~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s an important election year, with the Governor’s office on the ballot as well as every other state and county elected position, including State legislative offices, County Executive, Council seats, State’s Attorney, Sheriff and Board of Education. It’s an important election and a lot to think about.
That’s where the New Harford Democratic Club comes in.
For the past four years, ever since the last election, your club has been preparing for this year. Seeking potential candidates, studying the issues, preparing positions and establishing a powerful Get Out The Vote campaign for this fall.
During this time we have brought to our meetings experts in various fields who have enlightened us on the important issues. We have had meaningful discussions on the Dream Act, Gay Marriage, Gun Control, and, just recently, The Storm Water Management Fee that has driven the Republicans off the deep end.
We have heard from political experts such as Herb Smith who has written a book on the history of Maryland politics and Larry Gibson who recently released his book on the young Justice Thurgood Marshal. We have had vigorous discussions on recent books about Presidents Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson.
We have had visits from many elected officials and other candidates for public office and presentations from our most politically active members on the how’s and why’s of the political game.
Simply put, membership in the New Harford Democratic Club gives you a lot of bang for the buck. And that’s important for anyone concerned about the future of our state and county. From now to November all of us will be working hard to elect Democrats. We need everyone to help out.
That’s where you come in.
The New Harford Democratic Club is on the front line in this political battle, and your continued membership is important to this effort.
Should be easy to figure out. People are tired of Obama and Omally. The only democrat’s to survive were Lisanti and Fitzpatrick. Plus Art is no longer pertinent
.
Meeting will probably turn into a pity party
The people have surrendered- regardless of party. A 25% turnout nationwide is pretty sad. Nothing will change until this cylcle changes- the same faces being financed by the same special interests voted on by the same people who go out and vote. We have to find a way to get more voter participation and it’s not doing the same thing we have done in the past.
Not sure of your point. The TV stations were flooded with Brown attack ads. The mailboxes were full of democrat circulars. The word got out. Not voting was a simple choice of not wanting to vote for either candidate. It happens. The side most motivated won. The line about most people agreeing with your side not voting is wishful thinking… if they would have agreed they would have voted.
