However, I wanted to share this October 31st post with Friends. Perhaps you will enjoy, or at least chuckle at, earlier posts, and perhaps you will share the blog with others. To my surprised Walhydra's Porch has become a perversely 21st century confessional Quaker journal of sorts.

Over 20 of our opponents of the June 2006 amendment have lost their seats in the House surpassing the 15 vote margin we need to win a vote in Congress. With this new and more favorable Congress, we expect a successful vote on the SOA/ WHINSEC. The next few months will be a crucial time for SOA Watch as we work to connect with these new Members of Congress, educate them about this important issue, and urge them to support closure of the school. As we prepare for the upcoming legislative campaign, we also need you to come to Georgia this November to show Congress that our movement continues to grow. In hope, Aisha, Christy, Emily, Eric, Hendrik, Joao, Lisa, Pam, and Roy - Contact Pamela Bowman in the SOA Watch office with questions at pbowman(at)soaw.org or 202-234-3440. - Find out more about the November 17-19 Vigil to Close the SOA.
