Thursday, We're Taking it BACK!

Written by: Andrew Short on Sep 5, 2006 10:32 AM EDT

The political environment is much different than it was four years ago… or even two. Republicans are trying to distance themselves from President Bush and their own party. It makes you wonder, why are some Democrats trying to detach themselves from their own party? This November, we're going to hold our elected officials accountable.

Please make it the premier DFA meeting this month. There are a lot of things happening - and more than a name change! We have changed our name from Springfield Democracy for America to SWMO Democracy for America to help us focus on the greater Southwest Missouri area.

Do you realize that no statewide candidate can win Missouri without the Southwest? Claire McCaskill has put Springfield and Joplin as her primary focus this election. With 36% of the votes in Springfield, Claire will be our next United States Senator, but we need to help her get there!

SWMO DFA has recently become a PAC so we can further enhance our goals of painting SWMO BLUE! This Thursday, we will be electing two new board members to serve and help shape the political environment of Missouri. So goes Missouri, so goes the nation!

With only two months left until the election, we will be working on a massive GOTV effort. It's time to start committing to SWMO DFA's endorsed candidates: Jamie Schoolcraft (139th), Tonya Cunningham (140th), and Claire McCaskill! We're going to call, knock on every door, and make sure these candidates are put into office this November.

Don't miss one of the most important meetings ever for your DFA! We have a lot to talk about as we discuss our future vision for our community, state, and nation. We have a record number of new members this month and there are TONS of ways you can get involved with whatever you're passionate about. Come Thursday at Harpo's 7:00P.M. and find out how!
