Join your goddam RD Committee – Part 2
I had my first RD meeting tonight (the 9th). I highly recommend it. In addition to being able to take part in electing the next generation of Democratic Party leadership, you will have direct access to your county council person, state rep, state Senator and the LT Governor. You will need to listen to a lot of people who love the sound of their own voice, and endure people talking about rail road crossings - but that is a small price to pay.
Join prior to Feb 1st. In the age of Zoom, it couldn't be easier. You have no excuse.
- Join your RD
- Become a committee person
- Help elect more Democrats
- Help hold elected Dems accountable
