Jackson County Democratic Women's Caucus

September Quick Kicks from
The Jackson County Democratic Women’s Caucus
The Women’s Caucus has been working hard to increase our visibility at the same time that our members are putting in many volunteer hours working for our Democratic candidates’ campaigns.
On August 28th we had a table at the party your Jackson County Democratic Committee held at Jackson’s own Michigan Theater. There, with the help of newly installed digital technology, we and about 300 others enjoyed watching Senator Obama’s speech live, on the big screen, accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency of our great nation. It felt as if we were really a part of the Denver convention for that historic evening.
Our next project is a booth at the Fall Women’s Expo on Saturday, October 4th, at Parkside Fieldhouse from 10 am to 4 pm, where we will offer useful information provided by Senator Mark Schauer, Representative Mike Simpson, and Representative Marty Griffin, as well as voter registration and absentee ballot applications. In addition, courtesy of State Senator Mark Schauer, we will hold a drawing for an American Flag that has been flown over the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing.
One of our most important objectives this fall is to help Judge Diane Hathaway defeat Clifford Taylor for the Michigan Supreme Court in November. We believe that Justice Taylor and his cronies are firmly in the pockets of the insurance industry, and they do not fairly consider the cases that come before them. Please remind all your friends and acquaintances to turn the ballot over and vote the judges ballot. It’s time for a CHANGE.
Democratic Women are the Life of the Party – Keep on Kickin’

Message from the Chairman

Fellow Democrats,
I have just returned from the Democratic National Convention. It was such a tremendous privilege to be a part of history. The convention was well organized and the only glitch for the delegation was the transportation back to the hotel after the Invesco Field speech.
I was present at all of the Pepsi Center functions and the Invesco Field activities. The most emotional event for me was the appearance of “Teddy” Kennedy at the Pepsi Center on the first day of the convention. The Michigan Delegation was seated right up front and to the left if viewed from the podium. For some reason the DNC had Michigan and Florida up at the front of the convention. Go figure?
We are holding our F.D.R. Dinner on October 26, 2008 at the Commonwealth Commerce Center. This is a very important election year so we should have a great group of speakers who will help shape our Nation and State for the future. It is with regret that we were informed of the death of one of our great County Democrats. John Duane past away from A.L.S. and we are diminished!
There is a flyer in this publication for the F.D.R. Dinner. All county wide candidates are encouraged to fill out a candidate application to receive funds from the J.C.D.C.. We have money available for townships and county democratic candidates. If you do not apply you won’t get any. The available funds will be disbursed among the applicants
That's all for now.
Democratically yours,
Leonard Smigielski
