Another Week, Another Blog

Hey Dems,

We wanted to thank everyone who came out to our first general meeting this past Thursday – it was great to see many new faces and to hear about what everyone would like to see happen this semester. And thank you to those who came out and helped us clean out the office; it was a mess, but it is looking pretty good now.

Anyway, a word about next week. This coming Thursday at 8:00, in Solomon 202, we will be having another general body meeting. We will discuss potential lobbying opportunities with specific progressive groups, which should be interesting, and talking about “Get Out the Vote” operations on March 4th (The RI primary).

On a final note, we want to mourn the passing of Representative Tom Lantos (D-CA) today. The only Holocaust survivor serving in the U.S. Congress, Rep. Lantos served with distinction, as Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the founder of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. His life story and resilience is an inspiration to us all.

Hope to see you Thursday,
