NOTICE:
This event has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a future date.

On Monday, October 19, Democracy Action will holds its Fall Membership Meeting. We'll bring together new and existing DA members for a lively discussion of current topics having state and national importance.  Come join us to share food, beer, wine, conversation, political activism, and to build critical momentum in 2009 and 2010.  Guest speakers include:

* The Courage Campaign, organizers of the campaign to defeat Maine's Proposition 1.  They'll tell us about the November ballot proposal to repeal same-sex marriage in Maine, what they're doing to defeat it, and how their example can be used to fight Proposition 8 in California.

* Phil Ting, San Francisco Assessor-Recorder.  He'll discuss California's Proposition 13 and how closing the Prop. 13 loophole can help California out of its budgetary mess.

WHERE:     Shroeder's Restaurant Cafe
                240 Front Street (between Sacramento and California)
                San Francisco

WHEN:      Doors open at 6:00 pm, Program begins at 7:00

Help send Prpoposition 1 campaign workers to Maine.  Bring your checkbook and your airline miles!  Maybe even pack your bag?  The Courage Campaign will house any volunteer going to Maine for at least one week, but they need help getting the volunteers to Maine.

Democrats control the country, but Conservatives are untiring in their attempts to defeat our progressive agenda.  There's still plenty of work to do!
