Chicago Alderman Joe Moore Reports In

(Joe Moore, Alderman from the 49th Ward in Chicago, is chairman of the National Democratic Municipal Officials Conference and serves on the Executive Committee of the Democratic National Committee. Joe Moore's leadership was instrumental in the passage of two Chicago City Council resolutions -- one opposing the unconsitutional provisions of the Patriot Act, and another opposing the pre-emptive use of force in Iraq.)

I am Chairman of the National Democratic Municipal Officials Conference (DMO). DMO is a organization of Democratic Mayors and City Council members from across the nation who are committed to rebuilding the Democratic Party from the grassroots up. Together with my fellow DMO officers, Councilmember Susan Burgess from Charlotte, NC, and Councilmember Myron Lowrey from Memphis, TN, I will be hosting a caucus meeting of local elected officials here at the DNC meeting. As the elected officials closest to the people, Mayors and City Council members are playing an integral role in rebuiding the party. We know first hand the devastating effect that the Bush Administration policies have had on America's cities and towns, and how urgent it is to return Democratic control to Congress and the White House.

We are also holding a Democratic Municipal Officials meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Friday, December 9th from 5-7 p.m. at the downtown Westin Hotel, Grand Ballroom. Senator John Edwards and Congressman Mel Watt will be our keynote speakers. We are hosting the meeting in conjunction with the National Leage of Cities Annual Meeting taking place in Charlotte at the same time. I urge all Democratic Mayors and City Council members to attend this important event and learn more about the important role they can play in returning our national government to the people.

Joe,
Some of the Midwest Democratic Congressmen are having town meetings on the disasters that would be created by the shutdown of the auto and machine tool sectors. These are modeled on the very successful meetings we had on Stopping Social Security Privitization which STOPPED IT DEAD in its tracks. What are your ideas on that and what are you doing to see that this kind of thing takes off VERY SOON Let me know what you are doing. Gerald Pechenuk cities12345@yahoo.com
