Many thanks to those who helped pass out slates for this Non-Partisan election – those who volunteered as Poll Workers, Rovers, logistics and accuracy testing, and those who provided added muscle at the Board of Elections.
Most people don’t realize that the amount of attention to detail and effort that goes into a Local Non-Partisan election is the same as a Presidential election. As soon as this election is finished and certified, we start preparing for the next election. (May 03, 2022 – Primary, then Nov. 08, 2022, Gubernatorial.)
Our party and our Democracy need you – when we participate by volunteering, getting informed, voting, and donating, we can make a difference. Democracy is messy but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The United States may be a young nation but we are the longest continuous democracy. Don’t let it fail because we get tired or depressed due to the conspiracy theories that so many believe in or due to the ignorance of folks in how elections take place. Keep talking to your neighbors, family, friends, and co-workers. “Truth matters here.” – Lt. Col. Vindman.
Our Democratic Party principles are people-oriented and worth struggling to put into place as well as talking to others about them. Patriotic Democrats are working to get to bottom of the January 6 Capitol attack while Republicans and others are busy trying to ignore what happened and put it behind them.
Unfortunately, Trump and his followers, with the complicit approval of many in the Republican party, have emboldened bullying behavior and the pushing of false narratives to create chaos, mutilate the truth, and divide society. Don’t let lies and bullying dissuade you from standing firm for our ideals and for sympathizing with those less fortunate. We have many battles to fight, keep up your courage, fight the good fight, and don’t ever give up.
Doris Adams, GCDP Chairman
