As the Iraq War continues to garner attention as one of the most significant issues of this election cycle, the St. Paul groups of Democracy for America (DFA) is pleased to sponsor an Iraq War Forum on Monday, Sept. 11th., 7:00 p.m. at the Macalester College Weyerhaeuser Chapel, 1600 Grand Ave. in St. Paul. The forum will consist of a panel of four participants and a moderator. There will be an opportunity for questions from the audience. The primary purpose of this forum is to open up a discussion, as opposed to a debate, to this critical issue that concerns us all. For more information visit the website:

Lou Ellingson is a former combat Navy Veteran, having served on Swift Boats in Vietnam in 1969-70. He is now a retired Navy Captain, with 25 years service in the Naval Reserve. Lou resides in Eden Prairie and is a small business owner.
