In over 150 towns and cities, prominent speakers and ordinary citizens will hold public forums and host house parties and study circles. Over 200 events are listed online at AfterDowningStreet.org; in Houston, the Downing Street Minutes Teach-In will feature ...
... former US diplomat Ann Wright, who resigned in March 2003 in opposition to the war in Iraq and who has testified to Congress about the Minutes.
Ms. Wright has been featured in articles in the Washington Post magazine, Government Executive magazine, Foreign Service Journal, Ms magazine and has been interviewed by radio and TV networks. She participated in the documentary film "Uncovered: The Truth about the Iraq War."

Thank you, PDiddie, for this information. I certainly plan to attend. It is so important for us to assist the media in keeping the spotlight on the lies of the Bush Administration, especially the lies that led us to war.
