Activist San Diego General Meeting

 

ASD General Meeting on
THE OBAMA PHENOMENA:
WILL IT HELP OR HINDER
THE BUILDING OF A LEFT-PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT?
Monday June 9th, @ 7 PM

It seems that in each election many progressives pour themselves into the electoral arena in hopes of changing the system or at least changing the outcome of the election. When the election is over, we wonder if it was worth it. This year, perhaps more than others, there is a desperate sense that the political system needs an overhaul. Over the last 8 years, our government has reeled out of control, seemingly more than ever in modern times. Since surviving another 8 years of the same could be devastating to people in this country and all over the world, many progressives are left hoping for a candidate to bail us out. Obama seems to have won that spot. Is this thought crazy or realistic?

ASD's next general meeting promises to engage you (in a non-partisan manner) to think deeply about the Obama phenomena. ASD cannot and will not endorse a candidate, but we definitely want to create a time and place to bring people together as a way of stimulating conscious consideration of the many positive and negative consequences of the Obama candidacy in a safe and democratic atmosphere.

WARNING; This is not a panel discussion. We promise an interactive, fun exercise to draw out many points of view on this topic. We want this to be an open democratic discussion where your opinions will be heard and you can see the influence you have on swaying others.

There will also be some updates on the Stop Blackwater campaign, the HOT news about the ASD FM radio station application, LA Social Forum and ASD's internal organizing efforts.


Blackwater won a victory in Federal Court in San Diego.
We helped stop them in Potrero, we can do it again.
Come hear from those who have been involved.
