Yahoo!Progressive political group MoveOn.org will hold its second annual Virtual Town Hall meeting at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 7. Those in attendance will watch YouTube videos posted by MoveOn members of the presidential candidates discussing global climate change and possible ways to deal with it. Organizers promote the even as an opportunity to compare candidates' views and make knowledgeable decisions regarding the looming election.
After the videos, attendees will watch a live broadcast of a series of Live Earth concerts sponsored by former Vice President Al Gore. Starting July 8, members will be given an opportunity to vote on their favorite candidate. The results of the vote will be released July 11.
The first Virtual Town Hall was held in April and addressed the issues in Iraq. This fall the third meeting will tackle the subject of healthcare.
There will be eight meetings held locally at various houses throughout the community. Visit MoveOn.org for specific addresses. Space is limited.

Thanks, Brian, for putting something in your paper about our MoveOn Parties for the Planet. They turned out to be great successes! Many local MoveOn members were able to hear the top Democratic presidential contenders' answers to some of our members' tough questions on Climate Change and what they intend to do if elected president to help solve the Global Warming problem.
As the Coordinator for MoveOn's Santa Barbara Operation Democracy Council, I appreciate your cooperation with our Media Coordinator, George Yatchisin. He will be sending you press releases on future events that we will be having in Santa Barbara. It would be wonderful to get an article into your paper about our Operation Democracy Council. We are the face of the new MoveOn.Org's restructuring to bring local media attention to MoveOn's national campaigns and events. I am sure there are many local people who would like to know about us!
Thank you,
Lois Hamilton
