Announcements, County Committee, Delhi, Middletown, Sidney No Comments »

I am very proud to announce that the Delaware County Democratic Committee along with many wonderful volunteers, turned out over 120 students we registered from Suny Delhi to vote yesterday! This is out of 159 registered with the campus as their address. Amazing!! Thanks to all, and our work has only just begun.

Congresswoman Gillibrand, who lost by over 1200 votes in 2006, carried Delaware County by 1179 votes over Sandy Treadwell: 8226 to 7047 (unofficial of course)

Obama lost in the county, but not by much: 8562 to 9875. HE WON IN DELHI, MIDDLETOWN AND SIDNEY!!

Delhi: 868 Obama to 735 McCain (gee, do you think this has anything to do with all those college students!!??)

Middletown: 740 Obama to 645 McCain

Sidney: 1104 Obama to 984 McCain

Everyone I have spoken to says they wept for joy, and relief. It’s a good day.

Election Night Bash

County Committee No Comments »

The big night finally!!! In anticipation of having a lot to celebrate, Delaware County Democrats are sponsoring an

ELECTION RETURNS PARTY at the

Sol Bar behind the Quarter Moon Cafe,

53 Main Street, Delhi,

beginning at 8.30p.m.

Tuesday, November 4th.

Community pot luck. Bring something to share if you can. The bar will be serving drinks all through the evening.

Join your neighbors! Share in history being made.

For those who have never been to the Sol Bar, there are two very large televisions. There is also wi-fi service, so bring your laptop if you wish.

And for those of you who vote differently than I do, I can only say we live in a great country — where we each have the right to decide our own vote. We are lucky people.

In peace, Faiga

Good Cheap Food/Quarter Moon Cafe & Sol Bar (607 746.8886). 53 Main Street, Delhi. 607 746.6562. M-S 10-6.

Women For Obama Rally

County Committee No Comments »

A bipartisan group of women from all over the Capital Region will gather at the Capitol Steps in an effort to bring attention to issues of importance to us during this presidential campaign and show our support for Presidential cand idate Barack Obama.

We proudly support Senator Barack Obama as our next President because he is the best
candidate to bring about change to Washington and throughout the world. He will fight to
establish a healthcare system that is inclusive of all Americans; will continue to support Roe v. Wade ensuring the privacy and safety of all women; and will support an agenda that will
strengthen current domestic violence laws. In addition, Senator Obama strongly supports equal pay legislation and he is dedicated to helping the middle class get ahead by supporting tax-cuts that directly benefit them.

WOMEN WILL NOT BE FOOLED. SENATOR OBAMA IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO WILL TRULY SUPPORT WOMENS ISSUES BUT FIRST WE MUST SHOW OUR SUPPORT FOR HIM!

JOIN US as we gather and discuss some of the issues of great importance to American women and show our support for the Obama-Biden ticket.

WHAT: Women for Obama Rally
WHEN: Saturday, October 11, 2008
10:00a.m.

WHERE: Capitol Steps
East Capitol Park

WHO: Shawn Morris, Albany Common Council President
Ginny O’Brien, Minority Leader in the Rensselaer County Legislature
