Mid-Michigan Democracy for America reflected its wide-ranging interest in progressive politics and policies with three key actions at its meeting tonight.
Mid-Michigan DFA not only voted unanimous support for Barack Obama, but it also -- in keeping with its strong support for grassroots activism -- endorsed progressive candidate Richard Renner for Missaukee County Commission. The organization focused attention on the upcoming presidential election, as well as local election races involving Renner, Mark Schauer, and others. More endorsements will be considered at next month's meeting on July 9th. Candidates seeking Mid-Michigan DFA's endorsement should request an endorsement application by sending an e-mail message to midmichigandfa@yahoo.com.
Additionally, Mid-Michigan DFA unanimously supported Efren Paredes, Jr.'s request for a commuted sentence or pardon from Governor Jennifer Granholm. Efren was unjustly convicted of murder when he was 15 years old and sentenced to 3 life terms. Mid-Michigan DFA will be sending an official letter to the Governor in support of Efren. Also, the group decided to donate the monthly donations collected tonight to Efren's legal defense fund. More information about this case will be posted here in the next few days.
Finally, the group decided to hold a picnic at its August meeting in East Lansing's Patriarche Park. It will be August 13, 2008. Mark your calendar. More details will follow.
