Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 07:02 PM by paineinthearse
Didn't know if this falls under GDP or ACTIVIST, but here it goes. Sounds like this would be a wonderful addition to your July 23 house party. Received by email from AFTERDOWNINGSTREET.ORG

========================================================

LISTEN TO TAPE OF THE JULY 23, 2002, DOWNING STREET MEETING…
