President Obama said in his first State of the Union: JUST SAYING "NO" TO EVERYTHING MAY BE GOOD SHORT TERM POLITICS, BUT IT'S NOT LEADERSHIP. WE WERE SENT HERE TO SERVE OUR CITIZENS, NOT OUR AMBITIONS." I depart this Grassroots! site hoping to serve my incredible town of Santa Fe by marshalling volunteers to engage in community-strengthening activities.

HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED.
Thanks to all of you who came to the 8/24/09 Grassroots4PublicOption meeting. We had well over 60 people attend and we did what we set out to do – get concerned people activated!!
We discussed upcoming events of interest...long-since over.
We talked about how to contact "Blue Dog Democrats” in the Senate and House to encourage them to support a public option as part of health care reform. CLICK HERE
We urged volunteers to join the healthcare reform activities of other organizations, too! CLICK
And, the biggest decision of the night, we all agreed to do the March 4 Healthcare! CLICK HERE FOR THE LEAD STORY.
