Progressive Candidates on October Agenda

The next South of Boston DFA meeting will be on October 5th at 7 PM at Borders Books and Music in Braintree.

Candidates is the topic. Who are they? What can we offer them? What should we ask of them?

Some candidates, we'll be discussing are:

Jass Stewart - Candidate for Mayor of Brockton
Jass was selected in a Sept. 20th primary to be one of the two candidates to appear on the November 8th ballot in Brockton's mayoral race. Since November 8th is also my birthday, I would urge all those who were thinking of buying me an expensive gift to donate that money to Jass' campaign (<: Needless to say, Jass will need all the resources he can muster, financial and otherwise, to be victorious in November. Go to www.JassStewart.com or call 508-345-5518 to sign on or contribute.

Phil Dunkelbarger - Candidate for District 9 Congressional Seat
Phil is taking on Stephen Lynch in 2006. Since he will have to win the Democratic Primary next September, it is not too early to start working on this battle - and it will be a battle. We've all talked about Lynch's betrayals, now let's do something about them. Phil has some great, progressive and pro-working people ideas on his (coming soon to an Internet near you) brand new website which I will link to as soon as he sends me the domain name. He will be in France on business on the 5th, but promises to email me before the meeting. www.dunkelbargerdemocrat.org

Deval Patrick - Candidate for Governor
Deval has been working hard to meet every Democrat in Massachusetts who wants to be met. He recently won the straw poll held at the Coop 8 Trivia Night in Weymoth by a landslide. According to media reports, it's money that he needs right now. Reilly is sitting on a mega-war chest and Deval is starting to dip into his own money to set up a new headquarters and hire staff.
