Hello, all! Yes, it's been a while... and although we've not had occasion to send along our usual Calls to Action or updates on important issues, we of V4CF thought it would be a good time to send along a general update. So, with that in mind...
Next meeting: As announced at our recent Election Day Anniversary celebration, there will be no V4CF General Meeting scheduled in December. We'll plan to gather the group once again in early January... so please stay tuned for updates!
Healthcare Reform: The U.S. Senate's version of healthcare reform legislation is continuing to move slowly through the process. The bill does not appear to have stalled, but it doesn't appear to be the topic of action scheduled this week, either. Recent news reports state the Senate may work through the December holidays to move it forward.
As for V4CF's involvement in healthcare reform, at this point nothing has really been asked of V4CF with regard to helping reform pass the Senate. Whether this is because our Sens. Feinstein and Boxer have already stated their support for healthcare reform that includes a public option or because of other divisive issues like the Stupak Amendment remains to be seen. But, the Action Blog will keep you informed as to next steps, so again please stay tuned.
Santa's Village: Kris Arden reports our group has collected a good number of toys and other donations for the event, which begins next week. If you have any last-minute donations, please contact Kris at (559) 978-1736 or via e-mail at kkarden@yahoo.com, and she'll find a way to get 'em there.
Afghanistan, Copenhagen, Stupak, etc.: Wow, it's been a tough set of weeks for divisive issues, eh? Given that, and given the rumors we've heard about folks peeling off their Obama bumper stickers in the wake of some of these issues, we'd like to know where our members stand on these three. Got an opinion here? Please send your thoughts to V4CF via e-mail at v4cfresno@yahoo.com.
In the meantime, we're hoping that December is treating you well. Sound off, and keep Being the Change!
