Thats right: Its time to let Washington come to you.
ACT NOW to schedule a home-district meeting with your Member of Congress. He or she will likely be in-district during the upcoming Memorial Day recess from the end of business on May 25 until Monday, June 4. This is a critical moment on issues of war/peace and democracy and social justice. District offices are great places to meet Congress members with a small delegation of PDAers and allies. Depending on the interests of your local group, and the record of your Representative, there are many urgent issues on which PDA wants to press members of Congress, including: - Iraq/Iran/ Impeachment - Single Payer Medicare for All - Union Rights and Trade - Clean/Fair/Transparent Elections Click for a helpful memo on PDA priorities for these Congressional recess meetings (with bill numbers and status): http://pdamerica.org/articles/news/2007-05-15-16-08-39-news.php The above memo explains that when your Congress member is in-district, its also a good time to dialogue with him or her at public forums and a good time to generate local media coverage about your criticisms or approval of your Representative.
