Comment
According to a report back from one of the TPF boardmembers, who attended this last Saturday's Tulsa Community Business Group Political Forum, at the Aaronson Auditorium, at the downtown library (29th Sept 2012), there's some relevant news about John Olson (Dem candidate for US Congress, in OK-1 congressional district, that stretches from Tulsa to Bartlesville):
"Olson spoke out for the Affordable Care Act and against the horrible waste of taxpayer dollars in Afghanistan. He said the latter was a major motivation for him to run for Congress."
So it may have taken three years, but our message has become mainstream! TPF grassroots should give itself a pat on the back for being there first with the "Healthcare not Warfare" message, to ask politicians to question this nation's spending priorities.
Also, from the audience: One man reportedly spoke strongly against the WARS that are draining our economy. (One of the comments that got applause)
TPF is a registered non-profit organization in the State of Oklahoma, a non-partisan and non-sectarian civic sector organization, devoted to peace, social uplift, and nonviolence.
