Area Progressive Democratic Association Forming

The first official PDA (Progressive Democratiic Association ) meeting will be this Thursday at 7:00 pm at the home of Mr. Kim Kearby.  Please be kind enough to RSVP and feel free to pass this invitation along to others you know who may be interested or to bring a spouse, friend, parent, son or daughter, or neighbor.  Since this is our first official meeting and we are running up against the release of petitions for candidates to circulate in order to run for office, we will have a lot to discuss.  Things on the agenda:
  • Monthly peace vigil at the War Memorial
  • How to spread the word about PDA
  • How to best utilize PDA, Move On, DFA, and other orgs in our area
  • Getting involved with the Tenth Dems and the Lake County Democrats
  • Fundraisers and events that we should be involved in
  • Covering our precincts and becoming committee persons
  • Running for office or finding others who can, as well as which offices we need candidates for
  • Hosting house parties for local candidates 
  • Canvasing and phone banks
  • Creating a seminar for property tax assessments and also for consumer advocacy
  • Creating a local movie night as an awareness project
  • The campaign to end corporate rule through PDA, Move On, and Move to Amend
  • Economic and Social Justice Issues campaign
If there is anything else you would like added to our agenda, please let me know beforehand in order to make sure all topics are covered.  Until then, we look forward to seeing you Thursday night.
