Election…April 2 is a big day for democrats across the state of Wisconsin. On that day we can make a change in the future by turning out to support Ed Fallone to the State Supreme Court for a 10-year term and Tony Evers as the State Superintendent of Schools. By voting for these two very qualified individuals we can put a damper on Scott Walker’s agenda and send a message to out-of-state billionaires Wisconsin will no longer allow you to buy Wisconsin government. In addition, you can vote for a number of nonpartisan candidates for local offices and boards. Make sure to select a candidate that is interested in carrying your values to the office they will hold. Do not miss this important election.
Seventy-two
county strategy…Shortly
into 2013 our state democratic chairman, Mike Tate, announced a new 72 County
Strategy that will set our party on the path to victory for 2014 and beyond.
This is a very sound strategy that includes taking back northern Wisconsin and
turning it blue again. We are an important part of that strategy. Right now the
Burnett County Democrats must work to develop a communications strategy that
will promote our presence and our values into the community. That will be a big
job. I am happy to say that Gail Lando has agreed to be our communications
chairperson. We are lucky to have such a competent individual to take on this
task. But, Gail cannot do the job alone. It will take all of us giving her a
hand. If you are interested in helping with our communications strategy,
contact me or attend a meeting and talk about your views. Gail is looking for
articles to appear in our local papers weekly. She is prepared to help you with
this task if necessary. In addition, Emily Nehring is already doing an
outstanding job managing our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BurnettCountyDems
and our blog at http://burnettcountydemocrats.blogspot.com/. If you have not visited these internet sites, I implore you to do so daily.
Don’t hesitate to leave your comments so others can share in your ideas. That
is one way we will begin the dialog to change minds and voting habits.
Mike
Tate noted that another strategy is to continue to grow our membership. Only
with a viable and active membership can we hope to win back Wisconsin. To help
Burnett County Democrats with that strategy, our Vice Chairman, Robert
Sullivan, has taken the challenge. Bob has agreed to work with our membership
lists to make sure everyone is current. He will also be implementing programs
to bring new members to the party. If you know of anyone who is a potential
member, perhaps your spouse or a friend, bring them to a meeting and let’s get
them involved.
New Regional
Director…As
part of the 72 County Strategy the DPW is setting up regional offices across
the northern end of the state. Currently new offices are planned for Green Bay,
Eau Claire and La Crosse. These offices are now being staffed and I have
already received an introductory letter from Jeff Smith who will be working
with us soon. Later this year or early next year additional offices will be
opened as funding becomes available, according to Mike.
New Meeting
Time…Our
next membership meeting will be March 19, 2013 at the Whitetail Wilderness
Restaurant & Bar located approximately one mile north of the village of
Webster on Hwy. 35. We are now starting the meeting at 6:30 p.m. and those interested
in dining before the meeting should arrive at 5:30 p.m. Come to the meeting and
get involved in the party.
