'Crazy' Tea Party by Miami-Herald's Leonard Pitts

Dan Ogden Update

Dan Ogden, Clark County's own "Mr. Democrat", took a liitle spill in the garage a couple weeks ago and cracked his left hip and broke his left arm.  His attitude is outstanding, i.e., he's doing very well. 

He had a litlle surgery to put three pins in his hip. He's out of the hospital and staying at the Cascade Park Care Center at 801 Parkcrest Avenue (98683) for a few weeks until the hip mends enough to carry weight. 

He's reading a lot, has run out of room for plants and flowers, and likes visitors.  Cards can be sent there or to the Dems PO Box 179 (98666), or to his house at 2916 NE 88th Ct, Vancouver (98662).

DEB WALLACE OPTS OUT

Enhance Democrats' Opportunities

Deb Wallace announced Saturday that she was withdrawing from the 3rd Congressional race. Her very considered reasons were concerned with thinning the field of Democrats to assist in assuring that a Democrat succeeds in the Congressional Primary.  

Her words with met with a short silence followed by vigorous applause for Deb’s courage and dedication. The announcement was made Saturday at a scheduled fundraiser and homemade pie fest hosted by Pam Brokaw and Larry & Clare Kennedy in the Pinebrook neighborhood.
 
Deb sincerely endorsed Monica Stonier in her bid for the the WA State Representatives seat that Deb vacated in her bid for Congress.  Learn more about Monica at Elect Monica Stonier or at her page on this website.

Attend Legislative Caucus/Clark County Convention

The Clark County Democrats will hold combined Legislative District Caucuses and the County Convention on April 10, 2010 at Hudson's Bay High School.

Registration Starts: 8:00 AM
1206 East Reserve Street Vancouver, WA 98661-4196

All Clark County Democrats are strongly encouraged to participate.  

At the LD Caucuses, Delegates and Alternates to the Washington State Convention (June 25-26 in Vancouver, WA) will be elected.  LD Caucuses will include the 17th and 49th LD's and the Clark County portions of the 15th and 18th Legislative Districts.

At the County Convention, we will accept and discuss Platform Issues and Resolutions to be brought to the WA State Democratic Party Convention.  The 'Call to Convention' was e-mailed to 3500 previous Caucus attendees. 

The complete 'Call to Convention' and supporting documents are listed here on bluedonkeys at Banner #3 to the left.  Check it out!  If you have questions or concerns, email: chair@bluedonkeys.com.

 The Clark County Democrats will NOT be holding precinct caucuses in February. In the past, we have held precinct caucuses in February at joint locations with the Republicans.

This year, to save time and money, we will replace the Precinct Caucus function with a combined Legislative District and Clark County Convention.

Activist/Volunteer/PCO Seminars

Training for Democratic Activists, Volunteers, & PCO's

There are some volunteer activities that one may not feel totally comfortable doing, even though we'd like to be.  But here's a short seminar where things are explored and explained, one can ask questions, do a little practice, and get comfortable doing volunteer activities.

The Vancouver seminar is on April 03, 2010 at the ILWU Hall from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM (note the time change).  Bring your laptop for the VoteBuilder session. It's short, it's dynamic, it's free.  Contact Pete Aller to sign up - 360-254-2158 or imblu17@comcast.net

I went to the Lacey Training and Crab Feed on Feb 15.  The Training was very useful.  I'll pass along a lot of good thoughts at our seminar in April.  The crab feed was bigger and tastier than ever.  Candidates spoke with real enthusiasm!  Patty and the Gov - Wow! What a year this is!  Pete
