IF You Need Help Posting and Emailing Your Event Pls Contact Me
To Iraq Town Hall organizers:
If you are in the process of organizing an event, either in April or May, and need some posting/emailing support, or a list of speakers, pls contact me. I work for Democrats.com and can advise you if you've never organized an event before.
When you do post your event it's important to list your congressional district number, besides just a town or city. It makes our job easier in locating your event within our system.
In order to post or email folks in your district, in many cases I will need to go into the system to make the necessary changes. So if you're having difficulty in either posting or emailing others, pls contact me ASAP.
If you posted a preliminary message without the date and venue, you can now go back and edit your original message or post a new one with the specific details of the event. We won't know that a real event is taking place unless you tell us!!
Warm regards,
Sophie de Vries

In 2006 we elected a
In 2006 we elected a Congress to end the occupation of Iraq. If we don't hold that Congress to it, we will not have the power in 2008 to elect anyone for any stated purpose. Fulfillment of campaign promises will be entirely optional in 2009. Our last chance to hold the current Congress to its commitment is in the coming month of April, when the House takes up Bush's request for another $102 billion of our grandchildren's money.
All over the country, ordinary citizens are taking on the role of leaders - many of them for the first time - and are beginning to plan town hall meetings in their congressional districts to demand that their representatives oppose any more funding for the occupation. This is not an effort to leave troops without body armor, but to bring them home where they do not need it. We've had enough of nonsensical excuses, and we're demanding action. We applaud the House of Representatives for (thus far) refusing to back telecom immunity, and we insist that it similarly refuse to back the occupation of Iraq.
