Tri Town Meeting Feb 9th, 7 PM-Guest Speaker Olivia Zink, from Open Democracy


Update:

Hi folks,

In lieu of the weather predictions for tomorrow, we think it wise to cancel our TriTown Dems Meeting on Thursday, February 9. 

We will email out the agenda with some notes and have a few questions for you, so you won't be totally off the hook for participation and sharing of ideas!  But we do want everyone to be safe from driving in the predicted, and sometimes unpredictable, weather.

As we are developing that agenda and notes to share, please send me any items or notes you would like to be included for either notice or discussion. 

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. 

Stay safe in the storm.


Our next scheduled meeting will be on February 9th, at 7:00 PM in Milton at the Emma Ramsey Center. Our speaker will be Olivia Zink, from Open Democracy. She will speak about voting rights and campaign finance reform.

About Open Democracy:

Founded in 2009 by renowned reformer Doris “Granny D” Haddock (1910-2010), Open Democracy is leading the New Hampshire movement to strengthen democracy and stop the corrupting influence of special interest money in politics. Over the past five years, we have educated and engaged thousands of New Hampshire citizens through nonpartisan grassroots campaigns, film and theatrical events, a national speaker series, research and publications, and local and state advocacy initiatives. In 2014, we partnered with citizens in 52 New Hampshire towns to pass warrant articles calling for an end to corporate and union spending in political campaigns under Citizens United.

Tell Cataldo -Support SEA Workers Aug 18th Rochester Library


Tell Sam Cataldo -Support SEA Workers- Tues Aug 18th Rochester Library 5-6PM

You are invited to meet with NH Senator Sam Cataldo (NH Senate District 6, comprising Alton, Barnstead, Farmington, Gilmanton, New Durham and Rochester) to discuss with him the funding of the Executive Branch contract. Currently, the contract has not been funded in the budget proposals put forward by the NH Legislature. Without funding, the contract negotiated in good faith by SEA members and the Office of the Governor cannot be put into effect, potentially delaying any cost of living adjustments and other contractual gains.

Senator Cataldo needs to hear from his constituents. You are being invited because your voice is important to this conversation and you live in Senator Cataldo's district. Please plan to attend – have a conversation with Senator Cataldo and help us to persuade him to fund SEA contracts.

Details

What: Meeting with Senator Cataldo regarding the funding of the State Employees’ contract (Executive Branch, although Judicial Branch employees should understand that the COLA adjustment and health benefits are part of the Judicial Branch contract as well.)

Where: Rochester Public Library, Community Room, 65 South Main Street
When: Tuesday, August 18, 2015
Time: 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.

This is a great opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation with your senator and to let him know how you feel about the state budget and the funding for SEA contracts. We believe that if Senator Cataldo hears from you next Tuesday it will make a significant impact on his decision.
