<div>Hello neighbors,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My name is Catarina Correia and my husband and i moved into our home one year and a half ago. We live on 44th ave. I do not know enough about the RP budget to comment on taxes and confess that neither I nor my husband have attended any community hearings. It is encouraging to see that there is an active discussion on how to better our community.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am writing today because i have been following the county budget more closely and know that yesterday our representative voted to give millions more in taxpayer money to the occupation of Iraq. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have attended community peace meetings in Mount Rainier and in Greenbelt, but have not found one here. I am writing to see if there are any members of the community interested in forming a RP peace group (if none exists already). If so, you can contact me off list at
<a href="mailto:chatareena@gmail.com">chatareena@gmail.com</a>. we could have a potluck at my home and discuss ways in which we can connect our community concerns to our failed and flawed foreign policy and ways we can communicate our concerns to our elected officials and others.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thank you and have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.</div>
