Washington County Dems Stand Up To Be Heard

Excerpt “Since January, a grass roots progressive movement has emerged from the shadows in Washington County. Fueled by the Grothman and Walker/Kleefisch recall campaigns and reactions to the draconian changes the regressive right wing of the GOP has used to impale Wisconsin public workers, Democrats and Independents are being joined by disaffected moderate Republicans to find a more reasonable path for Wisconsin’s future. A much more robust Democratic Party of Washington County is now alive and well. ”

ALL ARE WELCOME TO COME!

Our county party can select up to 10 resolutions to submit to our 5th Congressional District Convention. The other counties in the 5th CD will do the same. Our Congressional District Convention will vote on and select up to 10 resolutions to submit to the State Party Convention, where they will be voted on by the state delegates.

We will be voting on our 10 resolutions at the next County Party meeting, on Wednesday, March 21st. In the interest of time, I will be sending out a preview of the proposed resolutions to the membership on Sunday, March 18th. This will give members an opportunity to read through them and prepare to discuss and vote on them on the 21st.

I would like proposed resolutions sent to me by Friday, March 16th so I can group them by topic and send them out to the membership. You are still able to propose additional resolutions from the floor on the 21st. However, if you do, please bring 25 copies of your resolution to the meeting. If you have questions or would like help putting together a resolution, please contact Waring Fincke at wrfincke@charter.net or 262-334-1030.

Thank you!

West Bend Daily News printed an article featuring the grand opening party of the Democratic Party of Washington County’s NEW office. Part 1 and Part 2.

The article reports that 85 people were there. Our sign in sheets have us at over 101. Some people didn’t get a chance to sign in. During the inspirational speeches of Kathleen Vinehout and Mike Tate, there were people standing because there was no more room to sit or even to put chairs. There were people standing in the door way as well.

The newspaper claims this is our “war office”. It is better described by our chair, Tanya Lohr as our “community action center”. We are taking action to save our community and our state!
