| I'm active with the DFL in senate district 62, which is the southeastern part of south Minneapolis. We try to stay active outside of campaign season (what, campaign season isn't permanent these days?) To that end we're hosting an issue forum which we hope will be just our first, and we're starting out with health insurance reform, focusing on single-payer.
Panelists include Rep. Keith Ellison, State Sen. John Marty, and single-payer advocates Elizabeth Frost and Kip Sullivan. Don't know what "single-payer" means? Or you know, but don't know what's going on with reform efforts in Congress and the state legislature?
This is being held at the CWA hall at 35th Av. and Lake St. in Minneapolis on Saturday, February 21, from 2:00-4:00.
Forums on other issues are as yet a glimmer in our minds' eyes, but we hope you'll come and help us off to a good start, as well as educate yourself on one of the biggest issues of the day.
Feel free to contact me (Eric Ferguson, eric at celticfringe.net) for more info. Also check the SD62 web site, http://www.sd62dfl.org. Joe was nice enough to add it to the calendar, http://www.mnprogressiveprojec... |
