Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people." The Archive has assembled here e-mails exchanges from MAPC dating from the group's founding until late November 2001. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. X and all, If Wilmar is too far away from campus, then I really don't know what the point is of meeting off campus -- it's only on the 900 block of Jenifer St., parallel to Williamson St. on Madison's near-eastside.  If there's a potential problem with that distance, then I think we should remain in the campus area and if we meet in the campus area, why don't we just continue to meet on campus?  I don't recall what the idea of meeting off-campus was, except that it was a good idea and we should get out in the community.  Does anyone remember any other reason(s)? In rethinking it, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't continue to meet on campus until we get other constituencies involved which would point to meaningful different meeting sites.  It would also solve the problem of spending that money and more in the future, plus not have to deal with a difficult situation of trying to organize student transportation, on a space for our meetings which will start to eat up our budget, which could be better spent on more important things.  I also remember X reporting that we were making less and less donations at the meetings. A woman from Richland Center also contacted me because of Ech's Guest Column piece in the State Journal.  She found the madpeace website that way and looked up the name Cedder and found me, emailed me. They're a small group and I told them that we'd very much like to help them, involve in any way we can.  She also sent me a letter from a 59 year old dairy farmer who lives there part time and in Nicaragua part time.  He was involved the Vietnam War and his letter was mostt amazing; long too.  I sent it to X of Cap Times and also sent it to the media committee to edit so it might fit in as an OpEd or Guest Column length for all the other print media.  X, do you know where tthis stands?  I think getting it out, the sooner, the better because it's such an incredible piece and because he lives outside of "The Peoples Republic of Madison."
