VIGILS TO SUPPORT CINDY SHEEHAN -- Updates & Photos Regarding Wednesday Evening Vigils From Around The US At MoveOn.org
[Duchess Note - I'm originally from Westchester County and its awesome hearing of the many NY state counties that participated in the vigils. In NYC alone there were almost 3000 people. In Saratoga there were 190, in Albany the total was almost 400, Columbia County had 105, Schenectady had 53 and Schoharic County stood proudly with 13. If I left out a particular county, I do apologize. Bravo to all!]

Please Help Us Gather 144,000 Signatures for Peace -- We Invite You Take Part In An Historic Global Peace Mission – STEPS FOR PEACE!
International Peace Troubadour James Twyman's Beloved Community and Earthdance have joined forces for an unprecedented peace mission uniting over 144,000 global citizens to sign a declaration of peace. This is a profound opportunity for everyone dedicated to creating a world of compassion and peace.

PLEASE HELP US GATHER THESE 144,000 ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES FOR PEACE BY PASSING THIS EMAIL TO YOUR OWN LIST

THE STEPS FOR PEACE PROJECT
Our goal is to gather 144,000 signatures (in this case electronic signatures) which will be presented to Pope Benedict as well as to officials from the UN gathering in Assisi on September 21, the United Nation's International Day of Peace. Help us send a strong message to the leaders of the world proclaiming our intent for creating a New World. To sign the declaration today, please go to … www.emissaryoflight.com/peacewalk/

James will lead a peace walk from Assisi to Rome September 12th - 21st ending with a Papal audience where he, joined by Earthdance International founder, Chris Deckker, will present the names of those asking for peace to the Pope. The following day they will take the list of names to the United Nations peace conference taking place in Assisi. Meanwhile, Earthdance International is coordinating a global peace event taking place in hundreds of cities around the world to dance and pray for peace the weekend of September 17th. The highlight of the Earthdance International event is a simultaneous dance-floor link up, when every event across the world plays the Prayer for Peace.

We are asking the people of the world to both join us in prayer on September 17th and to sign the Declaration. If you are interested in joining the peace walk in Assisi or the Earthdance International celebrations, you can click on the links below. There is great power in prayer, so join us in making the dream of peace a reality! Please sign up and be counted! Once again, please pass this email to everyone you know, and sign the declaration today.
