She worries that John Kerry's position regarding the war in Iraq is too similar to George W. Bush's position. |
Democrats need to offer voters a choice.

Comedian
extraordinaire Lily Tomlin did not join Women in Black as we stood in
silence, facing the Meyerhoff before her January 28, 2003 preformance.
However Women in Black's invitation to
join them might have motivated Tomlin to introduce what she referred to
as the "global premire" of Ernistine, the telephone operator,
setting up a conference call between Geoge Bush, Saddam Hussein
and the North Korean President. The skit ended with Ernistine
connecting the presidents and saying "OK, boys, just talk."

She also spoke of
her hope, for three weeks after 9-11-01, that we might break the cycle
of violence and do something different ..., just "go through that
window" and examine other options.
Women in Black in
B'More will stand in front of the Meryerhof prior to each lecture in
the Women's Lecture Series and continue to invite each presentor to
stand with us in silence for peace.
