The Hillsborough Democratic Alliance will meet on July 10,
2013, beginning at 6:45 PM at the Avalon Assisted Living Center, 393 Amwell
Road, Hillsborough.  Richard Arline,  Democratic candidate for Somerset County Sherriff.
 Mr. Arline, who  has 34 years experience in law enforcement,
will be the featured guest for this meeting and will entertain audience
questions.  A representative from
Democratic Congressman Rush Holt’s US Senate Campaign will be in attendance as
well.  Representatives from the other
Democratic US Senate campaigns have also been invited.  Note  that
the primary for this race is coming up quickly on August 13, and mail-in
ballots have already been distributed. 
This is also a great opportunity to find out about the similarities and
differences in the primary candidates and their campaigns on issues such as civil
rights, gun control, immigration reform, the environment, the economy, and more.
  All Democrats and others are welcome to
attend.  Refreshments will be served  beginning at 6:30,  and the meeting will start at 6:45.  Come as soon as you can get there.



The Politics Book Club continues on August  1st, 7:00 – 9:00 PM with the book “The Last
Gun – How Changes in the Gun Industry are Killing Americans and What It Will
Take to Stop It” by Tom Diaz.  The
restaurant is still to be determined, so contact james.bergstrom@comcast.net ASAP
if you are interested.  These discussions
are very lively and you are invited even if you have not read a lot of the book. 



The Alliance plans to continue to have many interesting
speakers and events  at its monthly
meetings through the busy 2013 campaign season, encouraging like-minded
individuals to share in the camaraderie of fellow Democrats and progressives.   Focusing on transparency and accountability
in local government, the Hillsborough Democratic Alliance provides all
participants with the opportunity to discuss the issues facing Hillsborough, the
region and state and the US as a whole.
