Meeting Agenda for September 18, 2008 PDF Print E-mail
The Amherst Democratic Town Committee meets this Thursday, September 18 , at 7 p.m. at the Bang's Community Center's Pole Room — NOT in the Jones Library.
All Democrats are welcome.



Our meeting agenda will focus on two items:

1) Local Obama campaign efforts and volunteer opportunities;

2) Defeating Question One -- the November ballot initiative that, were it to pass, would eliminate the state income tax (which makes up 40% of all state revenues.  For information about the No On One Campaign, see http://votenoquestion1.com or attend the Amherst No On One Campaign kickoff this Tuesday (9/16) at Noon in the UMass Campus Center.



Remember to vote in the state Democratic primary on Tuesday, September 16. This is a pretty low-key election for us locally since neither Stan Rosenberg nor Ellen Story have primary challengers.  However, it is important to remember that we have a primary contest this year for U.S. Senate (John Kerry's current seat; Ed O'Reilly, challenger) and Congress (John Olver's current seat; Bob Feuer, challenger).
