6:45 pmto8:30 pm

Our March meeting will feature Liz Wally of Clean Elections Texas.

“Imagine real democracy: a responsive government of, by and for the people. We can have true representation, rather than governance by those with the most money. Learn how you can bring publicly financed political campaigns to Texas. Where is this already being done? Is it popular? How is it paid for? Is it constitutional? Just how does it work for the voter and for the candidate?

“You’ll be surprised and excited with the answers to these questions. This is a non-partisan issue, since all citizens want to have a chance to be heard over the noise of those who pay for politicians.”

Preston Ridge Campus of Collin College, 9700 Wade Blvd., Frisco, Texas, Founders Hall, Shawnee Room F148. Click for detailed maps.

Gather at 6:45, call to order at 7:00pm.

This past Monday, TDWCC hosted Michael Messer and Leesa Monroe of the organization Save Texas Schools. We were treated to a very informative program into the frustrating reality of the public education budget cuts enacted in 2011. Leesa Monroe, who is the Assistant Principal of an Arlington-area junior high, demonstrated exactly how the cuts affect our students on a micro level, while Michael Messer enlisted our help with upcoming rallies to show our support for the public education system. Go to savetxschools.org to find out more about the March 24th rally in Austin.

We also received updates on our 2012 Membership Drive, the GOTV Action Plan, and a recap of the annual TDW Conference in Austin.

Join us next month for our guest speaker, Liz Walley of Clean Elections Texas.

September’s meeting features Bobette Brasfield of Texas Conservation Alliance, which runs a program called Smarter Water for North Texas. She says, “The good news is that we have enough water in existing reservoirs to meet our water needs for the next 50 plus years! We can avoid new reservoirs which would destroy many thousands of acres of bottomland hardwood forest while uprooting families and harming existing local economies if we make the right allocation and use decisions.” Join us as we explore the low-impact water supply options that will allow us to avoid the monetary and human costs associated with unnecessary new reservoirs.

Bobette Brasfield is a native Texan from Grand Prairie. She is retired from Texas Instruments where she served as a Division Controller and Finance Manager. Bobette has a BA in Business Management and a Master of Science Degree in Environmental Science with a concentration in water issues from the University of North Texas. She has been an environmental educator for many years, working with the City of Coppell, Texas Master Naturalist Program, U.S. National Park service, Texins Dive Club and Dallas Audubon Society.
