Fundraiser/Meet and Greet for Norm Bossert
Democratic Candidate, North Carolina Senate District 48
Contributions Appreciated
Sunday, October 16 at 5:00 PM
Sissy and Ryland Owen have invited us all to come to their home for a gathering October 16 from 5 until 6 PM. Their home is in a beautiful pastoral setting with a scenic drive from Hendersonville or parts east.
We will have time to renew old friendships and make new ones. Expect a quiet gathering, except for Norm’s stump speech. He has a real barnburner. Sissy will provide sodas, water and snacks.
Henderson County Democratic Party members who are active in the Party today are above all else dedicated to social justice. The Democratic Party is our best and final hope to achieve these goals.
The theme for this year’s election is:
“Everyone votes, everyone is protected.”
Please join us at
1961 Brookside Camp Rd.
Hendersonville, NC 28792
land line 828-694-3624
From downtown Hendersonville:
Take 64 towards Bat Cave. Turn left on Howard Gap Rd. Turn right on Salisbury Rd. Salisbury Rd dead ends on Brookside Camp Rd. Turn right on Brookside Camp Rd. Go about 100 yards and turn left into the driveway just before the mailbox that has 1961 on it. It is a hard downhill turn. Come 1/4 mile past the cabin and park on the right side of the driveway on the grass across from the main house. Please face out for easy exit.

First-Day of Early Voting Events
The HCDP is holding three big First-Day of Early Voting Events at the Henderson County Board of Elections, 75 E. Central St, Hendersonville, on Thursday, October 20. Our goal is to get 10% of the projected early vote in the box on the very first day of early voting, which will take 760 voters.
The first event is for early-risers. We’ll gather at BoE at 8 am for the opening of the polls at 8:30 am. After we all vote, we’ll head to Mike’s on Main for breakfast.
The second event is for the lunch crowd. We’ll gather at 11 am at BoE, vote as a group, and then head off to 3-Chopt Sandwiche Shoppe for lunch.
The third event is for any who miss the two earlier events. We’ll gather at 5 pm at BoE, vote as a group, and then head to 2-Guys Pizza for an early dinner.
Karl Silverman will host at all three events. Meet up with Karl under the big Hillary sign in the BoE parking lot at your selected event. You don’t have to go eat after voting, but note that Patty at Mike’s on Main, Mathew at 3-Chopt, and Mel at 2-Guys have been supporting us for years. Of course, you will have to pay for your own meals.
We need to get 760 votes in the box on October 20 so we hope to see you at the BoE. However, if you can’t attend one of these events, just head to the BoE any time between 8:30 am and 6 pm and VOTE!

For Immediate Release
October 10, 2016
Statement from DNC Interim Chair Donna Brazile on Second Presidential Debate
WASHINGTON -- DNC Interim Chair Donna Brazile issued the following statement:
“Donald Trump would have had a better debate if he had just stayed in Trump Tower. He failed to issue a serious apology for his treatment of women, admitted he didn’t pay taxes, resorted to desperate attacks and mud-slinging, and was incoherent on every policy issue that came up. Hillary Clinton was unshakable. She was poised, prepared and informed. She offered substantive solutions to the serious challenges that our next president will face. And she proved once again that she is battle-tested, ready to fight for the American people, and the only candidate in this race qualified to serve as commander-in-chief.”
“We can expect to see more Republican leaders who endorsed Trump try to distance themselves from him in the coming days but don’t be fooled. They chose Trump as their standard-bearer, and now they have to live with him. We cannot afford to elect leaders who ever thought Trump was fit to serve. We must elect Hillary Clinton as our next president, and Democrats up and down the ballot across the country on Election Day to build on the progress of the last eight years.”
