As of this week, 73 units of people have contributed over $15,000 for our 2016 budgeted outreach and political programs.  There are still so many of you out there who can help.  Please click ActBlue at right to contribute.

JULY 2 BREAKFAST:  Eat between 9 and 11 am, and enjoy Charlie and Pam Rogers at 10:15 am speaking on “Compassion is a Verb” (compassion is a central moral value for the Democratic party and will be reflected in our parade presentation below as well).  Charlie and Pam are Democrats who have huge hearts for being the verb in action.

We’re more than half way there.  We need another $10,000 to reach all 17,000 Democrats in Henderson County in our strategic efforts to achieve a greater voter turnout than ever!  Please click ActBlue at right.

JULY 4TH!!!  COME TO THE BRAT “GRILL ‘N CHILL” COOKOUT 1-3 pm at HCDP HQ.  We have a lead cook, Dawn String, owner of Dragonfly Restaurant, and we are building a team of helpers.  SIGN UP SHEETS are at HQ to set up tents, help in the food line, help get people parked, and to bring potato salad, cole slaw, and desserts.  It’s a BYO Beer/Wine event; we’ll have iced tea.  Chris Kruse, our DJ, will set up his tent and music out front, too.

This election is NOT an automatic “shoe-in” for any candidate. From School Board to State and Congressional offices, we must elect BLUE!  We must reach everyone we can.  Please click ActBlue at right to contribute.
