The Concord, Manchester, Nashua Draft Al Gore Meetup

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 09:37:16 -0400

This being the first group in this part of the state we will consolidate the three largest cities into one group until membership increases enough to divide into individual city groups. In one week I will look at where most of our members live and then decide whether to meet at the Nashua or Manchester Barnes & Noble. To familiarize yourselves with the current climate (no pun intended) regarding Al Gore, I suggest reading this great Rolling Stone article titled "Run, Al, Run"

DFNH-Souhegan Valley Meetup in One Week!

Tue, 29 Mar 2005 16:05:17 -0500

Hello all,

Just here to remind you that the Democracy for Souhegan Valley Meetup is One Week from Today: Tuesday, April 5th at 6:30. This month we'll be meeting at Nancy White's house, right next to the Amherst Public Library on Main Street.

The March meetup was incredibly productive(you can see the notes at http://www.democracyfornewhampshire.com/node/view/1093) and we hope to do the same this month as the meeting will focus around beginning editing on a video on voting we'll be working on with DFNH's Fair Elections Committee and perhaps a special guest to be announced.

In addition, we'll be having an talk on Social Security and Medicare from Tom Deery of the Alliance of Retired Americans, an update on what we've accomplished on our own in the past month, and much more from Democracy for America and Democracy for New Hampshire.

I hope to see you all there!

Andy Sylvia
Organizer

March Meetup Report

Tue, 08 Mar 2005 19:41:02 -0500

March Meetup:

A quick report on our March meeting at the School for International Training. We had the extraordinary privilege of having two Democratic party leaders join around thirty of us. Ray Buckley has taken on among many other responsibilities the vice-chair of the Northeastern Region of the country, which interestingly enough includes New England, the Middle Atlantic, islands in the Caribbean, and Democrats living abroad world wide. His political roots and many of his activities are in Manchester, NH. Peter Mallary, after a varied career in Vermont state government and serving the Democratic party, is now its chair. Their discussion and insights were fascinating, and we greatly enjoyed their company. I can't cover all the topics they did here and keep this brief, but I will summarize by saying that they report that the Democratic National Committee is excited by its new chief. Gov. Dean is the first openly elected chair of the DNC in some time (President's typically designate who will be the chair of their party as Clinton did.) As we know, Dean's passion is to build the party from the grassroots up (as the Republicans have done in recent years and the DNC has not). The parties in both NH and VT are working hard to do this, getting their voter lists together, organizing volunteers and committees, etc. It is a national effort which Dean started out with the significant request that each state party submit a five year plan indicating where it wants to be in 2010 and specifically how it plans to get there. Communication within the party is to be a major focus, and both our guests are very involved in finding ways to improve it. The meetup had many questions and the discussion was wide-ranging and lively. We were all very appreciative of our guests' having come so far on a winter night.

Upper Valley February Meetup

Mon, 31 Jan 2005 15:14:06 -0500

Greetings!

We have an exciting meetup planned for February. Two members of the Democratic National Committee - Gaetan DiGangi of the New Hampshire delegation and Peter Mallary of the Vermont delegation - will join us to hear our thoughts about the direction of the Democratic Party and who its next leader should be. We'll also hear from them about some of their experiences and how they see things happening inside the party.

You can see details for this event, and information about other topics of interest, at our website.

Freedom & Liberty for Some?

Mon, 31 Jan 2005 15:13:10 -0500

This compelling article appeared in the Connecticut Valley Spectator's January 27th issue. It was written by the Upper Valley Meetup's own Audrey McCollum, a writer and retired psychotherapist...

In his inaugural speech, President Bush aimed to engage our nation in a moral crusade to spread freedom and democracy across the world. Together, the words "freedom," "liberty," and "free" were used 49 times (I counted), as though the president and Michael Gerson, his speechwriter, hoped to burn them into our minds. The word "peace" was used only once.

The president's mission actually replicates the aims of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) which I described on 12/4/04. Published in 1997 by men who include key players in the Bush inner circle, this scheme favors the use of pre-emptive wars -- possibly several at once -- as well as new nuclear weapons, domination of space through Star Wars systems, and control of cyberspace through the Global Information Grid.

Although new nuclear weapon development was voted down by congress, the president has activated the other ghastly schemes. Now dark hints from Vice President Cheney and observations of The New Yorker's writer Seymour Hersh indicate that the president's warlike sights are now aimed at Iran.
