SE Berks Democrats
About the Author
A Club for Democrats in the southeastern portion of Berks County, PA. We meet the first Tuesday of the month at 7PM in the dining room of the Friendship Hook and Ladder Fire Company, 10 S Warwick Street, Boyertown, PA.

I'm honored to be running as a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention in the 6th Congressional District, pledged to Barack Obama. I've been a grassroots supporter of Senator Obama's for years, having first contributed to his campaign in 2004 when he was running for Senate from Illinois. I admired his courage in opposing the Iraq War in 2002, when that was a risky stance to take, and I am proud to be part of his campaign of hope.

I am Co-Chair of Berks for Obama, www.berksforobama.com, and currently working hard to register voters in advance of the March 24 deadline for voting in the Primary.

I've never run for anything before, and don't think I ever will again, but I would love to attend this historic convention in Denver, representing the 6th CD and Berks County, and I ask for your vote on April 22. Thank you!
I had a great time at the dinner last night with my Democratic friends, and fellow volunteers and activists. Seamus McCaffery, candidate for PA Supreme Court gave a funny and inspiring talk that really made us think about the importance of the various races for judges. Judge McCaffery pointed out that these are TEN YEAR positions, but that many voters pay no attention to them. We have the chance to take a Democratic majority on the PA Supreme Court this year if we elect Judge Debra Todd and Judge McCaffery. Judge Todd would be the first Democratic woman ever on the PA Supreme Court. We must get out the vote for her.

We must also elect our three candidates for Superior Court. There is no excuse for ignorance on these races--all these candidates have informative websites, where you can read their resumes, their opionions, and newspaper articles about them. One candidate's spouse told me that 20% of Dems don't go on down the line and vote for their judge candidates, but that the Republicans always vote for their judges. These races are important--you can learn more about these candidates here:
