We'll have a relaxed, mostly social gathering this time: a potluck, with no particular agenda other than tossing around ideas for the coming year. What would you like to see PHDC get involved with in 2010? Look at our web site home page and scroll down for a review of past meeting topics. Please bring any suggestions - and food or drink - to share.

HEALTHCARE ACTIVISM ALERT: CALL SENATORS
Members of all CA Democratic clubs: "create a loud chorus"

Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club in Oakland is asking us to call Senators Boxer and Feinstein, ideally before Thanksgiving, in order to create a loud chorus of Democratic Party activist voices supporting medicare for all and opposing limitations on reproductive rights.

I think this is a great idea and I hope you do too. The senators depend on us to support their campaigns - we are the foot soldiers of the Democratic Party and we matter to them. Can you make two calls or write two letters? Please click here for a sample script, with contact info, that you can use to make your calls. Thanks!
