Act Locally

To show your support for Minnesota Education Commissioner Cheri Pierson Yecke (a guest on Saturday's NARN show) you can sign this on line petition.

To show your support for our troops in Iraq (and throughout the world for that matter) you can stop by the State Capitol and pick up an updated yard sign:

Eagan resident Joe Repya says he will distribute 1,000 new signs Saturday that declare, "Support the USA & Our Troops -- Peace Through Strength."

Last year, he said, he distributed about 30,000 signs that bore the legend, "Liberate Iraq. Support Our Troops. Call Your Congressperson."

Repya, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve who served in Vietnam and the 1991 Gulf War, plans to distribute the signs starting at 2 p.m. at the State Capitol in St. Paul. That's an hour before an antiwar demonstration is scheduled to be held on the Capitol grounds, which Repya said was a coincidence.
