VYC & Volunteer Recruitment Meeting
Hey everyone,

other issues that concern us
here are three that are of critical importance, I think, for preservation of the representative democracy we may be in danger of losing.
1) the restoration of the election process, because if we don't preserve that, then we have no peaceful way to ever throw the bums out. election reform includes absolutely transparent voting which values precinct workers over "convenience" machines. it also includes legislation to remove the ability of big money to buy elections and political influence.
2) the restoration of constitutional rights of citizenship (privacy, habeus corpus, etc) which have been under assault from both government and corporate business for some time.
3) the restoration of the primary role of informed, interested, and involved citizen in our system. If the end result of our system of education is to turn out a citizenry which does not accept responsibility for its ownership of this government, then that system of education is a liability and must be changed.

Greetings and welcome to the party!
Hey everyone,
Its nice to have a blog up and running, thanks Nick, so that we can all converse and get together in one place to share ideas, dates/times, etc. and keep up to date on everything.
We are a part of this political process to represent you so we want to know what issues you are most concerned with. Be it anything from the War in Iraq and global warming, to immigration and the economy, feel free to post or comment and discuss those issues with us. We plan on taking our involvement in this election to November and beyond, and we hope you will stay involved too. "The most important political office is that of private citizen." - Justice Louis Brandeis.
We are currently looking for people who want to help us get elected to the Democratic National Convention. At the Congressional District Caucuses on May 17 we will have that opportunity and would love for you to join us, in handing out flyers, carrying signs, talking to people, and doing other things we might come up with along the way. Would you be interested in joining our posse? We're both really serious about making this happen and of course we need as much help as we can get, so it would be lovely you have you on board.
Thanks for visiting, drop by anytime!
