Hollow ANSWER?

[Nathan Newman]

Oh don't forget my organization, the National Lawyers Guild, which signed on
early to give the whole thing momentum early on (and whose leaders sit on
local organizing committees in SF and LA and do legal work in DC).  Much to
my regret.

Subject: Hollow ANSWER?

I took a scan down ANSWER's 'co-sponsor' list and
noticed there are few actual groups of any size
or history on it.  The main exceptions seem to be
the Green Party and Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom.

There are some Jewish peace groups I know about,
but I don't think they are very large.  There are
some Muslim ones that could be significant, but
I don't know anything about them.

There are lots of individuals or varying notoriety
and importance.

So I'm puzzled as to how they got the franchise,
at least up till now, on the anti-Iraq activities.
Is there so little left
of the other cadre groups that WWP was able to dominate?

Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
