Our focus is to: (1) Gain a comprehensive knowledge of key local and national issues and an understanding of their impact and implications for our communities (2) Communicate and share vital information on these issues with our neighbors through education, programs, forums and other events (3) Become active advocates, with an articulate viewpoint and knowledgeable position, for reform or changes that benefit our communities (4) Exert influence on elected officials and candidates to support the development and passage of legislation that is consistent with our positions Membership is open to any registered voter who is willing to contribute to the operations of the organization and who has an interest in being politically active, informed and knowledgeable. As a member of our organization, you are welcome to join any of the issues groups that have been set up or will be developed, that address matters of importance, concern and interest to you. We look forward to having you join us at our next meeting. Please RSVP by email, Dan Kaslow, dakaslow@comcast.net   Reflective Citizen Username: Reflective Post Number: 714 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Friday, February 4, 2005 - 10:17 pm:        Tomorrow dano, I will respond with some helpful thoughts to your group.   Jgberkeley Citizen Username: Jgberkeley Post Number: 4180 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Saturday, February 5, 2005 - 10:07 pm:        Have you considered joining the CBAC, the Citizens Budget Advisory Commitee? You can meet most if not all of your goals by working with this group. Since 1920 the CBAC has functioned in Maplewood as part of the Maplewood Civic Association. Email me and I can help you become part of the positive effort to help our Township. Later, George Berkeley Chairperson, CBAC 2005-2006 jgberkeley@aol.com
