They're talking about YOU!

Members,

Our community faces a local crisis and we're on the forefront fighting it!

We have spearheaded efforts that have registered more young people to vote than ever before! Our Rock the Vote "Save the Music" event was a huge success.

We have been fighting to vote "NO" on the bar ban that seeks to hurt our local economy, destroy our local music scene, and inadvertently increase underage drinking by causing a surge in house parties. There is a huge hole in the DWI Task Force's "safety net" to prevent underage drinking... that hole is called a house party.

Over the past few weeks SWMO DFA has appeared in the NewsLeader, GO Magazine, all local news networks, radio stations, and even debated with radical conservative Vincent Jericho. Now they're talking about us!

As we fight for the rights of young people and strive to keep government out of small businesses and individual rights, some people with political power have taken aim at us. You see, these are the very people that trust 18-20yr olds to own a gun, get married, sign contracts, vote for the president of the free world, and fight and die for our country -- but they do not trust 18-20 yr olds to go to a bar or nightclub where they can see their favorite band in a safe environment.

As SWMO DFA has stepped up to the plate to save our local music scene and downtown businesses that our TAX DOLLARS have been going to rebuild; Greene County Deputy Sheriff today told a group of 8th graders he was presenting to that sthe president of SWMO DFA "was a very bad influence." He was talking about YOU. He was talking about how you helped register a record number of young people to vote. He was taling about how you took a stand for what's right. Now he's trying to slander what we have done, but lets not let him!

Be watching for our internet campaign blitz. If you want to donate money in anyway and help us continue to get young people to the polls send a check to:

Peace & Unity,
