Democratic/Obama Platform Meeting

Agenda:

Mary Ellen Blanchard is opening her home to host Listening to America: Democratic Platform for Change.

“The platform is an official statement of the Democratic Party’s position on issues. Each statement of policy is called a ‘plank’ in the platform. Traditionally, the process of developing this platform is run by political insiders in Washington. This time we’re doing it differently. These Platform Meetings all across America are the bottoms-up process to generate ideas and information that may be directly incorporated into the platform. Reports from these meetings will be reviewed by the team responsible for the Democratic Platform. Some will be incorporated into the final platform, ratified at the Democratic National Convention.”

So please come with your platform ideas.

We'll all be pitching in some cash to buy some pizzas and drinks.
