What is this
site? The Obama Watch web pages are intended to increase the public
awareness and
accountability of our newly elected U.S. Senator's actions. Our
intent is to present largely factual material which addresses
primarily the issues and questions which we, as progressives, find
most interesting.
Who are we? Logan Square Neighbors for Justice and Peace is a
volunteer membership organization that addresses progressive
political issues in our community by a variety of means. For more
information visit our home page.
HELP WANTED! We need your help to keep the site current and
eventually expand coverage to other elected officials. If you would
like to help, please
e-mail us at: obamawatch@lsnjp.org
