DEPARTURE
Any chance the talks will be live streamed (or at least posted on YouTube at a later date)? Or am I actually going to have to make a solid effort to get my aging and provincial carcass to deepest darkest Buffalo?
There will be a Zoom meeting link posted soon.
Hi Sheldon , I’m an old friend of David Hacker . I was one of the original members of SDUSA in its refoundation . I was an early member of DSOC then DSA . The North Star Caucus and the the Left Social Democrats Caucus here in Minnesota…Anyway, I’ve been trying to get in contact with David Hacker , I’ve emailed him , but no reply. Maybe I have the wrong email address or doesn’t want to reply? Could you forward this message to him with my email .Thanks Dan Frankot
Dan, I am here at DHacker300@aol.com. My phone number is 516-473-5213 or 516-804-3940. But I also have a complaint about the schedule. I was suppose to join Patty in wrapping up the conference on Tuesday. That was in the original schedule that she read to me,and I took down, and read it to the NEC. My only concern is that I will be able to have my new laptop fixed by this Friday, as my present laptop may not allow me to have a constant access to Zoom, without suddenly freezing.
