Hi all,

I am strongly of the view that the red heading below (ie the original heading) should be used - we now have 3500 people who have signed on to the "keep Aust out of US wars " statement.  I think the conference publicity needs to contain a strong statement of that position.

Regards

Ross.

Dear all,

In view of today's announcement to send Australian troops to Afghanistan is it worthwhile to reconsider the original sub-title for the conference - Keep Australia Out of U.S. wars.

It is still not clear to me if objections to original sub-heading (which is also the main heading of the statement) was dropped from the conference box in the ad. because of disagreement as a sub-heading for the conference, or limited space in the advertisement.

To avoid further delays in preparations for the conference I replaced the sub-heading "Keep Australia Out of US. wars", with "The movement for peace and an independent Australian foreign policy."  See attached draft conference programme - also emailed out on Saturday.

Several people queried the change to the sub-heading.

Your views please.

" War, Peace and Independence - the movement for peace and an independent Australian foreign policy.”

or

"War, Peace and Independence - Keep Australia Out of U.S. wars"

I agree; with the suggestion that we delete the dots in US. 

Keep Australia out of US wars

Peace, Dawn
