DNC Chair Gov. Howard Dean's Statement on Primary Elections

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on the Democratic primaries around the country on June 7, 2006:

 "All across the country yesterday, voters went to the polls to send one resounding message: Americans are tired of the politics of hate and divisiveness, and the Republican culture of corruption. From Jon Tester's victory in Montana to take on the ethically challenged Conrad Burns, to Phil Angelides' victory in California to terminate the special interest governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Democrats offered true leadership for their states and communities. The same was true in Alabama, where more Democrats turned out for their gubernatorial primary than Republicans in a state that President Bush carried by more than 60 percent. Even in California's 50th Congressional District, where Democrats are outnumbered by 50,000 and Republicans spent $5 million to defeat her, Francine Busby impressed the country by coming within 5,000 votes of capturing a solidly Republican seat. In every state, our candidates showed that the values and priorities of the Democratic Party are the values and priorities of the American people. Democrats yesterday showed exactly what our party is going to do to stand up and win in November. We're going to offer the American people real change, not take a single vote for granted, and rebuild the sense of community in America again. Together, America can do better."

"DNC Neighbor-to-Neighbor Organizing Day"

Hosted by
 
"Democrats in Action!" - Grassroots Service Office (Fresno)

255 North Fulton Suite #104

Fresno , CA 93701

559.486.5422

Saturday, May 13, 2006

9:00AM - 2:00PM 

 
More information &/or to RSVP:

http://www.democrats.org/page/event/detail/50statecanvass/4vxwm

Please visit the DNC website: http://www.democrats.org/

The DNC "Neighbor-to-Neighbor Organizing Day" on Saturday, May 13, 2006 29, 2006. This grassroots event represents an important next step in the DNC's State Partnership Project to help turn the vision of a permanent Democratic majority into a reality. The May event is the first of three national organizing drives that are a key part of building strong Election Day teams for 2006 and beyond. Democratic volunteers are working in their communities to organize and mobilize volunteers and voters. Created by Chairman Dean in 2005, the State Partnership Project was established to foster a stronger relationship with, and bolster the operations of, all Democratic State Parties. The DNC is committed to strengthening the State Party infrastructure to elect Democrats at all levels of government. "Election by election, state by state, precinct by precinct, door by door, vote by vote, Democrats are going to take this country back for the people who built it," said DNC Chairman Howard Dean. "Our National Organizing Day is an important and unprecedented step to start earlier than ever to organize, mobilize, and energize our grassroots supporters and volunteers as we prepare for Democratic victories in November. But, this event is just one critical part of our overall effort to rebuild the Democratic Party by organizing and standing up for what we believe in."

Through this coordinated approach, a bolstered grassroots field organization will successfully elect Democrats at all levels - from the precinct to the White House. To date, more than 175 DNC-funded State Partnership Project staff have been hired locally and trained at the National Headquarters. These organizers make a 4-year commitment to work with the state party to build Democratic organizations in every single precinct in their states.

CA: April 28-30, the CDP held their State Convention at the Sacramento Convention Center. For those attending the Convention, materials will be available for distribution at the Center. Because of the conflicting dates, California's statewide canvass will take place on Saturday, May 13.
