Dear Member,

Please join us for our September linkup! It's tomorrow, Wednesday, September 6th, at 7pm.
RSVP: www.dfalink.com/event.php?id=109...

This month, in addition to our usual dose of food, drink and political discussion, our agenda includes:

* David Askew update and training. David is our group member who is running a great campaign for alderman of the 2nd ward. He will be officially launching his campaign this month, and so we'll be learning how we can help by collecting petition signatures, and more. Our group has adopted the South Loop and downtown portions of the 2nd ward, and we're going to win this campaign! We helped win Wisconsin for Kerry, we damn near won the primary for Cegelis, and now it's time to win for real, and David is our guy!

* Cuahutemoc Morfin, candidate for alderman in the 25th ward, which is Pilsen. Cuahutemoc is one of the new wave of independent candidates for the City Council, and he is coming to introduce himself to our group.

* New Orleans service trip. We are now tentatively scheduled to work with Hands On New Orleans, a great organization which provides volunteers with housing and food, as well as projects of course (gutting/rebuilding housing). We're looking at the 2nd/3rd week of November for our trip, so please come tomorrow and help us finalize the plans!

* Protest this Friday! We'll have a group outing to a protest of Dennis Hastert this Friday in front of the Chicago Hilton & Towers. Mr. Hastert, in case you don't follow him, has been pro-war, anti-civil liberties, and basically one of the bad guys in Washington. Now he's hosting a $500 per plate fundraiser at the Chicago Hilton, so we'll be there along with Chicago Area CodePINK and the Chicago Coalition Against War & Racism. 5:30 this Friday.

Ok, I hope to see you at our September linkup tomorrow!
