SUMMARY:September Community Forum - Congressman Bill Foster and Attorney Shawn Collins
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to the next Community Forum of the Naperville Township Democratic Organization to be held at 7:30 PM on Thursday\, September 26th at the City of Naperville Municipal Center\, 400 S. Eagle Street\, in Meeting Rooms B & C on the lower level. \nWe will hear from Congressman Bill Foster\, followed by a presentation from Naperville attorney Shawn Collins. \nShawn is a lawyer for the people against the corporations and governments that often mistreat them. \nShawn Collins and his ten member law firm has fought for over twenty years for justice and a “day in court” for those who badly need a lawyer\, but often can’t afford one. \nFor example\, Shawn has: \n* successfully argued to the Illinois Supreme Court for the rights of citizens to obtain information from their government;\n* won the dismissal of serious criminal charges which had been brought against DuPage County residents for protesting the Iraq War on a public road;\n* sued to enforce the civil rights of the developmentally disabled\, when the State of Illinois refused to fund their medical care; and\n* on behalf of over 20\,000 citizens\, won federal court orders mandating that corporate polluters clean up the water supplies and neighborhoods that they had contaminated. \nFor his legal work\, Shawn has been recognized as a “Top 100 Trial Lawyer” since 2008 by the American Trial Lawyers Association\, in addition to receiving many other awards and recognitions from his peers.

SUMMARY:DuPage Township Democratic Organization - PARADE
DESCRIPTION:EVERYONE IS FIRED UP AND READY TO MARCH!\nBOLINGBROOK’S  PATHWAYS  PARADE – SUNDAY\, SEPTEMBER 8 \nLet’s show Bolingbrook the fighting spirit of the DuPage Township Democrats during the village’s 48th annual Pathways Parade.  The parade is this Sunday\, September 8\, and its theme is Rockin & Rollin in Bolingbrook. \nSince the parade steps off at 2 pm\, our marchers will need to line up between 1 and 2 pm at Bolingbrook High School\, 365 Raider Way.  Please arrive at the high school parking lot using the Schmidt Road entrance (just east of Raider Way).  The Schmidt Road entrance will be one way on parade day and close at 1:30 pm. \nOur parade number is 66 in the pink line section.  The parade’s website — http://www.bolingbrookparade.org — provides diagrams of the high school parking lot\, parade line up and parade route. \nIf you’re unable to march in the parade\, you may ride in a Democratic parade car.  Please RSVP to Jim Kadlec (630-983-1772) for a ride. \nBy our parade numbers and enthusiasm\, Bolingbrook’s residents\, including the village’s elected officials\, will know that their Democratic Party is rockin and rollin! \nParking Suggestion — Because of limited parking at the high school\, drivers may choose to meet at the Village Hall / Town Center parking lot\, 375 Briarcliff Road\, and then carpool to the high school.  At the parade’s conclusion\, those whose cars are parked at the Village Hall / Town Center are asked to offer to drive the carpool drivers to their cars.

SUMMARY:Governor's Day at the 2013 State Fair
DESCRIPTION:The 2013 Illinois State Fair runs from August 8 through August 18.  While each day brings new events\, competitions\, and attractions\, the focus for us is Governor’s Day on August 14.  While Governor Quinn attends much of the Illinois State Fair\, this is his day to host special guests\, including former Illinois Governors\, and it’s our day to join him. \nFor those of you who have not attended\, here is an idea of what you can expect. \nTuesday\, August 13 – Many of us go down the night before.  The Illinois Democratic County Chairman’s Association (ILDCCA) gets special room rates at nearby hotels.  There are a number of receptions that day including the reception sponsored by the Democratic Collar County Chairs at the Crowne Plaza.  Some get down early and go to the Illinois State Fair. \nWednesday\, August 14 – The Governor’s Brunch is held at the Crowne Plaza hotel and begins at 8:30 AM.  If you do not come down the night before\, please allow at least 3 hours to drive down there.  The brunch features a keynote speaker and speeches by Pat Quinn\, Lisa Madigan\, Sheila Simon\, Jesse White\, Mike Madigan\, and John Cullerton.  Attendance is usually between 1\,200-1\,500. It is quite an event.  Following the brunch\, many of us go to the State Fair before heading back to DuPage.  Some stay an extra night. \nPlan  early!   Contact any NTDO officer for more information and reserve your premium table spot.

SUMMARY:Camp Wellstone
DESCRIPTION:Begun in early 2003\, Camp Wellstone (CW) is open to anyone interested in gaining practical skills in progressive political action. We train candidates\, campaign workers\, and organizers how to win progressive change. Camp Wellstones have been held in several states across the country and there are over 30\,000 Camp Wellstone alumni in all 50 states! \nDuring CW\, we provide focus areas based on your role in progressive organizing\, each with a distinctive curriculum taught by some of the nation’s leading experts in grassroots politics and organizing. We draw from Paul and Sheila Wellstone’s innovative approach to politics – something we call the Wellstone Triangle. The three elements of the triangle are: progressive public policy\, which lays out an agenda for action; grassroots community organizing\, which builds a constituency to fight for change; and grassroots electoral politics\, which provides tools for influencing policymakers and holding them accountable. \nIf you’re interested\, contact Dianne McGuire at 630-420-8502.
