The holiday season is here!!! I know most are bust this time of year, but take time out to rise a glass and spirits together this Wednesday one last time before the New Year. Christmas Eve falls on one of our DL nights; therefore, we will not meet that night. We will resume on the second Wednesday of the New Year.

We have a lot of exciting events coming up as well as anticipated changes in the relationship with government and business and how they operate. These will be some interesting changes. There should be some good discussion about the implications of these adjustments at the ground level, aka us little folks. So....jump into your private jet, or very large and gas gouging SUV, and zip down to Fat Boy's in Milford this Wednesday at 6:30 PM for your handout of liberal wisdom.
Liberally Seasoned Greetings

It is our regular night to meet; however, I realize this is also a busy night for many so it may be rather quiet. Whether you show up or not, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. This is a nice opportunity to reflect on the things in our lives we can be grateful for. We can all get caught up with complaining and often forget about what is working, and how much we truely have.

To positive thinking,
Christine Crean

If you think that it's all over, think again. Democracy does not stop when the election is over, and our involvement should not stop either. That said, I look forward to seeing all you "political junkies" tomorrow night. This will be a chance to debrief and decompress.

For those who could not make the election night party, you missed a good time. In the words of my daughter who was able to join us, "it felt like a superbowl party".

Come on down tomorrow night and join us in the celebration of democracy and a chance to voice your opinions and feeling about what goes on in our government!!!

From one junkie to another,
Christine

A reminder that DL will have a election night party at Fat Boy's. We have a number of new people on the Milford DL list. So, at the risk of being redundant, I will go over some of the basic tenants of drinking liberally and our get together.

First, drinking liberally (DL) does not endorse candidates or issues. We offer a forum for candidates to come talk, meet and listen. We also provide a place for anyone to bring there issues, ideas and positions on topics. DL as an entity does not take a position on these things. DL is not affiliated with any political party, thought many of us individually are.

The nights we get together are the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, from 6:30 PM to when ever one wants to leave. We don't take attendance nor do we collect dues. People are responsible for their own drinks, food, etc. We don't "buy rounds".

This is a chance for like minded people to get together to discuss topics and events that impact our lives and communities. It is an opportunity to keep democracy active and vital by keeping people involved,; and not just when there is an election. Nuff said....

So come on down to Fat Boy's This coming Tues, or any other time we meet for DL.. Remember, Democracy is all of us and the end of the election is really just the beginning.
visit the DL site and look at what is going on at the Milford Chapter or any others at drinkingliberally.org.
See you there,
Christine

Well the week has been very turbulent. The Red Sox lost to an upstart team and Colin Powell has endorsed Obama. I don't think the world is coming to an end but things have been shaken up. That's all right, it keeps the blood flowing and, hopefully, makes us pay attention.

Come on down tomorrow night to Fat Boy's and share your feelings about what is happening in your world. Remember, we only have a couple of more weeks before the election. I hope everyone will be voting on November 4th. If you do not vote, then you have no right to complain about the government.

Hope to see you there...
