As urged in an email by Starhawk, I am interested in including a reading of Rachel’s Words in our large Riverside Farm Passover Sedar or in the braoder Montpelier/Plainfield/Hardwick Community. Please tell me how we might do this and what next steps might be. We have successfully just completed our 3rd anual production of the Vagina Monologues and I am familiar with that structure. I would love to spread Rachel’message of Peace especialy at this time.

I am an anti-war conservative, and like many on the Right, I am outraged, by the murder of this innocent person. No matter your political beliefs, what was done to Rachel, was a terrible crime.
