American Dream Movement Meeting Saturday Aug. 20

HERE WE GO.......LIONS HUNTING IN THE PRIDE......NO MORE CAT-HERDING 'ROUND HERE


American Dream Movement House Party Folks,


We are trying to reach out to one another....get all of us on the same page....for concerted action!


Many of you have followed up since our initial house party in various ways......by studying messaging, listening to other speakers and by getting out in the street to protest the destructive congresswoman, Marsha Blackheart.


Mary Mancini, former host of Liberadio and executive director of Tennessee Citizens Action, is a great progressive communicator, resource and leader of citizen action in Tennessee.


Mary and others are seeking to pull us together---this time, we cannot afford to be the 'house cats' that must be herded, but rather we must be the lions that hunt with the pride---by holding a follow-up meeting of coordination this Saturday Aug. 20 from 3-5 p.m.


The details from Mary are pasted below. Please come. Please contact me if you have any questions. Gary Moore 615-579-8658



We have scheduled a follow-up meeting to the earlier Rebuild the Dream meetings in Nashville for this Saturday, August 20, from 3 to 5 pm, at the Neighborhoods Resource Center. The address is 1312 3rd Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37208.

We are trying to get all the area Rebuild the American Dream meeting hosts and attendees in one place to meet one another and help answer the question, "Where do we go from here?"

Here is the tentative agenda:

• Welcome
• Rebuild the Dream Meetings Debrief (Hosts of RTD Meetings)
• Get to Know One Another Exercise (Mini One-on-Ones)
• Upcoming Actions - Goals, Strategy, Tactics
• Planning What's Next - Ideas for Building& Strenthening. How do we get stronger?
• Closing

Please email me at marymancini@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments.

Take care,

Mary

In www.StopCorporateTakeover.com today: Check out Mitt Romney---"Corporations are people, my friend"---and a great article in Wash. Post on the contradiction of radical conservatives who wear Christianity on their sleeves while acting the opposite of Christ-like by favoring wars, greed, torture, selfishness---you know, the things that Jesus was against.
