Thank the Spirits! RI Has a Chapter of Brit Zedek v'Shalom (Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace)

I was recently reading a copy of the Jewish Voice and Herald, which I had picked up at the Cranston Library (the Sockanosset Branch) and found a reference to the Rhode Island chapter of Brit Zedek v'Shalom. It was not the article below, but that is sadly worth reading. It contains links to statements from RI's delegation in Washington, as well as Gov.Carcieri and Mayor Cicilline...

Here's a link to the Rhode Island chapter of this national Jewish organization.

I missed a meeting last week.
They have an excellent list of links...

Friends of the Cranston [Rhode Island] Public Library Present:

End of the Year Celebration

Guest speaker Senator Lincoln Chafee
author of Against The Tide
Wednesday, May 14 ---7:00 p.m.
Cranston Public Library
140 Sockanosset Cross Road

" Senator Lincoln Chafee assesses the first six years of the Bush administration and traces his own rise from small-town mayor to one of his party's most liberal members and makes predictions about the future direction of both political sides. "

This program is free and open to the public.

Copies of the book will be available yada yada yada...
If Lincoln Chafee had left the R. party sooner, he would still be a U.S. Senator. If his father had not been senator, how likely is it, that he would have become senator!?
Sometimes Linc attends Richard Walton's birthday party, and I must say, he is affable and patient.
