DESCRIPTION:FW:We're Just One Day Away from Oct. 27\nMake a Donation to Help Meet the 
 Large Expenses of the Demonstration\n\nWe can't do it\nwithout your 
 donation!\n\nThe A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition has major responsibility for the 
 demonstration, including paying for a large part of the costs of the stage, 
 sound, and setup at the rallies, where the speakers and performers will 
 appear.\n\nWe still have to raise thousands of dollars to pay for ANSWER's 
 share of the march and rally expenses.\n\nPlease help A.N.S.W.E.R. meet 
 these and other large expenses by clicking here to donate.\nWe are now just 
 one day away from Oct. 27 - a major day of national protest against the 
 Iraq war. Our sense is that Saturday's demonstration - which is beginning 
 at 11:00 am at Civic Center in San Francisco - will be a large outpouring 
 of opposition to the war.\n\nThe upcoming protest in San Francisco has 
 resulted in a remarkable degree of cooperation between a wide variety of 
 progressive organizations, which have come together in the October 27 
 Coalition. Almost all forces inside the progressive anti-war movement, the 
 impeachment movement, progressive veterans and soldiers' family’s 
 organizations are marching together. There will be different banners and 
 slogans, but it will be a demonstration of unity. And what will be 
 noteworthy is that many, many people will be attending their very first 
 demonstration.\n\nWe are appealing to you now because we are facing an 
 urgent situation that requires the help of people like you who have been in 
 the thick of building or supporting the anti-war movement.\n\nWhile 
 hundreds of organizations are coming together for the San Francisco 
 protest, the ANSWER Coalition has shouldered much of the financial and 
 logistical responsibility for the huge administrative task of set-up for 
 stage, sound, portable toilets, first aid stations, and the myriad of other 
 organizational tasks that are absolutely necessary for the success of a 
 mass demonstration.\n\nWe must raise thousands of dollars in the next day 
 to help pay for ANSWER's share of the march and rally expenses. As you 
 know, there will be a rally with well-known speakers, musicians, a symbolic 
 Die-In to illustrate visually the effects of war, and an anti-war 
 convergence. To make sure everyone who comes to the San Francisco protest 
 can hear the program, we have to pay for a professional stage and 
 production team.\n\nWe are also helping to organize buses and vans from 
 various areas in Northern California, Oregon, Nevada and elsewhere so that 
 anti-war activists, students and their families can participate in the San 
 Francisco protest.\n\nToday, we are making history just as an earlier 
 generation did when they carried out historic protests against the Vietnam 
 War. We can do this with your help. The self-sacrifice of individual people 
 who understand the importance of this mission is the key. Some people can 
 give a small amount, others can give much more. By doing what you can, the 
 anti-war movement will succeed. It is the equality of sacrifice that 
 matters. Each person giving what they can.\n\nIf you have never donated, 
 please do so now. If you helped in the past, there is no time more urgent 
 than right now to make another contribution. You can make an online 
 donation or learn how to send a check by clicking this link. You can also 
 donate over the phone at 415-821-6545.\n\nblue_donate\n\nSee you on
