I wish that was on my NJ ballot when I voted this morning!

From the Berkshires to parts of Boston, voters in more than one-third of Massachusetts' cities and towns will have a chance today to register their opinion about the war in Iraq.

Voters in 36 Massachusetts House districts, covering all or part of 139 municipalities, will be asked whether their state representative should be instructed to vote for a resolution calling on President Bush and Congress to end the war immediately and bring the troops home.

The nonbinding question, advanced by a loose coalition of peace groups and other activists, is one of the nation's most ambitious antiwar referendums, said Paul Shannon, cq a statewide coordinator of the ballot effort for the American Friends Service Committee.

Irene Getman cq of Waltham, whose grandson is serving with the Army in Baghdad, said she planned to hold a sign outside a polling station this morning despite a sore throat.

1. It was certainly on my ballot

that and a collective bargaining initiative, though both are
non-binding.
