PROPOSITION ONE: PEACE THROUGH JUSTICE P.O. Box 27217 Washington, D.C. 20038 (202) 462-0757 February 24, 1993 Josh St. Germaine and Sue 312 11th Street NE Washington, D.C. Dear Josh and Sue, Thanks again for the T.V. Actually I haven't been able to get it to work very well, but it's still better than the one we had. Enclosed is some information about Proposition One. But that is just a small first step. To have any practical this idea will have to be national, and then international. So we are plugging away. In addition to having qualified the idea for the ballot here in D.C., we also have enough signatures to qualify it as an initiative in Takoma Park, Maryland. We haven't submitted those signatures to the Board of Elections yet, because we are negotiating with the City Council. Our aim is to have the City of Takoma give some official recognition -- specifically we're asking for a city government voice mail slot and meeting room --to assist in organizing a volunteer effort aimed at qualifying Proposition One in the neighboring counties. Michael Liebeck, who did a tremendous job on managing the signature collection process here in D.C., is presently organizing a campaign in California. Also enclosed is an AP article which ran in the Washington Times. Over the past twelve years the Times has been downright hostile the nicest thing they ever called us was "pitiable lunatics." In 1984 they even sent a reporter and photographer along with several carloads of thugs who tried to take our signs out of the park at 3:00 AM one morning. So it is encouraging to note that the Times has edited this AP story so positively. E.g. "The women see themselves more as teachers than protesters." We see this as hope for humanity. If people can change our minds, perhaps, we can choose our fate. Should we choose to rule by love and reason we might find ourselves with a truly pleasant government. In service to peace through reason,
