The Feb. RPM meeting will include a variety of topics, open to general discussion about the present state of politics and activists’ direction in our area. Bring your input and opinions.
I recommend you look at a couple great items from the internet. The first is a Rolling Stone article about Obama and his base in the first year. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/31961846/no_we_cant?commentPage=4#rate I feel it has some great truths, just don’t read the idiotic reader comments. Next watch Rachel Maddow’s video on Obama’s first year. Ignore Sarah Palin in the first minute. Rachel she has some great positive information (how soon we forget the Bush Years) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyuxfHvdrGw&feature=player_embedded#
