Dear Queens DFA Meetup Group,

There is a great forum in Queens tonight:

Thursday, May 15 2008 at 7PM
All Saints Church in Sunnyside, Queens
43-12 46th St, Sunnyside, NY 11104 - #7 local train to 46th St

DFNYC (local DFA group), West Queens Independent Democratic Club and Citizen Action of NY Invite you to a Panel Discussion:

Clean Elections and the Movements for Social Justice

CLEAN ELECTIONS PUTS POWER BACK WHERE IT BELONGS: IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE

All of the movements for social justice are dramatically affected by the influence of private money in our elections.

Panel Discussion will Include:

The Fight for Universal Healthcare through Clean Elections
Clean Elections: A Civil Rights Necessity
Power and the Rent Wars: Why Are Tenants Losing?
Clean Elections Here and Now
Why Full Public Financing of Elections?

Clean Money/Clean Elections is a full-public financing system for election campaigns under which candidates who agree to limit spending, not take any private interest money, and collect only a limited number of small, individual contributions from their constituents, can qualify for a set amount of public funds to run their campaigns.

Clean Elections levels the playing field, focuses on the needs and interests of the voters, and is a common-sense solution to restoring democracy.

Join us! For further information, and to RSVP, please contact Citizen Action of NY at [masked], ext 43, [address removed].
