LOL well then let me throw it out there: tag can be a great place
to spread info abt our vairous major actions, and general boston
activities. I think as long as we are waiting for ACE and such
PDtag would be a great way to gather awwareness and support that
way when we do make a coordinated effort with ACE we will have
informed people ready to act :)
