In response to a nationwide effort by the Obama campaign to collect opinions and commentsregarding the Democratic National Platform, supporters were encouraged to gather for discussions and feedback. Heide Unruh opened her home to interested Democrats. There was a lively discussion of a variety of issues but dominated by thoughts on reproductive rights. Positions ran from total rejection of abortions to support for a woman's right to choose. The one area of agreement was that the issue is used against all Democrats regardless of their individual stance. There was an overwhelming consensus on most vital planks; environment, health care, social security, campaign finance reform, etc. Perhaps most encouraging was to see many new involved Democrats. At the end of the meeting the photo was taken of some of those who attended.
