DFA/DFNM Meetups Today

The last Meetups before the election are scheduled for tonight at 7PM. Click here to get more information or to RSVP. Only 26 days until the election!

At Albuquerque's Page One Bookstore, we'll be hearing a report on how Democrats can be effective against the right-wing Republicans and discussing opportunities for volunteering at local groups and campaigns. We'll also hear about an event hosted by the NM Alliance for the International Criminal Court on October 18th at UNM where DFNM will be tabling. We believe the Meetup will be relatively short and we plan to gather afterwards at the nearby Flying Star to share some desserts and generally chew the fat, political or not.

Mona Blaber reports that the Democracy for Santa Fe Meetup will be short, sweet and action-oriented:

• Write letters to New Mexicans who are undecided about their choice in the presidential election
  
• Distribute some key facts about voter identification and other voting issues
  
• Plan for Election Day and Election Weekend
  
• Offer a variety of opportunities to put our noses to the grindstone over the next month to elect a new president!
  

There's been a venue change from the St. Francis Hotel to the back room of the Kerry-Edwards/County Dems headquarters, 947 W. Alameda in the Solana Center.

I see at the Meetup page for NM that there are also DFA groups in Farmington, Roswell, Las Cruces and Carlsbad, but I don't know how active they are. If anyone out there is a member of these groups or any other DFA Meetup in New Mexico, please let us know you're out there by posting a comment here!
