CampUS Strike for Peace Campaign List of PentaVersities
My petition (see previous CampUS post) will be delivered to the White House by Medea Benjamin on my first day of school, September 26. We can all deliver it again with signatures near the last day of school in June 2006. Signatures will be collected throughout the academic year in a sustained information outreach effort to inform our 300-plus Pentagon-dependent campus communities about weapons development in our schools.

I am not asking anyone else to strike—in fact, I advise against it—but please support this massive effort.

Build the movement:
If you would like to sign my petition, please send your name and city (title and/or school optional but recommended) as you would like them to appear (using above examples) to: bdb92@hotmail.com
If you would like to support the strike campaign with organizational resources, write to: bbogart@uoregon.edu
If you would like to support the strike campaign with financial resources:

Write checks to:
IntelligentFuture

And send to:
Strike for Peace
PO Box 3150
University of Oregon
Eugene OR 97403

My school town is an EXAMPLE of war-industry ties to our communities:
Eugene, Oregon (population 130,000) has 56 companies that serve the US military.
University of Oregon receives major funding from the Pentagon.
My home town is an EXAMPLE of war-industry ties to our communities:
Palo Alto, California (population 58,000) has 55 companies that serve the US military.
Stanford University receives major funding from the Pentagon.

What about your school or town? Find out: Ask Brian and support the effort.

1. PLEASE CONFIRM/clarify--
You are asking for a strike ONLY at the listed universities, and advise folks elsewhere NOT to strike?
