Just got back from the meeting!
First off, wanted to thank all the people who made it to Silliman Center for the meeting with Congressman Pete Stark. It was wonderful to put faces on people with whom you exchange advise (and barbs at times), become friends with, but can never ever really meet.
I am also glad that the group of people I met were all enthusiastic participants and each of them bought a unique idea/focus into the conversation/meeting.
So a round of applause for the people who stepped up to make a difference, their names are:
Kashmir
Jeremy_Polka
Karma_Yoga
Desi_Mazdur
BCIS_Sux
Rk4GC
RM_CSC
Kadamtal
Pathapati

Unfortunately Congressman Pete Stark was unable to attend, due to delays in the vote in Washington (Medicare bill), but we did have the opportunity to speak with people from his district staff:
Ms. Gaye Hyde, and we also got an opportunity to discuss future courses of action.
We do hope that more forum members in the bay area and beyond, make it a point to attend town meetings and send petitions to their congressman and other representatives.
I will be posting the minutes of the meeting here soon, so please check back later.
