Edward and I went out this afternoon and put up posters on Capital Hill, along Broadway, on Pike and Pine, and both east and west on Madison several blocks. We also postered at 23rd and Jackson. We put up a total of 120. I also passed out 86 leaflets between while we were postering and at the ANSWER event tonight.
Running total: 4167

Since Edward, Alex, Helen, Phil, Anton and James were all out postering and/or leafleting today, this is only a very partial report of the day’s work
I passed out 114 leaflets at SCCC, with numerous good responses. Some examples: a student who wants to get an active anti-war group going there took a dozen of the small leaflet to put up inside the school; a South Asian guy who always takes SAIC leaflets came back to ask for four more to give to friends, and ended our conversation w/ “see you on the 17th!”; a vet who has recently returned from Afghanistan was very happy to see us out working with the leaflets and posters, and happy to see us denouncing imperialism.
Later I passed out 38 leaflets at 23rd and Jackson, 95% to people going to the store or walking in the neighborhood. The ANSWER event itself started out pretty small---maybe 16 people (including us), but it eventually grew to twice that size. (A man traveled from Everett and three people all the way from Bellingham in order to be there.) All that was done was to hold up signs for passing cars, and hand leaflets to people passing on the sidewalks, but it wasn’t that bad of event, and we all had conversations with various people, and we made a couple new contacts.
Lastly, it was a day for non-sectarianism, i.e., Jane had earlier sent the October 17 demonstration info to the ANSWER mailing list, and said that she was going to do so again next week. She also announced it over the bullhorn, first. Jim M. (WWP) asked for and wrote down the info for next week’s meeting.
Running total: 3961. When the other reports come in, we’ll be considerably over 4000.

Last night James and I put up ~50 posters around the U District,
achieving pretty good pole saturation with a focus on bus stops.
There may be some of the first run of posters left after tomorrow, but
we can simply chop off the O7 ad after then. (For this I recommend a
ruler and a razor blade--you can do a professional-looking job on 100
posters in a minute or two.)
