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. When I made the motion for the "two pronged" strategy, I phrased it as a "recommendation" from the membership to the Policy Working Group, in anticipation of this possibility.  Ultimately, the alders, not MAPC or the Policy Committee, are in control of this process. If your group feels that it has made its best effort to get a stronger version introduced, and the alders won't go for it, then I have no problem with proceeding with whatever the alders are willing to support. The unfortunate consequence is that we will lose out on the opportunity to hold a very public debate over the war itself -- something that, as Allen suggested at the meeting based on Gulf War precedent, would be a great organizing opportunity.  But, as I say, we're not in control of this process, so we take what we can get. One suggestion:  Perhaps when hearings are held on the "weaker" version, we can encourage speakers to support that resolution, but urge the Council to take a stronger position in the future.
