Democrats are trusting individuals who care about less fortunate folks and try to help them. Becoming a Precinct\u00a0Captain.\u00a0or Candidate, volunteering at HQ, making phone calls, passing out slates, doing literature drops, Voter Registration drives, and donations early on to candidates is critical. As your Greene\u00a0County Democratic Party we\u2019re happy for donations anytime but those that are \u201cSupporting Members\u201d (Those who consistently donate yearly to maintain our HQ and the expenses involved, are Solid Gold Democrats.)<br><br>We need volunteers\u00a0at the Board of\u00a0Elections as poll workers, rovers, logic &amp; accuracy testing, and the list goes on. <br>\u00a0This is another way to support not only our Party but our Democracy.<br><br>The ultra-conservatives use\u00a0lies, fear-mongering, and division to lather up their crazy extremists. \u00a0To gain and maintain their extreme views these ultra-conservatives use voter suppression tactics to keep legitimate voters from voting\u00a0and use\u00a0intimidation and\u00a0bullying against those who disagree with them.<br>Get out of your comfort zone. Get informed on the events worldwide as well as local. The Nazis took over Germany using the same tactics the conservatives are using. Turning Americans against each other so they can divide and conquer. \u00a0Be loud and proud of being liberal open-minded people. Encourage other liberal-minded individuals to sign up for our newsletter and participate. Each election is a dress rehearsal for the next, to do things better.<br><br>The upcoming election is \u201cNon-Partisan\u201d and Republicans would have you believe party doesn\u2019t matter but it does!\u00a0 Here in Greene County, there are\u00a0107 republicans running against 29 Democrats. \u00a0This overpowering number is designed\u00a0to keep their death grip on policy and government at the grassroots level. If you don\u2019t like the ultra-conservative\u00a0and Republican agenda,\u00a0you need to run for office yourself or at least donate and campaign for a candidate. Fair Districts and Bipartisanship only work for Republicans\u00a0if they are getting \u201ceverything\u201d and giving Democrats \u201cnothing.\u201d<br><br>Remember this will never end and we can never give up. Stay Safe, stay healthy.<br><br>Yours in solidarity,<br><br>Doris Adams, Chair Greene County Democratic Party<br>\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0Participation is the key to a strong party.
