Change is Coming House Meeting, Brandon, VT, December 13, 2008

We had five attendees and made plans for two events:

1. We are going to set up an "Obama" booth at the First Night Celebration on New Year's Eve in Rutland, VT and ask people to submit their opinions as well as make them aware of Change.Gov and the willingness of the Obama administration to solicit and implement the changes expressed through that website. Our group name is Rutland County Citizens for Change, which Brandon for VT has morphed into.

2. We plan to hold a forum and ask local representatives to discuss integrity and accountability in government and our ability to influence change in government.

a. We will invite new members to get in touch with us and hold a meeting to discuss the forum, assign tasks, and set up volunteer schedules.

b. We will invite the local representatives and ask them to commit to coming.

c. Once we have the forum in place, we will do free advertising as a nonprofit community event on 211 (a Vermont state toll-free call-in line that people can call and find out about services), local radio stations, local TV stations, Rutland-area newspapers, email, O-mail, word of mouth, and also by distributing and hanging up fliers at local community buildings, such as the library, schools, medical center, grocery stores, senior citizen centers, theaters, art centers, etc.
