Join GRASSROOTS PATRIOTS for a pot-luck workshop this Saturday

You are invited to join GRASSROOTS PATRIOTS at a pot-luck workshop this Saturday, April 4, 2009, 1:00 to 4:00 pm, at the Jim Ward Community Center, 301 NW 46 Avenue, Plantation.  The Jim Ward Community Center is about three blocks north of Broward Blvd. between State Road 7 (US-441) and Florida's Turnpike overpass (no Turnpike exit at Broward). Please RSVP what you are bringing by calling me at 954-579-3932 or through Meetup: http://democrat.meetup.com/254/calendar/10062663/ Topics on the agenda (there will be more) and their organizers: 1. Support the President's initiatives (Alan Ehrlich) 2. Petition for Fair Districts Florida (Cynthia Busch) 3. Stay on top of your Commissioners (Phil Busey) 4. Reduce mid-term risk by having lobbying rules (Phil Busey) 5. Adopt grassroots principles, organization (Ralph Rickel and others) President Obama's plan is to transform our economy by investing in health care, energy, and education, so how can we support it? How can we get petitions signed for the FairDistrictsFlorida.org amendment which will take the politics out of redistricting? How can we continue politics locally in Broward to make sure our Commissioners represent the voters not the lobbyists? Remember Jack Abramoff? What can the Democratic Party do to survive mid-term elections by cleaning up the lobbyist issues within the Party? How can we as GRASSROOTS PATRIOTS remain engaged and active?  How are we going to cover our neighborhoods by welcoming newcomers and by connecting with people of all communities.
