Neighborhood Roundtable
Upcoming Neighborhood Roundtable Forum: Best Opportunity for Residents to Communicate with Local Law Enforcement Agencies.

It is not everyday that residents of Springfield and Greene County have the opportunity to communicate with representatives of the Greene County Prosecutor's Office, the Greene County Sheriff's Department, the Springfield Police Department, the Missouri Highway Patrol, and Springfield Municipal Courts all at the same place and at the same time.

For those folks who would like the opportunity to do just that they are in luck because just such an event has been scheduled by the Neighborhood Roundtable.

Law Enforcement: Past, Present, and Future
What has changed in local law enforcement in the last few years? 
Where are we compared to the past and where are we going in the future?

Date: November 12, 2007 @ 7pm
Location: The Fusion Center - 1321 N. Campbell
Across the street from the main church campus on Campbell Ave.
(Grey stone building with orange front on Campbell and Calhoun)

Each Panelist will have 2-3 minutes to introduce themselves and briefly describe the role each speaker's organization or agency has in Springfield/Greene County. Following introductions, the floor will open to a moderated question and answer period. 

According to Neighborhood Roundtable Chairman Rob Brantley this tried and trusted moderated forum is a great opportunity for residents to ask those questions that may traditionally go unanswered yet at the same time provide a buffer to the panelists that protect them from potentially negative dialogue and assaultive discourse.

Community members who have attended past events have discovered that even cantankerous questions and issues can be explored through positive dialogue and discourse in a controlled environment.

To Members & Friends of the Peace Network of the Ozarks,

Another year is passing so quickly it seems. There have been so many things occurring in the war vs. peace actions this year, and it continues on both sides of ongoing efforts.

It is time to tell you about the PNO business meeting scheduled for November 7, but first, watch for the forthcoming notices as follows.

From the Mail Bag: Why bring friends to Masquerade Ball?


Great Ideas

By Press, Section Events
Posted on Tue Oct 16, 2007 at 07:38:58 AM EST

First, it's fun. How many opportunities do we have to dress in costume, eat, drink and dance with friends in an appropriately ghost-haunted castle?

Second, for issues from protecting the Supreme Court and the environment to stopping the war in Iraq and restoring medical care to children and the working poor, it's vital that Democrats sweep the 2008 elections. In Missouri, Greene County and the rest of southwest Missouri are the keys to that success.

In 2006 we elected Claire McCaskill by improving her Greene County Democratic turnout from 37% to almost 43%. According to Claire, she couldn't have achieved that victory without the organizational support of Greene County Democrats.  Maintaining that organizational structure requires money, and I can't think of a more enjoyable way to help local Democrats raise those funds.

So invite your friends and join us on October 27 at the Pythian Castle for the third annual Masquerade Ball. You will have a ball, and you will help us elect Democrats in 2008. 

Dave and Vicky Trippe

Canvassing November 3rd for DNC and MO Democrats


Great Ideas

By Press, Section Events
Posted on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 12:19:43 PM EST

Howard Dean and the DNC are promoting November 3rd as a "One Year Out" Democratic outreach day with house parties and canvasses. 

The Jay Nixon Campaign is teaming up with these events to help him and local Democrats get elected one year from now. They may be able to supply walk lists for One Year Out canvass efforts in your neck of the Missouri woods. Here for example, is the event I have set up in Fulton:

And...here is the DNC intro page to set up an event wherever you are.

Brandon Costerison is handling arrangements with the Nixon Campaign. Get in touch with Brandon to discuss the possibility of campaign materials for your canvass as well as walk lists.

There will be a conference call with Jay at 10:30 on the morning of the canvass...so they are suggesting having people gather at 10:00, canvass at 11:00, take a break for lunch and have more canvassing in the afternoon. 

Time to dust off those walkin shoes, folks.

This is an example of Gov Dean's 50 State Strategy...a winning strategy for Democrats all over the Country!

Thanks,

Bill Monroe
