Key Event On Campus This Thursday!

Written by: Paul Wilson on Sep 25, 2006 8:34 PM EDT

Dear Democracy Campaigners,

What follows is the text of a notice I've posted to our companion DFA group, Students for Democracy, on the WMU campus. The Students for Democracy organizer from last year, Tim Jarrell, has been in touch with people who want to re-energize the College Democrats. What they've been working on has great potential to have an immediate effect on the November election right here in our local area. This has just come together in the past 10 days or so, so I know it's short notice. But it's truly worthy of your involvement.

Please give some consideration to coming out to this meeting to help us get organized. It would be a very cool way to focus our efforts this fall so that there will be some longer term payoff.

Hope to see you there!

Paul

Here's the notice

The Key Event This Week!

COLLEGE DEMS ANNOUNCE FIRST MEETING!

8 PM Thursday September 28, 2006
The President's Dining Room
Bernhard Center.

Look for posted signs or ask at the candy counter for directions.

This first meeting is for organizing; it's been called for this particular day (after consultation and consensus) because this Thursday, September 26, is the first practical day for folks to get together in time to take meaningful action for ...

The 2006 Election ...

coming soon, to a polling station near you. Though our student organization was less active last year, there is plenty going on this year, and many possibilities for you to take action. Right now. In time for the November election. Please come to the meeting this Thursday to find out more. If you cannot make it this Thursday, please write me directly and let me know that you're interested and we'll find a way to keep you in the loop. After this week, regular meetings will be on Tuesday evenings. More info on that shortly.

The single most important action this fall, of course, is to vote. Next most important it to help GOTV - Get Out The Vote - for November. There will be specific campaign-oriented activities, and training from Campus Camp Wellstone between now and election day. Everything that is planned is a great fit with GenerationDFA ideals, so let's take advantage of this opportunity to create a new coalition to help take our country back.

See you Thursday!

Paul Wilson
Faculty Adviser
