Where: Keweenaw Brewing Company, downtown Houghton

Three cheers for progressive politics and liberal libations! Several of you were at the house last Tuesday and got to participate in a little celebration. Cheers to the Houghton County Dems and all that helped out with the various campaigns (Obama, Levin, Stupak, Lahti, Wisti, etc.) here in Houghton. We applaud all your hard work.

Let's all keep in mind that the work is not over. I have hope for this presidential administration, but feel that the people that got him there have a duty to hold him to campaign promises and ensure that we continue to be heard in the political process, not just every 4 years.

As such, I propose we, as a group, formulate what we'd like to see post-inauguration. What are our priorities for this presidency? For this congress? Shall we work to restore civil liberties? Shall we drill here and now? Shall we dance?

Bring your ideas for a reform package this Thursday at 8 pm to KBC. I'd like to draft a letter and send it off to president-elect Obama from the Houghton, MI chapter of Drinking Liberally. Who knows if he'll see it, but it can't hurt to put our 2 cents in the political piggy bank and see how far it goes.

See you Thursday,
Jeremy
