JANUARY 2014 MEETING

from John Debus

Hi everyone,

This is a reminder of our next event. Tuesday January 28, 2014 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the

American Legion Post #40, 810 S. US 1, Fort Pierce, FL. 34950. Please use the front entrance

(on US1). It is the large room on the right side as you come in the front door. Plenty of

parking is on the side of the building. We have water and Green Tea available for free, or you can

purchase drinks from the bar in the next room.

This month we will be showing the new video from Move To Amend, "Legalize Democracy".

The issue of getting the money influence out of our political system is the number one issue.

It leads to all the other problems in our country. As the anniversary of "Citizens United vs. FEC"

passes, we need to reflect on Corporate Personhood, Money as Free Speech and how it affects

our Democracy. Do you care? Does the American people care? Is the country asleep?

Come  watch, listen, add your opinion and help answer these questions and decide on what we

should do to take back our country.

The MLK Parade in Fort Pierce was a great success. Thanks to all you wonderful people who

came, walked with us behind the TCPA banner, and handed out the flyers and cards. We really

had a great time with all the good people of Fort Pierce. Dr. King was one of the greatest leaders

of the Progressive Movement in history. I, myself, cannot think of anyone who has done more

in the history of our country.

The Clean Water Rallies were also successful. Again I like to thank all who came out to the

different sites in support of the Floridian's Clean Water Declaration. We will be taking the signed

declarations to Tallahassee in February. So if you haven't signed it yet, please come on out to our

event. We will have them there. They are trying to get a bus to take us to Tallahassee and as soon

as I have more information, I will past it along. If interested please let me know ASAP.

The NO KXL group met at Richard's house on Saturday. The plans for the Big Action Protest,

are coming together very nicely. We are still waiting for the State Department to make a decision.

We have room for others to join this action if you want to do something about Keystone XL.

Please contact Richard, myself, or reply by e-mail.

The action table at our event is set up for group's information, sign-up sheets, upcoming

events, and petitions. All groups will also have 1-3 minutes at the beginning to tell us

about themselves. You can also contact Kathy or myself to have your events posted

on our web-site happenings page.

Please come out! We need your support to make a difference. Be a part of the experience.

We also would like your feedback on our events and organization. So feel free to

respond to this e-mail. CHECK OUT OUR WEB-SITE;  tcprogressivealliance.com

Check often as many events are posted late with little notice. We post as soon as we

get them. Also check out our blog where many interesting articles and information are posted often.

Thanks for your support,

Take care,

See you Tuesday,

John
