Date: Thursday, September 20, 2007
Location: Brownstone Diner, Jersey Ave @ Grand Ave.
Attendees: Cheryl, Christian, Gina, Leila, Tavie
Meeting called to order at: 7:00 PM
1) Agenda items:
A) DFA-Link Usage/Blog Usage/Yahoo Groups Usage
Christian suggests that the DFA-Link is just for strictly DFA-related business, whereas the blog and Yahoo email group are for more general purposes. Why are both a blog and Yahoo group need?
1) A blog is more public and doesn’t clog people’s inboxes, and
2) Visiting a blog more voluntary, whereas a Yahoogroup can get messages out to many people at once.
B) Webmaster of the three sites - Tabled
C) JC-DFA Policies and Procedures
The meeting minutes should be typed and submitted to the Yahoo group by the Secretary. It will be open to the entire group for corrections and updates.
D) Dennis Kucinich Signature Drive
Christian pointed out that this is not to be equated with JC-DFA’s “official support” for Kucinich, but everyone present agreed that he should be represented on the ballot.
Christian reports that the contact info in Dale’s email about this was incorrect; he will ask Dale to re-post the correct info.
E) October 3, 2007 Matt Linfante – Union County DFA Monthly Meeting at Rockin Joe’s 20 Prospect Street, Westfield NJ
Christian suggested that events such as these be posted to DFA-Link as events. Gina suggests that they also should be emailed to the Yahoo group.
F) Gina Genovese needs help defeating Tom Kean
Gina volunteered to contact her.
G) Status of Meeting/Town Hall with Albio Sires
Leila suggests we go down to DC for the day. She will research logistics of a possible group excursion.
H) Status of Health Care Town Hall
Tabled
I) Strategy & Tactics to Speak with Reluctant Reps
Christian suggests we all create our own lists of strategies and discuss them in person or over email to combine them into a coherent plan; see what other DFA groups have done and discuss what we can do.
2) Tabled:
A) Status of Health Care Town Hall is unknown. Christian will get an update from Dale.

F) The need to set a firm time and date for our meetings was discussed and a time proposed and agreed upon by all present: JC-DFA meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 pm. The permanent location of the meetings is yet to be determined. Possible choices, depending on how large the group gets, include the Brownstone Diner and the common room at 100 Dudley Street (Gina, Tavie & Cheryl’s building.)
G) The need to publicize the group was discussed and it was agreed we would post about it on JC List and send email invitations to other nearby DFA groups. The blog and DFA-Link page should be posted and shared to all possible interested parties.

3) Committee reports: Christian’s Topic Agenda for DFA Meeting w/Sires (See Summary of resolutions & assignments)
4) Summary of discussion, resolutions and assignments:

B) It was agreed that the order of the agenda items would be prioritized.
C) Dale suggested our number one issue be Iraq. It was agreed to move that item up on the list.
D) Changed the item to push for Gonzalez’s removal to support the investigation against Gonzalez, as Gonzalez resigned from office on 8/27/07.
E) On Topic 3, Voting Reform:
1) Christian suggested that we add the proposal of adopting Australia’s mandatory-voting law to the agenda. The item was added.
2) Dale suggested we also push for a National Holiday for voting.
3) Leila, Gina and Christian suggested that we have more people monitoring activity at the polls to report on what’s happening, if any violations are being observed, etc. (This requires further discussion.)
F) On Topic 5, Homelessness:
1) At the local level, Dale discussed working with Steve Fulop to get developers to increase amount of contribution for Low-Income housing and change the language used: “low income” versus “affordable housing”; the latter is used to restrict housing from those who actually need it.
2) Dale proposed building alliances with Acorn (Acorn Housing Corporation) and with the Ward F leaders, such as Viola Richardson, Councilwoman of Ward F.
Christian proposed we come up with a CPEHA (Community Partnership to End Homelessness)/ACORN plan, and Dale agreed to work on it. Leila recommended we bring these issues up with our state reps.

I) Topic 8, Corporate Personhood
1) The Agenda item calls for abolishing corporate personhood, which isn’t a law but is being treated as such without justification from the Supreme Court. Christian recommended we read about it at the website of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, which is run out of Philadelphia. Tavie posted link on the JCDFA blog. Link: http://www.wilpf.org/

Save Children's Health Insurance: Sign Petition NOW!
Say YES to children
The State Children's Health Insurance Program (known as SCHIP) has been a blessing to millions of children who would otherwise be uninsured. But SCHIP ends on September 30 and President Bush has threatened to veto legislation to renew the program.
We need to protect our children, including making sure they have health coverage.
As our children head back to school, Congress must help make sure that young people have the health coverage they need to succeed. Congress can do this by passing a strong $50 billion SCHIP reauthorization. Six million children rely on SCHIP and another five million uninsured low-income children would be covered by new funding. We will not tolerate politicians playing politics with our children. We are all judged by how we treat the least among us, especially innocent children. SCHIP has been a great success with strong bi-partisan support since it began.
We expect Congress and the President to say YES to covering our children before SCHIP ends on September 30.
Please also encourage members of your group to go to the "Care For Kids: Fund Schip", sign the petition to make their voices heard on this critical issue for the community.

Open Space
Open space is a very important issue for all of us in Jersey City. There are several groups around here that are working hard to help create parks and protect open spaces. Connect the Parks is having an event Sunday the 24th at the end of Washington St. & Pennisula Park.
Go here http://www.paulushook.net/meetings/2007/06/connect-parks-june-24th-noon-to-5pm.html for more info. I hope that people show up.

Good Meeting
I just wanted to say that I walked away from our first mini-meeting feeling very good. I believe that there is a lot of potential for us to grow into a positive force in Jersey City politics.

Jersey City DFA formed June 14th!
Hey Tavie!
Great to meet you tonight and thanks for setting this up so quick; I'm going over to Yahoo to set up our yahoo group next as "Jersey City DFA". Also great to meet Cheryl, see Gina and all who came!
Good meeting tonight with our core in attendance, 6 and more to follow. I'm glad we all agreed on complete transparency in our DFA link, our blogs and our yahoo group: everyone will be able to email, post, create events, blog, comment, without moderator interference or delay. If we want transparency in good government we have to walk the walk and talk the talk. :-)
So I will send you links, etc, as I have time, but tired now and need to veg till later.
Bright Moments!
