Hi all,

Here are the topics we discussed during the monthly meeting:

1. Health care- new bill in committee in the House and 656 single payer headed by Senator Conner of Michigan, he is the head of the health committee

2. Economy/ Jobs- military spending

3. Human Rights- sikhs in the military are being forced to violate their religious beliefs by not allowing them to wear turbans and requiring them to cut their hair. To learn more go to sikhcoalition.org .

4. Energy- PSC does not allow for solar users to get money for the extra electricity they provide for the electrical grid according to a Times Union article. We are contacting Congressman's Tonko's office about the regulations.

5. Relocating our meeting area- Next meeting is Tentatively scheduled for Thursday May 7th 7pm-8pm at the Colonie Library. it is located right off the Northway to make it easier for more people to come to meetings.

6. Community service- Contact Tony if interested in Troy Boys and girls Club; camp clean up first weekend of June..Hamd vote counting for primaries and general election in November. Need to contact DFA.
