Volunteers Needed!
On Saturday, April 30th, we will be moving our PACG office from the Davenport Unitarian church to Cobblestone Place. We need you! And, if you have a dolly, a truck, and/or an available backseat to transport some boxes to our new location we would very much appreciate your assistance. We also need help with organizing the new office.
Please call PACG at 563-676-7580 or email qcprogressiveaction@gmail.com Thank you!

Posted: April 29th 2011Congressman Braley invites all Iowans to create own balanced budget, and reduce the deficit during the week of April 25th. The town halls will be fully interactive and attendants will be able to decide how to balance the budget and reduce the deficit.
“It’s long past due time for a serious, responsible conversation about our fiscal future – and that’s why I want to bring the budget discussion directly to my constituents,” said Rep. Braley. “These town halls will give Iowans an opportunity to see first-hand how the budget process works in Congress. Together, we can find the best ways to balance the budget and reduce our deficit. I look forward to hearing from my constituents and discussing these important issues with them.”
Attendants can RSVP on Rep. Braley’s website at: http://go.usa.gov/TQa
