7 Meetups
I worked in DC for 6 years, including on ethics and political reform for Sen. Paul Wellstone; big supporter of clean campaigns & elections. Dem. PCO 43-1849, been a staffer, volunteer, intern, activist, or officeholder since I was 14!
To clean up politics! To create a system where anyone can truly run for elected office, politicians spend time listening to voters instead of raising big money, and make policies based on the needs of their community without distortion from wealthy interests. To restore public confidence in our democracy and increase voter turnout and other forms of civic participation. Democracy is not a spectator sport--it needs lots of public participation to succeed.

Yo! Can you check your email? I am attempting to schedule events requested by other members ;)
Hi Jon! Welcome to the group and thanks so much for signing up. I am really excited to plan the first meetup but am waiting a bit to give more people a chance to sign up. Are there any days/times that are best for you?
Hi Jon, I canceled the Golden Gardens bonfore Meetup because not enough people were interested. I guess the problem was that I did not promote it at all or people are just not interested in bofires on the beach.
Thanks for the lead on massage school, and thanks for setting up the meetup. See you at the next one
Yes it was good to meet you guys too, sorry I couldn't meet up with you after the play, my sister had someplace to be. Great suggestion though, I loved the play.
Hi Jon,
I RSVP'd last night and said I'd bring two guests to the play, but now only one of them can make it. So it will be myself, plus 1 guest coming to the play.
Good to see you on here, Jon! I could use some help organizing this thing, if you're interested. Lots of cross-interest,
I'm sure. I'm very surprised that the group is growing so quickly!
Please let me know if you'd like to help!
Hi Jon - good to hear from you...I was in exactly the same situtation, off the air more or less for 20 years ( I still kept a Ranger 2950 in my van for periodic use). I got back in after discovering all of the cool new things available to hams. Look forward to seeing at the meetup or on the net..
