administration in Washington, DC.</P><B><U>
<P>Monday, December 22, at 7 PM,</B></U> the group invites people to gather at
the 1912 Center Great Room for two hours of discussion on the specifics of what
people in Latah County want the new administration and Congress to do on the
major issues facing the country. The opinions and ideas gathered will be
forwarded to President Obama’s transition team, the Idaho Congressional
delegation and to Governor Otter.</P>
<P>Judy Brown, Aly Lamar, Nancy Nelson and Linda Pall are the organizers of this
meeting, being held at the same time as house parties are being held across the
country to solicit this information. Community resource people are being invited
to participate as are facilitators for each of the small group issue discussions
to be conducted. </P>
<P>The subjects being discussed at the meeting are: 1. Revitalizing the economy
(what should the stimulus package look like?); 2. Ending the War in Iraq; 3.
Providing Health Care; 4. Protecting America; 5. Renewing American Global
Leadership; and 6. Insuring Global Environmental Health.</P>
<P>"We don’t want a dress rehearsal, we’re asking for a real economic recovery
plan and real action on issues important to Latah County," said Judy Brown. She
emphasized that people of every party or no party were equally welcome at this
town meeting format gathering. "Too many people are losing their jobs, homes and
health care. Too many are in danger of it. These are not Republican or
Democratic issues, they are American issues. The time has run out for political
posturing. We need our leaders to lead."</P>
