Election Night Gathering at CitizenSalon

open eyes — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 05:45:14 +0000

CitizenSalon is inviting friends, family and other HOPEful people, to witness as a community, what so many people have been working hard towards, real change! However, even if Senator Obama wins and we can rest at ease that a U.S. presidential race was won without some of the unfair practices that we have witnessed in the past two elections, we will have an especially tough road ahead (as citizens supporting our elected officials) to undo all that has been “accompished” by the extremes in govermental office over the past 8 years.

Please join us from 7:00 PM until ? early if McCain acknowledges a loss quickly. Feel free to bring food and drink to share if you like. Donations will be accepted to fund a re-making of our website, and to allow us to have more events in the upcoming year.

CitizenSalon is located at ZeroStation 222 Anderson St Portland, ME 04101.
