Thank-you for answering the questions. Chicago Area CodePINK and Chicago Progressive Alliance will post our decisions about the level of our involvement on the Indymedia site.
A few final notes:
Your response to Daley and the City Resolution:
"First, Daley didn't vote for or against the City Council Resolutions, whatever his remarks afterwards. If he had wanted to stop them, he could have made it much more difficult, or even defeated them, but he didn't, for a number of reasons."
From an article in Peoples World Weekly by John Bachtell: www.pww.org/article/articleview/7765/1/287
The resolution passed despite intense pressure from Mayor Richard M. Daley and some aldermen who opposed the resolution on the grounds it would demoralize the troops.
So I guess Daley opposed the resolution, but not enough to pull out all the stops and defeat it.
(which was within his power)
Endorsements:
My mistake: Voices for Creative Nonviolence is not listed as a co-sponsor on the ILCPJ website, but they did verbally endorse.
FYI: I never stated that Chicago Progressive Alliance was mistakenly listed as an endorser.
We did endorse, but it was before the speakers were announced. We are now re-considering.
