This film takes on the issues of Dow Chemical and the Bhopal disaster, Exon and alternative
energy, and the corporate response to Katrina.
If you haven't experienced the Yes Men, you are in for a treat. If you have, prepare to be
enlightened further--and amused.

The FOP is a recognized organization in Waco now. We always attempt to contribute to
the national peace movement events, and we look for local opportunities to act for peace.
I feel we should get everyone's input this month as to what new directions or tactics should
we employ in 2011 to forward our goals. -an
