She noted <br />that apparently it was discussed by the Council and decided that the Council itself did not wish to <br />sponsor such a Resolution. She noted that she is present to ask the Council to rethink that decision <br />as well as to bring forward a few other ideas. The concept of Cities for Peace is a strange one. It <br />means that they are going to look at the bad effects of a war on Iraq in our own city. It means <br />devoting more time to building a better South Bend. It means engaging in talk with representatives <br />about how they wish to act in the world and how much they want to spend on those things. Ms. <br />Stecker advised that they have spoken to the Senators and Representatives and the war goes on. <br />Now they need the help of the Council who are the local elected representatives. They need the <br />Council's influence with the federal government to try to turn this around. Ms. Stecker noted that <br />the proposed Resolution asks the Council to use their influence to try to convince the federal <br />
