Weigh in: What kind of country/state/community do we want?
...And how can we responsibly pay for it?
This is the main question put toward participants in the AmericaSpeaks discussion, and there's one coming to Louisville.
AmericaSpeaks is holding national town meetings around the theme of "Our Budget, Our Economy," that asks participants to have conversations around issues related to this theme with a table of 6 or so people. Those conversations get synthesized (can't imagine how they do that!) and linked to the conversations in the other 18 U.S. cities.
It's a great opportunity for KFTC members, who doubtless have a lot to contribute. We know that we want communities where everyone has access to a good education and quality health care, and that we want good jobs, and that we want to know that we can trust the safety of our water and air. And we know that we can pay for what we need responsibly, through fair and progressive taxation.
Go, speak up, get your friends to go, and help make the conversations productive!
