The Manassas Spring Forward Democratic April Meeting

Hi Friends,

PLEASE NOTE NEW TIME. First half we'll talk about the upcoming Virginina Convention and how you can get involved.

It's BUDGET TIME! Yes, our state and local governments are looking over the decreasing funds and deciding how to utilize what's left. What do you think? Where should the money be spent? Is our money being managed wisely? What cuts would you recommend? Are you willing to pay more taxes? Will the Economic Stimulus help?

Do you think we are already in a recession? Is the $338 Million a day we spend on the war the cause of our country's economic decline. How will borrowing $343 million a day to finance the war affect our economy? How will it affect your children's future?

Here are some articles to check out:

Join us and let's talk about our future.

I HAVE WARNER PETITIONS. We need signatures to get Mark Warner on the ballot for Senator. You can sign at the MeetUp. But we need help getting Mark on the ballot and getting Mark elected. Sign up to volunteer for '08!

I look forward to seeing you there. Please contact me for more information. We've got more excitement coming.

Best Regards,
EJ
