Protest Proposed Tar Sands Pipeline
RECEIVED Thu., Aug. 4, 2011
Dear Editor,
As I was (not) enjoying my nightly descent into the doldrums (aka, reading as much as I can on al Jazeera before I have to vomit), I came across an article about the upcoming peaceful protest of the proposed tar sands pipeline in D.C. I haven't been reading the Chronicle religiously of late, so I'm not sure whether this has been given any coverage. Just in case, though, I wanted to point out the way (www.tarsandsaction.org) to any who might be interested in joining this ambitious civil disobedience project (Aug. 20-Sept. 3). I've spent the last hour researching last-minute air fares and consulting my inner guru in order to decide if it might be feasible for me to participate. As a nursing mother, I've made the tough decision that my role won't be as active as I'd like. But perhaps you can go for me. And, Chronicle, if you haven't yet run a story, would you mind doing so?
