Proposition Pros and Cons and "A Responsible Plan" - May 7th

A double delight of information!

First, SMCDFA and League of Women Voters member, Judy Orttung, will share with us the merits and problems with the propositions we’ll vote for on June 3rd.

Then, our Chair of the Out of Iraq Task Force, Ashleigh Evans, will report on their group’s recent activities and will explain the new, intriguing proposal, “A Responsible Plan for Ending the War in Iraq.” 53 Congressional candidates and 4 Senatorial candidates have signed on to this plan, including SMCDFA member and San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee Chair Andrew Byrnes’ father, Larry Byrnes, who is running for Congress from Florida.

Join us to learn and to enjoy our usual warm hospitality and wonderful desserts!

When: Wednesday, May 7th, at 7:00 PM

SMCDFA Endorses Resolution Peace

At our May 2007 meeting, San Mateo County Democracy for America agreed to endorse Resolution Peace and to participate in the coalition of organizations actively working to end the conflict in Iraq. Our group was one of the first groups to sign on to this statement of principle.

Resolution Peace is extremely simple, and just states:

We support legislation to:
Promptly withdraw from Iraq
Not attack Iran without Congressional approval
Take good care of the troops, veterans and their families

Join Bush, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfeld

None of them is a member of San Mateo County Democracy for America. If you have not renewed your membership, then on Thursday June 1st, you will join this ignominious group of SMCDFA non-members.

Don't do it! We want you back to continue the fight to Take Back Our Country!
