Please bring peace cranes (origami or signs with cranes) with messages for the President. Congressman Rothman will help us get the cranes to the White House. Involve your school, youth group, senior program, veteran, religious, labor or other group in making the cranes and writing messages. Perhaps you will want to read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr and in the tradition of Sadako, speak out to prevent war. (This website has animated instructions for making paper cranes. http://origami.org.uk/origamicrane). You can google directions for peace doves if the crane is too complicated. Or, young children may just want to draw peace birds.)
