Recovery Voices Count launched
Successful NH Presidential Town Hall
Representatives from nine US Presidential campaigns appeared at the December 2, 2007 Plaistow, NH Presidential Town Hall, where they spoke and responded to questions about candidates’ positions on key addiction prevention, treatment and recovery issues, including ending insurance discrimination. Thanks to moderator Lisa Peakes, NH Public Radio’s Morning Edition host, and all of the sponsoring organizations. Here are a few pictures. Stay tuned for video footage and a full report on the event along with tools that you can use to raise recovery issues in the 2008 election cycle as part of our bi-partisan Recovery Community Civic Engagement campaign.
