This Thursday many Wisconsinites will converge on the 
State Capital for a rally and march to ask for a full 
investigation into the Downing Street memo.   It is 
hoped that hundreds will join us to help support 
John Conyers' call for an investigation into the 
Downing Street Memo.

At 5:30 we will march down State St. to the UW Library 
Mall in a show of support and solidarity with those 
marching in Washington DC and throughout the country. 
It is our earnest hope that our voices will combine 
into a noise big enough to be heard by our leaders, 
and our media.


Please distribute this information widely.
