[ACDP-Announce] Events

[Fred Hudson]

Saturday, July 19th:    We had about 20 folks out in the four magisterial districts selected for voter id and it was a very good event.  I thank all those who were out, and you all did some real good yesterday.  We have an objective this year, and I certainly hope you can come out next Saturday (26th) and join us in this very important effort.  We can make a difference, but how much we get done is the critical point, and the urgent one, I might add.  More on this later. . . 

Monday, July 21sth:   The following is a message by a non-partisan group concerning a meeting about the foreign policy of the Bush administration.   The group is organizing the meeting, and the sponsors of the meeting are listed below.  The ACDP is not a sponsor, but the issue is of such importance this year that to not cooperate in sending out the notice of the meeting somehow does not seem like the right thing to do.  Some of the recipients of this note will certainly be interested, and some will not.  In any event, I hope you find the notice helpful.    Please direct any questions to the resources below.  The information is as follows and was provided to me by the sponsors of the event. . . . .
