Dover dems host Obama “house party”

By Christine Anne Piesyk | October 1, 2008 |

Folks from several middle and western Tennessee counties gathered at the Dover home of Jim and Nan Robertson for a “house party” and fundraiser in support of the presidential bid of Senator Barrack Obama. The late afternoon event filled their home and garden with friends, local candidates, and legislators, all ready to voice their support for Senator Obama.

District 75 Rep. Willie Butch Borchert addressed the crowd, urging his constituency to support change in government by voting Democratic and “supporting Obama,” adding that the McCain/Palin Republican ticket would be a vote for more of the same “Bush administration” politics.

About Christine Anne Piesyk

With 40 years behind me (Huh? What? How did that happen?) as a journalist, feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, and film/theater/arts critic, I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago. having completed a midlife undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts. I am currently an MFA student at Goddard College. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and an issue-specific commission for the City of Northampton, MA, and did minor undergraduate work in studies in urban planning and community development. I am a community volunteer and a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, classical music junkie; I also and design and make sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I have an unquenchable interest in just about everything. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure, with the best things still to come.
