Grass Roots Organizing Group

Those of us who live abroad follow the events in America closely. The recent Supreme Court decision (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-205.pdf) regarding campaign finance law struck a chord with me. It felt like it was a further sell out of democracy. It’s critical for all of us who believe in bringing about “real change in America” to become active. Democrats Abroad Sweden is setting up a grass roots support group to support the goals of President Obama.

We have tools available to us on the internet (for example take a look at the Organizing for America blog recently set up for this purpose –http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/sarahhollister , through phone banks, calling our Senators and Representatives and the White House, writing letters and informing others about ways to become involved.

If you are interested in grass roots organizing here in Sweden, please join us at Tully’s Cafe (Götgatan 42) on Wednesday, February 17 at 6:00 pm.
