<P>Totaling things up, before the march I think that we passed out about 55 leaflets, and if we assume that maybe half of the various stacks of leaflets that we gave to others throughout the campaign were actually distributed, then I think that it’s safe to add on another 60. This gives a total of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">5455</span>, which I’m sure is more pre-event distribution of literature than has occurred in a good number of years.</P>
<P>During the march SAIC distributed maybe 200 leaflets (a wild guess) to the people on the streets. From my perspective, this contributed to the political impact of the event, but I don’t think this number should be considered part of the O-27 mobe effort.</P>
<P>More summation comments in a while.</P>

Not the day after tomorrow! Now!"

Several people said<br><br>that they were disappointed with Obama and the liberals for the wars<br><br>that they have kept the country involved in, and there was a widespread<br><br>feeling that Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was a joke. Earlier in the day<br><br>I ran into D, of SA/O22 as he was racing to catch a bus, and I walked<br><br>with him for a few minutes. He said that the SA chapter had had a<br><br>meeting at which they discussed endorsing O17, but decided not to do so<br><br>because they thought it would be small and they were discouraged by the<br><br>situation on O7 when ANSWER and WCW held competing demonstrations. I<br><br>said that this was very sectarian of SA because we weren't part of that<br><br>squabble, and he agreed, and said he was disgusted with this decision. <br><br>I mentioned that E. had heard from R. K. that he was not aware of O17<br><br>in spite of all the work we had done, and D. said that he thought that<br><br>R. K. was certainly lying when he said that, in order to stall for time<br><br>on the issue. I asked D. about speaking for O22 on Sat. and he said<br><br>that he had heard from Anton and replied that if no one else from O22<br><br>would speak, he would. This exchange confirms my feeling that D. is<br><br>one of the least sectarian of the SA people and he was as usual very<br><br>friendly.
