The Summit will be composed of two separate yet fundamentally interrelated programmatic elements, each having an educational and a social function.

An afternoon Revitalization Symposium exploring “been-there, done-that” best practices and how-to’s that can easily be applied when working to nurture active, highly energized, fully-functioning precinct organizational units well connected with its residents at the neighborhood and precinct levels.

An evening Stump- Speech Kick- Off and Social where symposium attendees and interested persons have an opportunity to meet, network with their political “soul mates”, and discuss “The Next-Step” for transforming precinct revitalization theory into practice, especially as we look towards the upcoming Caucus Season. Our very special key-note speaker is Jim Hightower. “National radio commentator, writer, public speaker, and author of Thieves In High Places: They’ve Stolen Our Country And It’s Time to Take It Back, Jim Hightower has spent three decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be - consumers, working families, environmentalists, small businesses, and just-plain-folks.” (http://www.jimhightower.com/.)

Date: Saturday, November 3, 2007
Time: 1:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Joel Jensen, SD 44 Chair

Citizens! The health of our democracy is on our hands, and we must pick up our cameras and find the truth(s) out there ourselves. That’s what The Uptake is all about - but we need your help. Why? We want to train and equip a legion of citizen journalists to cover events happening in our communities, all leading up to the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention.

Please come down to our fun[d]raiser at the 331 Club on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 3 - 6 PM. You’ll get a couple of free beers, good company, citizen videos, and maybe even your own press pass. There’s never been a more vital time for us to “be the media.”

DONATE ONLINE HERE if you’re outside Minnesota or unable to attend. Thank you so much.
