Pax-salon Mailing List: Fwd: No Stadium Tax Coalition news

[patty (pattypax]

I am sending this to the listserve for the salon because this is what  
some of us at the salon have been working on, and the rest who receive  
this might want to help out w/the petition drive when it comes.
Thanks,

patty
