LAST MEETING 2012

Here is an update on the last meeting of 2012:

We had a great event on Thursday. After receiving several messages from people who were not going to be able to make it to the event. I thought that because of the holidays, we would only have a couple of people show up. However, it turned out to be a nice size group. Some brought chips and dip, along with the popcorn and drinks (from our Republican friend)... we all had an enjoyable evening. The movies were good and the comments and the conversations were outstanding. A couple of members talked about two organizations that we should look at and support. (1) FreeCommunityHelpers.com  (2) SavetheManatee.org. Both organizations look to be excellent causes that we should be willing to support. I recommend everyone take a few minutes and check them out. We talked about our web-site, with our new local tab. This is for our members who have small business (approved by the board), so that we can support one another when we need such services. Also talked of our election for the board in January and our need for a secretary to replace Susan, whom said that she can not continue this coming year. We have one person interested, but needs to check her schedule before confirming her name for the position.

Again, it was a great social, net-working, educational and enjoyable event. This is our purpose, to grow and spread the Progressive influences throughout our community.

Reminder that our events will now be on the last Tuesday of every month. Next meeting will be January 29th, 2013 at 6:15 pm. Please come early, and socialize as we are setting up at 6:00pm. We do need to start at 6:15pm because we need to be finished and out by 8:00pm. 

Thanks to all supporting Progressives that make our organization possible.

A good New Years Resolution, to help take back our country for our children and future.

All the best to everyone in the New Year and hope to see you at our January Event.

Your president,

John Debus

A HURRICANE CAN'T STOP US

TCPA held its third meeting last night. With the off-shore approach of Hurricane Sandy, the weather may have been gloomy, but the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits and the wind couldn’t extinguish our hope – that we can be a force for positive change.

            We talked about Alec, the American Legislative Exchange Council that is a conglomerate of large companies. These companies write sample laws they would like enacted and which legislative members submit as their own. Since July, when Alec came into public view, 29 corporations have left the conglomerate (including: Coca Cola, Pepsi, BCBS, Amazon, P&G, Dell, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation). We would like to pressure Publix to do the same.

            We watched the short movie Unequal Justice: The Relentless Rise of the One Percent Courts, which was about the push to repeal the Supreme Court’s ruling on ‘Citizen’s United’. Corporations exist for one reason and that is to make a profit. They are using this profit to buy elections. They have no mortality and no morals. Corporations are not people. Corporate money is not free speech. To learn more, visit the Move to Amend website and sign their petition.

            Hope to see you at the next meeting, which is the fourth Thursday of November.
