[haw-info] New HAW statement approved

[statement at historiansagainstwar.org]

Members and Friends of Historians Against the War,

Voting has been completed on ratification of the proposed new basic
statement of HAW, and the result was 194 Yes votes (93%) and 14 No votes,
so the statement has been adopted.  Many thanks to those who took the time
to vote, and to those who provided feedback on an earlier draft of the
statement.

As a result of the vote, a better-defined category of "members" of HAW has
been created.  People who find themselves in substantial agreement
(broadly defined) with the statement are invited to go to
http://www.historiansagainstwar.org/statement.html and fill out a
four-item form.  This web page also has the text of the statement.

Those who are currently on the "HAW-Info" list but do not choose to become
members of HAW will be kept on the list, for purposes of occasional
informational e-mailings, as in the past.

Jim O'Brien and Marc Becker
co-chairs, Historians Against the War
