<P>Phil, Alex and me handed out 143 leaflets on northern Broadway. Lots of positive responses. </P>
<P>We also had signs with a slogan against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on one side, and the demonstration information on the other. Many people looked at these, and I think that this helped raise interest in the leaflet.</P>
<P>Total as of Saturday afternoon: 2413. (This does not count the small stacks of flyers that comrades have left in a few establishments.)<br><br>Frank</font><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br><br>From: Eric Gordan <EJRD1993@HOTMAIL.COM><br><br>To: antiwar <ANTIWAR@LISTS.HCOOP.NET><br><br>Sent: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:21:45 +0000 (UTC)<br><br>Subject: Re: [Oct. 17 Seattle] Report, one mass-work thread<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Yesterday, 3:30 to 5:00, I distributed 44 leaflets, mainly at 23rd and Jackson, and 5th and Jackson. I had two conversations, one with an East African man who wavered between agreeing with me that the US was not in Afghanistan for humanitarian reasons, and being reluctant to support US withdrawal, because he "wished" that nations would act in humanitarian ways, and because he thought that the terrorists would regroup and attack if the US left. The other was with an Black American Shi'ite Muslim, who was arguing that, unlike any of the other major religions, Islam really was about liberation and self-determination.</P>
<br>
<DIV>I also stopped at the coffee shop which a few weeks ago happily took 20 - 30 half-sheets to put on their very small counter. They were again happy to take more half-sheets, so I left 40 this time. They put them on the counter right where customers stand to pay.<br>
<br>
<DIV>Today, Phil and I leafletted the Israeli war resisters talk at the AFSC. The traffic flow in to the event was slow, too slow for two to leaflet, so Phil went in to the event. I passed out 72 leaflets there. N. L. was friendly, and took one. A few others who I last saw during the O27 organizing coalition a few years ago took one. The older woman, S., took one with a quizzical but not unfriendly expression. </DIV>
<br>
<DIV>I couldn't stay for the event, but Phil did.</DIV>
