Bob Roggio on the Environment

The Bush administration has ignored the imminent threat posed by Global Warming. I believe that America should lead the global fight against this environmental peril. We need aggressive domestic policy to reverse the devastating trends, and must cooperate and lead on the international stage. Clean air, water, and the preservation of our natural environment must become a priority. We all share the responsibility of protecting our environment for the future generations.

Obama Excitement

About 250 people showed up tonight in West Chester at the opening of an Obama campaign office. Former Senator Harris Wofford spoke and gave some historical perspective.

The Obama campaign is bringing new voters, independents, and some Republicans to our party. We should welcome them and keep them active for the long term. During the excitement we should be recruiting block captains and volunteers.

Remember - March 24th is the deadline to postmark a registration. You can download and print the form from our blog.

March 24th Deadline

Anyone who wants to vote for Clinton or Obama in the PA Primary on April 22nd must be a registered Democrat by March 24th.

There are many people, unregistered, or, registered other than Democrat, who would like to do this. Please let them know about this deadline.

Bob Roggio on Iraq

The war in Iraq was a mistake. Over the past 6 years, almost 4,000 brave troops have been killed, and close to 20,000 more injured. We have spent hundreds of billions of dollars, while ignoring the very real domestic needs of our country. President Bush continues to ask for more money, and more troops, but has no new ideas to win the peace. I will fight to end this war, and bring our troops home responsibly, and with
honor. - Bob Roggio

Films That Make You Think

FTMYT - Films That Make You Think! The Chester County film and discussion group that meets monthly to view and discuss films about current issues of justice, peace and sustainability.

All films are at Grove United Methodist Church, 490 West Boot Road, West Chester, PA 19380. They start at 7:00 pm.

Remaining films for this season:

Outfoxed on March 18 Examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know, including their influence on elections. 77 min. Discussion will be led by Dr. Philip Thompsen, media expert and professor of communications at West Chester University.

China Blue on April 8 Follows the production of a pair of blue jeans from the cotton fields to the store, using hidden cameras to expose the truth about where our clothing comes from. 88 min.

Theologians Under Hitler on May 5 "During the darkest days of the 20th century, three of the church's greatest teachers - Paul Althaus, Gerhard Kittel, and Emanuel Hirsch - gave their full support and allegiance to Adolf Hitler," says the narrator at the beginning. This program will examine their stories in an attempt to discover what went wrong. 64 min.

More voters registering as Dems

According to numbers released by Chester County Voter Services last week, 2,108 new Democrats have been added to the county’s voter roles since Jan. 1, 2008, as compared with just 495 new Republicans and 453 new independents during the same time period.

Block captains... you can download a registration form via the link on the right. Talk to your independents and see if they want to vote in our primary.

Money corrupts politics

George Monbiot spells it out. Big money controls a great deal of our democratic process.

That is why we need block captains and email addresses. Last week we added four names to our email list. With an electronic network, we can cut down on phoning, TV, and mailing. These expensive techniques require extensive fundraising. Fundraising puts the voter in a passive role and makes the candidates vulnerable to big money control.

If you want to get the money out... get the people in. We will be canvassing again soon. Join us.
