[CIMC-working] grant notes to do: a general note? contact barcelona, melbour

[Garth Liebhaber]

Greetings Doug and gang,
    wanted to respond t o Doug and provide support, though I don't remember 
all of the details to when and where George Soros was a bad guy.  I have to 
confess that after reading through the articles I promptly tore them into 
quarter size scratch sheets.  I caught the gist of it though.
     None the less, I can vollunteer to be a liason with one or two of the 
three, perhaps Athens and Melbourne.
     Question; being an indymedia.org list that is open, do we need to be 
concerned with our tact?
                                                                             
                                                Solidaritat, Garth

>If we can make concrete proposals to the chicago list before the next

>Such as, drafts of:

>So,
>Shall we contact the barcelona, melbourne, and athens imcs and suggest that

>Note: these locals seem to share our positions on ethics of funding --
