Hosts First “Shared Prosperity” Town Hall Meeting
In Wood County
Monday July, 23 at 6PM
West Virginians United, a coalition of progressive West Virginia organizations is holding the first of several state-wide community town hall style meetings at the Parkersburg City Building on Monday July, 23 at 6PM.
The meetings are designed to promote their “Agenda for a Shared Prosperity” – a set of values and policy proposals to strengthen the middle class while creating the conditions necessary for more families to realize the “American Dream”.
Speakers will outline the basic agenda with brief comments and then open the discussion up to the community members attending. These discussion topics are: Health Care Reform – making health care affordable and assessable to all West Virginians; Cost of War – connecting the extreme costs of the conflict in Iraq to the cuts in spending for education, housing, social services and other domestic spending right in the Mid-Ohio Valley; Justice in the Workplace – how workplace issues affect quality of life; and Economic Fairness – how public policy can level the playing field and work toward a shared prosperity.

Newest Column from Tony Russell
The newest column, "The Floodwall," is posted on the blogsite, http://readtonyrussell.blogspot.com. This one isn't humorous; it's a look at glaring discrepancies in thoughts about Iraq . As always, I love to get your feedback. It helps me realize that people actually read the columns. All the best - Tony
