Hey , I know you are all busy, but i need some help over the next 30
days or so, before home Depot has it's share holder meeting.
I'm looking for folks to do a simple, half-hour long,
sign-holding/banner-waving demo at any Home Depot so that we(
international rivers)  can use the pictures and footage of numerous
demos across the country  to help pressure Home Depot from buying from
Chilean forest company's that are pushing a huge dam project though.
Please read the blog and check out our website . If you are interested,
or know anyone who might be please pass this info along.

here is the link to the  latest blog please take a sec, to read it and
look at the video and pass it around!

something
4) pass this info or blogs around your myspace/ face book site.
