An Update from the Upper Valley
Vermonters! Hello, and please consider helping out in the Upper Valley area—you are Obama/Biden NH’s secret weapon!….. Below is our latest update and plea… Best, Jennifer
Hello Upper Valley for Obama, with a special welcome to new members…
Less than 50 days until the election, and recent events underscore how important this election will be to our nation and the world. We’ve seen yet again the devastating effects of changing weather patterns- attributed by many to global warming; we have watched both Lehman Brothers and Merril Lynch fold; the markets here and abroad are reacting strongly; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were bailed out as there are 9, 800 foreclosures a day…. All this in about a week.
Which is why what we need is ACTION. If you care about the environment, are concerned about the economy, are uneasy at the prospect of a foreign policy fueled by the Bush doctrine and misinformation, want to see women’s rights protected and expanded to include equal pay for equal work, believe all Americans should have access to health care, want veterans to have adequate care and support when they come home…. The list goes on… If the prospect of McCain /Palin facing these issues scares you as it does me….
Then you need to ACT- action garners votes, fretting does nothing. There are many ways you can help:
- ATTEND TONIGHT’S (TUESDAY 9/16) ORGANIZING MEERTING AT EBAs IN HANOVER. IF you want to grab food, come around 6 or so, the meeting will start at 7. More information and PLEASE RSVP through this link http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gs7gv2
