Showing 'Em How It's Done

Dan Slater, Vice Chair of the Colorado Democratic Party, stopped by "Blogging USA" and showed everyone that he is way ahead of the curve when it comes to Internet outreach:

This morning, I woke up at the crack of dawn to attend the Rural Council meeting — the group of DNC members committed to bring attention and resources to winning in rural areas of America. We were joined by Governor Dean and DNC Political Director Pam Womack for a good discussion of the DNC’s new efforts to attract votes in rural areas of America.

In Colorado (and in Montana), we know how important rural votes are. Because we — for the first time in a long time — focused attention on counties and races that had for far too long been forgotten by the Party in Colorado, we were able to buck the national trend and elect a new U.S. Senator, a new Member of Congress, and gain a majority in both the State House and the State Senate. With the possible exception of the State Senate majority, it is abundantly clear now that none of that could have been done without our rural focus.

After the Rural Council meeting, I attended the DNC Western Regional Caucus meeting. There, we elected officers and talked about our next stand-alone meeting. Because we are usually only given an hour or two to meet during full DNC meetings, the Western Region traditionally holds regional meetings away from the full DNC, where we focus more squarely on Western issues.

I'm loving Dem Notes...keep stopping by here. We have a short attention span and so much to look at that it's easy to forget the good stuff. Glad you're passing through and your message of unity is resonating. It's time. Thank you for all that you do.

Tim, You have me bitting myself! I am so charged that I feel like getting my cane and going out to help our lovely Democrats. I have to stay in most of the time but I can use the phone, write letters,and work the Computer. I will do all I can and pray for all to do more.
