Election Night Bash

County Committee Comments Off

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

Women For Obama Rally

County Committee Comments Off

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.

East Capitol Park

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

NY has its Obama campaign state director!

Events Comments Off

The following message was recently sent to NY supporters of Barack Obama for president, by the new state director for New York.

My name is Dave Pollak and I’m the new State Director for the Obama campaign here in New York. I want to tell you about an exciting porgram we’re running here called Camp Obama.

During this two-day session, people like you will be taking their support for this movement to the next level by learning the organizing principles that this campaign and our movement for change are built on.

Camp Obama attendees will receive real-world organizing experience that will have a direct impact on this election. Graduates of Camp Obama will go on to become Deputy Field Organizers who will lead this campaign to victory in crucial battleground states around the country.

Find out more about this exciting opportunity to take a leadership role in this movement for change: http://ny.barackobama.com/CampObamaNY. By participating in Camp Obama, you’ll get the kind of experience that Barack got as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, where he learned that real change happens from the bottom up.

That experience transformed Barack’s life and made him who he is today.

Camp Obama is your chance to put those very same principles into action – to win this election and to strengthen democracy in communities around the country.

After completing the program, you’ll be required to work as a Deputy Field Organizer in a battleground state where you’ll be organizing supporters and helping lead our grassroots Get Out The Vote operation.

Apply for a spot at Camp Obama near you and become a leader in our movement for change.

This campaign relies on the passion and enthusiasm of ordinary supporters, but it needs leaders who can organize these supporters and turn their enthusiasm into votes on Election Day.

Camp Obama is your chance to step up and become a leader in this movement.

Thanks,

Dave
