Upcoming meeting: June 8th - location TBA

Kudos to Brushfire folks and all who engaged in the political process!  District 6 voter turnout went from 11.53% in the last primary (a presidential election year!) to 24.37% in an off-year primary.  Our goal was to increase voter participation...so this can be chalked up as a win regardless of how individual candidates did!
Princeton, Troy and Deary ran out of ballots and needed more sent out.  (Not to worry, no one was turned away and everyone had opportunity to cast a vote.)

Way to make a difference, folks!

 Karen is back from the campaign trail and will be with us again - hurray! She'll have lots to share about the political process state-wide. 

Besides discussing the recent elections, we have two special presentations lined up:

  • Ken Hunt (Lt. Colonel retired) - sharing about Warrior's Promise, a non-profit support organization for our men and women in uniform.   http://www.warriorspromise.org/
  • Representatives from local radio stations -  to discuss the "Fairness Doctrine" and the impact it will have on first amendment freedoms. 
Email with meeting location details will be going out as soon as we can make reservations - there was no answer on Friday (probably due to the long holiday weekend).

for liberty,
Paula B. /  Karen C.
