The 2004 campaign was our first as an organization. We raised money, and contributed to the campaigns of about 30 Democratic candidates. We recruited numerous precinct committeepeople and several hundred volunteers who worked with us, and on the campaigns of various Democrats. We organized door-to-door drives, phone banks, and we designed, printed, and distributed thousands of pieces of campaign literature. All that, and more, in less than a year of existence.
But we're not stopping there. We plan to continue working with the existing Democratic organizations to continue to build a strong party in the Tenth Congressional District.
This is where you can come in. We are all volunteers. Some of us are experienced in politics, and some are beginners, but all of us share a desire to work for a progressive and tolerant America, open to people of all races, religions, and beliefs, an America that leads by working with our allies on issues as varied as poverty, disease, the environment, and peace. Do you share our beliefs?
If you do, you can help in a variety of ways, from working on this website, to putting out a newsletter, helping us organize events, making phone calls, and raising funds for the next campaign. Now is the time to build the Democratic Party in our area, so that our ideals can become reality in the next election. If you want to work with us, we will find a place to use your skills.
