Janet H. Brown
Executive Director
Commission on Presidential Debates

Dear Ms. Brown:

The St. Louis Instead of War Coalition requests that the four St. Louis Citizens listed below be granted entrance into the Debate this evening at Washington University. As the descriptions below indicate, each of these people’s lives has been profoundly impacted by U.S. policies that divert resources away from the needs of our people to wars and military occupations.

Andrew Wimmer, a longtime member of Instead of War (IOW) and the Center for Theology and Social Analysis (CTSA), and a parent, was ejected from this week's public school board meeting for the unthinkable offense of asking a question that wasn't pre-approved by the board.

Emphasis added...
