Member,

On Saturday, many of us in Northern Virginia will
participate in the 50-State Canvass project to tell our
neighbors what Democrats stand for, with events across our
region nicely summarized by Edrie on our blog:

www.dfalink.com/blog_post.php?id...

After you've canvassed that morning or early afternoon, you
can watch and discuss "Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the
Iraq War" at the GMU Fairfax campus (see item 3 below).

There's a Save Darfur Rally to Stop Genocide Sunday
afternoon:
