Let's Keep Involved Democracy Going

Our December meeting will be an official Obama Change Is Coming house meeting. Please sign-up through Obama's web site. The location and attendance of these meetings will be posted there. Seeing the amount of participation encourages others to get involved, too. The Obama transition team is asking folks to help plan their next steps. Our ideas and feedback will be submitted to help shape their priorities in months ahead.

We'll have an open discussion about how we can promote a progressive agenda on domestic and foreign policies with the new Administration. We'll revisit the priorities we identified together at our Platform Meeting in July, and discuss what we can do to help realize Obama's vision for government to be transparent, participatory and efficient. His Administration is already inviting us to get more involved via new channels of two-way communication at www.change.gov and by creating a new Cabinet position of "Progressive Liaison.";

To paraphrase email from David Plouffe - there's still a lot of work to be done in communities all across the country -- including ours!

Continued involvement from all is what the Obama office is asking for - and that is what we need to be ready for to help the world move forward in healing.

As Barack said on Election Night, "This victory alone is not the change we seek -- it is only the chance for us to make that change."
