Reminder: Moderate Party event tomorrow

As previously reported here:

Liberal and moderate Republicans seem like natural targets for Ken Block's effort to develop a third party in Rhode Island. Linc Chafee has been talked up as possibly having a place in an Obama administration, but Block got the next best person.

The Moderate Party of Rhode Island has announced an upcoming fundraiser to be held in Warwick on October 10, 2008 at the Aspray Boathouse in Pawtuxet Park.
 
Scott Avedisian, the centrist Republican mayor of Warwick, RI, will attend the event and voice his support for the efforts of the Moderate Party of RI.
 
"I believe that the Moderate Party is one of the 'agents for change' that will help transform Rhode Island from the polarizing effect of our current political system.  And, although I remain a Republican, I believe that the Moderate Party is a partner to all of those who seek fundamental change in our political system," Avedisian said.

Mayor Avedisian has long championed fiscal responsibility, improved school performance and providing quality Health and Human Services to those of his constituents who most need them.  The mayor's major policy positions and pragmatic approach to governance align perfectly with the legislative agenda and political posture of the Moderate Party of Rhode Island.
 
"I am pleased to see a growing movement of people advocating for more centrist governance", says Mayor Avedisian.  "My work as a Rodel Fellow at the Aspen Institute showed me how effective centrist governance can be.  By working on trying to move people to the middle, we can move away from partisan sound bites and closer to consensus."
