DFA at the Beach brings New Jersey Progressives Together for Fun in the Sun

Who says politics can't be fun? Last weekend, NJ for Democracy joined with local groups from across New Jersey for the 4th Annual DFA at the Beach party - a day long summer open house at the famous Moby's Deck in the Highlands, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Gateway National Recreation Area. We got together with friends from over half the state's counties, and representatives from nearly every local DFA group. And, for the 3rd year in a row - we had perfect weather at the Deck.

The event got its start back in 2005 when just a few folks from Ocean County DFA got together, literally on the beach, for the first installment. But, it has grown into a statewide event I look forward to each year. And wherever you are in the country - can I recommend you do something like this? DFA on the bayou? DFA at the lake? It doesn't matter where you are - sometimes just getting together for some beer, clams and sunshine goes a long way to recharging your political engines.
