[Imc-cleveland] regional newspaper

[ABIGAIL FISHEL]

Hey Dana.  Yeah, we talked about it for a bit.  Just me and Andy showed up 
but we seem to be the most active in the collective anyway so it wasn't that 
big a deal that no one else showed up.  He was just concerned that if the 
AFSC is going to be a part of the newsletter if it will be nonviolent 
oriented and politically endorse certain canidates, because if so, the IMC 
cannot be a part of .  We gotta stay neutral.
I talked to Tom P on Sunday and he dispelled all our worries.  So, other 
than the hesitations, the Cleveland IMC is down to working on the project, 
to the best of our ability.

Thanks for your interest.   A.
