MoveOn.org meeting re-cap, healthcare, clean energy and more
Thank you to the core members who attended this evening's Eugene-Springfield MoveOn.org Council meeting with Ruth, our Regional Coordinator from Portland and Jason, our Regional Field Organizer from Denver.
Apologies ahead of time for any typos; my vitals are being taken -- it's almost as difficult to type as it's been this past hour to breathe!
As I sit here in the hospital, breathing in-and-out on an Albuterol nebulizer, my thoughts are serendipitously on the upcoming health care reform battle and the tremendous amount of worthwhile work our local MoveOn.org council will do in the months to come.
First and foremost, however, we are tackling the clean energy issue with aplomb. Last week's Clean Energy Jobs Day was a great success.
*You can view video of the event here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhYVBvx27Gw
Moving forward, our Eugene-Springfield group will host an end-of-the month rally (June 30-July2?) in which we will invite our U.S. Congressman as the featured guest speaker on clean energy reform/green job creation. Also, expect a full-council meeting on or before Sunday, June 14 at Cozmic Pizza to properly prepare for the upcoming event.
A few final items (and, yes, this Darth Vader-like breathing thing actually seems to be working):
1. Please actively recruit new members (friends, family, colleagues) to join our MoveOn Council. Ask your buddies to visit the following link:

2. Our RFO suggested I ask you to help support my efforts to secure a Democracy for America scholarship to attend this summer's Netroots Nation on-line organizers/political bloggers convention in Pittsburgh. If you'd like to add you voice of support it's greatly appreciated! Voting ends this week and the link to support yours truly is:

(Thank you!)
3. Speaking of opportunities for training that will benefit progressive candidates and causes, the folks who presented Camp Obama are launching Camp MoveOn in mid-July in Denver, CO. This is an unique opportunity for our team to receive some dynamite training. Please e-mail for more info. The link to apply is:

4. Finally, for info on our local MoveOn Council's activity, please visit www.MoveOn.org/team.
Thanks!
Matt
