Ground Operation in Alaska

Hello from Alaska! My name is Jonathan Teeters and I am working with the Alaska Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee to give Alaskans back their voices! For years, Alaska has been a tough place to be a Democrat. This tide is beginning to turn though, as evidenced by our outstanding success just a few nights ago.

November 15th was a big night for all of us in Alaska as we took part in the National Organizing Kickoff Parties that took place all over the country. Alaskans all across the state came together as Democrats, hosting nearly 20 parties, to resoundingly state that we are tired of politics as usual.

I am really excited by what has been happening. I have only been working for the Alaska Democratic Party for just over two weeks, yet the excitement and determination of the numerous people that I have already met, talked to on the phone, or communicated with through email is contagious. I am excited to be part of the team—and part of a team that will win in Alaska, and across the country.

The challenge that we face in Alaska is sizable. If the excitement that was felt on the phone on the 15th is any indication though, we have all the opportunity in the world to overcome the challenges that we face as Democrats and as Alaskans. With all of your help, the DNC 50 State Organizing Strategy will pay dividends on November 7, 2006.
