August 9th, in Pittsburgh - DNC final platform
meeting at the Convention Center.
The DNC is looking for volunteers to help out with the event, and volunteering will get you a seat for a while in the meeting, I'm told (second hand info).
If you're in the area and want to do something for HR676, you might try contacting Hal Sanders at hdsanders@aol.com.
Or contact Jim Ferlo's office (our state rep and a great guy).
I unfortunately/fortunately will be in WV myself.
Hey...
I live in Pittsburgh...and I'm getting ideas...
Hey Pittsburgh, I'm thrilled
that you're getting ideas. I'm so disappointed that my travel schedule takes me away then. If I thought one extra person got involved in my stead, it would be a joyful thing, no illusion!
Please post a report!
And I'll take back everything I ever said about Richard Mellon Scaife. Or not!
[ ] Very tepidly voting for Obama [ ] ?????. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.
Bonus points
for anyone who stands up in the meeting and screams, "Hello Cleveland!," a la Spinal Tap.
pls fight any changes on healthcare and choice--
they're planning on weakening our strong choice stance, and probably will kill UHC altogether, i'm betting, and it's been in the platform for decades.
