MoveOn.org is helping to organize vigils across the county this evening (August 17) in solidarity with Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a young man killed in Iraq who is camped out in Crawford, Texas, and doing so much to focus the nation's attention on the tragedy of the war.

You can learn more about Cindy's efforts at MeetWithCindy.org and then visit MoveOn.org to sign up for a vigil.

Join me in demanding the truth—and an end to the war—by organizing vigils across the country, before one more mother's child is lost."

Wake Progressive Democrats' August meeting this Saturday, August 20th, at the NCATL building located at 1312 Annapolis. I am happy to announce we are going to meet at 6:00pmand have a potluck dinner! So many of you have requested trying something different (aka anything other than Saturday morning) and so the Executive Committee figured we would try an evening meeting...and some good home cooking! Please RSVP and let me know what you intend to bring, so I can fill any holes in our dinner lineup. Joining us (I hope) will be newly elected PDNC president, Mac Whatley. Mac has some other meetings in town and hopes to break away and join us for part of the evening. I look forward to seeing all of you Saturday night, PJ Puryear President, Wake County Progressive Democrats pj@greendogs.org
