Change? Let the elected officials do the work, I voted 11/4/08

Everyone says now is the time or we must change. The Nation must change is the cry of the day. like many others, I had not plan to put any thought into working past the election. I believe like many others IMHO that if we elect Senator Obama the work was done.

The grave reality is begging for help, the economy, the employment rates, housing and many other areas of the global economy stands ready to accept a commitment from every human being on this planet. Now how do we get to work on these issues? What can i do, i'm working on becoming a green advocate. I am separating my recyclables. Isn't that enough? My money is tight, and I'm too tired at night after work to go to meetings.

Besides winter is coming...I'll like the President elect and the congress and state reps and the city council persons earn their money, cause I pay my taxes. Hell I blog day and night isn't that enough?

Then I woke up and read my Sunday morning emails and the answer was sitting there for me to read:

Come to a Town Hall Meeting to Affirm

We Are the Change
We Need!

Monday Nov. 17, 2008
7-9 PM
First Unitarian Church
2125 Chestnut St. Philadelphia

Neighborhood Networks agrees with President-Elect Obama that we have to be the change we seek. To get universal health care, or to achieve independence from big oil, we have to be organized in the communities where we live.

Since 2005 Neighborhood Networks has organizing where we live in communities throughout Philadelphia.

On November 17 we will have a Citywide Town Hall meeting to engage everyone who participated in the Obama campaign to continue with us in building progressive infrastructure everywhere in our City.

Here's what we'll do on November 17. First we'll hear from two inspiring young Philadelphia leaders:

Maria Qunones-Sanchez, Elected to City Council in 2007
Seth Williams, former Philadelphia Inspector General

Then we'll hear Marc Stier, PA State Director, Health Care For America Now, and Carol Rogers of AFSCME District Council 47, talk about ways to work for health care for all.

Then we'll break into small groups and meet our neighbors who share our commitment to stay together and move ahead. And then, everywhere in the City we'll work to insure that the change is real.

Yes, We Can!

A Philadelphia Neighborhood Networks event.
