Kathleen Kennedy Townsend Event in Omaha (Rally)
On Tuesday, March 11, 2008, Catholic Democrats of Nebraska will welcome Kathleen Kennedy Townsend to Omaha. Kathleen will appear at the Firefighters Union Hall at 6005 Grover St. in Omaha at 6:30PM. Tickets to the event are $25.00. Anyone is welcome to the event. Any member of Nebraska Young Democrats or similar college Democratic organization will receive a complementary ticket, but the ticket must be ordered. (See below to order tickets to the event).
Food, draught beer and soft drinks will be available for no charge.
Kathleen, the eldest child of Robert and Ethel Kennedy and the former Lt. Governor of Maryland, will give a presentation titled Failing America's Faithful: How America's Churches Are Mixing God With Politics and Losing Their Way, based on her book of the same title that was released earlier this year.
In its March 15, 2007 publication, The Library Journal had this to say in their review of Kathleen's book:
"Drawing on her personal story of faith, her family’s commitment to social justice, and her political experience as Maryland lieutenant governor, Townsend issues a carefully wrought call to churches-Catholic and Protestant alike-to evaluate to what extent religion has become politicized and to refocus on working for the common good."
We are very proud to welcome Kathleen to Nebraska to help us in our efforts to educate Catholic voters and bring them back to the Democratic Party "one pew at a time".
Please contact me if you are available to volunteer time to help us in the planning of the event-that would be greatly appreciated. Our goal is the fill the hall with no seats to spare. Please make sure to share the word with family and friends alike.
