[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Your Meeting with Timothy Johnson

[Alfred Kagan]

Folks,

I signed up with the Campaign for Reader Privacy Team to visit Rep. Tim 
Johnson to talk about the Patriot Act.  The meeting is going to be at 
his office on July 11th and 11 am.  I got the following reply, but only 
opened it now since I have been away at a meeting.  At the time of 
writing, they were looking for someone to come forward to be the 
meeting coordinator.  Did anyone agree to do this yet?

> Hi,
>
> Thank you again for registering to participate in our upcoming lobby 
> meeting with Timothy Johnson. As of this time, none of the registrants 
> for your particular meeting have applied to be the local meeting 
> coordinator, and we would like to ask if this is something you would 
> consider doing.
>
> To apply to fill this critical volunteer position, please login to the 
> update page below using your e-mail address.

> http://www.workingassets.com/updvolunteer.cfm
>
> Then, check the box marked "Volunteer Coordinator Candidate" and tell 
> us a little about yourself by answering the questionnaire on that same 
> page.
>
> Being the coordinator for your meeting would entail a couple hours of 
> work over the next week, but we would provide all the support that you 
> need. Your duties would include:
>
> - contacting the other meeting attendees this weekend to confirm their 
> attendance;
> - providing directions to the meeting and establishing a rendezvous 
> point for the group on the day of the meeting;
> - acting as the group spokesperson during the meeting and delivering 
> our message to the senator or staff;
> - delegating some responsibilities (such as note and picture taking) 
> to other participants; and,
> - sending us a short summary report on the meeting after it is over.
>
> If you are selected for this position, you will be given access to our 
> coordinator guide, which clearly explains the duties above in more 
> detail. You would be required to participate in a conference-call 
> briefing for all the volunteer coordinators at 4 PM ET on Wednesday, 
> June 29th. The call will offer specific training on our message 
> strategy with your representative as well as a chance for volunteers 
> to ask questions and share tips and ideas.
>
> Again, the first step you should take if you are interested is 
> updating your registration and completing the coordinator 
> questionnaire at this link:
>
> http://www.workingassets.com/updvolunteer.cfm
>
> Thank you for your consideration on this matter. However you 
> contribute to these meetings, your participation is still appreciated 
> and will greatly impact your representative's decision-making on 
> reader privacy
>
> Sincerely,
>
> The Campaign for Reader Privacy Team
