Hello, again. You might know me from DFA, or you might remember me from the Busby Campaign, or you already know me as the Santa Ana Precinct Volunteer, or you might not have met me yet! But anyways since I also attend the University of San Diego, I am a member of the USD Young Democrats. Last night, we discussed our plans for an amazing all-star event that we are putting together for next month, and I'd like to share this with you.

On November 4th, we will be hosting a fun and exciting dinner. We have already booked Representatives Susan Davis and Bob Filner, as well as Congressional Candidates Francine Busby and John Rinaldi. One of the deejays from the local Air America station will be there, along with other local leaders. However, the most important highlight of the evening will be the money that we raise for the Democrats' Fifty-State Strategy.

Now we all saw what happened this year with Francine Busby in the 50th District. No one would have ever imagined that this seat would EVER be competitive, but thanks to the local grassroots taking advantage of the Cunningham mess, the unimaginable happened. Now I know that by nurturing that grassroots movement, and building upon what we did early this year, we can eventually turn this seat blue. Perhaps you also heard the great news about the new Lake Research poll that has Steve Young within striking distance of Campbell in the 48th. Maybe you've also noticed Jim Brandt's amazingly solid campaign to take down that scandalicious Rohrabacher in the 46th. Fortunately, we are investing in a new precinct captains system that will place a strong Democratic presence in every neighborhood... Including here, in Orange County! This is how we will begin winning nationwide, and this is why our club would like to support this great new tool.

I'm writing because this is an urgent matter for our club on campus. This is the the first major event that we've done since the 2004 election. Unfortunately, we are still short on funds for this event. We also need people to come, and join us in support of the Fifty-State Strategy. Please let your family and friends know about this great opportunity to meet our candidates and support our party. Also if you'd like to help by volunteering, or donating money, please let us know. And most importantly, please come! Tickets will most likely be in the $50-$75 range, and (again) we will be giving to a great cause. We are quite excited about this, yet we know that we would not be where we are today without the support of our fellow Southern California Democrats.

Thank you for your support, and we certainly hope to see you on the 4th.
