Local organizer Shai Sachs reports that Democracy for America Massachusetts meetups are being held in over a dozen towns throughout Massachusetts. Most meetups are at 7 pm on the first Wednesday of each month, but some (including Cambridge, North Shore, Ipswich, Sturbridge, Framingham, and Palmer) are held at different times. Meetups are a great opportunity to meet fellow progressive activists and to find out what’s going on in and how you can get involved. Recently, for example, members of the Boston, Cambridge and Northampton DFA meetup groups were involved in the special elections to replace outgoing state representatives Tom Finneran, Brian Golden and Peter Larkin; they helped get out the vote for Linda Dorcena Forry, Tim Schofield, and Rhonda Serre. In the next few months, DFA members will be gearing up for the Democratic state convention and working to protect Social Security.

Bob, if a candidate has a record offighting for equal rights under law, fiscal responsibility, affordable health care for all, investment in children, stewardship of environmental resources, and a national security policy that upholds civil liberties and works in concert with international institutions but supports civil unions with not the marriage label, would DMA serioulsy support a candidate like that?
…..institutions, but supports civil unions with not the marriage label….(sorry)
I hope they wouldn’t! It’s not like there’s a shortage of candidates that support full marriage, anyway, at least here in MASS…
So you are a one issue voter then?
