You don't want to miss this!

Because today is 9/11, I can't write without paying my respects to the many lives lost and the many brave people who were affected by this tragedy. Their lives and that day will forever be ingrained in our memories.

We are excited to welcome Kevin de Leon, the Democratic leader in the California State Senate, as our guest in September but before we do, there are a few things I want to clarify. We have raised our prices for this event because it is a fundraising event FOR THE PAC. Senator de Leon is not receiving an honorarium nor is he receiving a donation for his appearance. (Nor has he asked for one.) We have invited Senator Feinstein to speak to the PAC as well, and she is taking our invitation seriously but, because of the U.S. Senate calendar, she has scheduling issues. She has not said no. Finally, this is a fundraising event that will help us give more money to Democratic House and Senate candidates so that we can help TURN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE BLUE!

With that said,

PLEASE JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL EVENING...

Dear DemOC PAC Members and Friends,

AND THEN THERE WAS

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S VISIT...

Several DemOC PAC members and friends were lucky enough to attend and volunteer at this special event with President Obama this past Saturday. Below are a few of the pictures they shared. There are more on our Facebook page, along with the live feed. It's hard to believe that the President kicked off his Congressional campaigning in Orange County...we hope he will return!

His message? Get a clipboard! Let's get out and volunteer for our candidates! We all need to do that in order to win in under two months! The weather is cooling off...let's hit the streets or hit the phones or hit the headquarters!

ARTICLE
I know this is off-topic, but I was moved by what happened on the tennis court on Saturday and, after reading this article, wanted to share it with EVERYONE. So, indulge me, and, if you feel so inclined, share your thoughts with me (you can respond to this email).

News Update!

08/09/18 10:08

Did you see President Obama today, speaking frankly and wonderfully in Illinois about the dreadful Trump? Tomorrow he will be HERE, in Orange County, for the kick-off of his national tour for DEMOCRATIC congressional candidates. While a few of us will be in Anaheim to see him, many will be watching the live stream or waiting to see it on the news. Wherever we are, I know we are happy knowing he is out on the stump, working for us, helping to get our candidates elected and, hopefully, swing the House (and maybe the Senate) back into Democratic hands. I cannot wait for those of us who were there to share their experiences at our next meeting. (See Fran Sdao's note below on why Obama tickets were hard to get.)

Regarding our upcoming meting on September 26 (yes, it's a Wednesday)...for those of you who have asked, we have also invited Senator Feinstein to speak to the PAC and we are in discussions with her staff about a possible visit. No dates are yet set but we will keep you posted so stay tuned.

Our next meeting is a very exciting event...

Dear DemOC PAC Members and Friends,

REGARDING OBAMA'S VISIT...

Here is part of a note from Fran Sdao, Democratic Party Chair, regarding President Obama's September 8 visit...

"We are honored that President Obama selected Orange County to kick off his midterm campaign tour and set a national tone for the Democratic Party. President Obama will be speaking to all Americans, and especially to all of us in Orange County and California.

"Campaigns do need our volunteer support across OC, every day of the week. I encourage you to use this opportunity in the spotlight to volunteer yourself and to recruit more volunteers and resources for our Democratic candidates up and down the ballot. Most important, get everyone you know to vote. Turnout will be critical to Democratic success in November!

Here is what Fran had to say about Obama tickets: ..."Now the bad news: There are no publicly available seats for Saturday's rally; there will be no tickets given at the door. Each of the seven "hot" Congressional campaigns got an allotment of tickets for their volunteers and a slim handful were given to the four County parties."

ARTICLE
Take a look at this article, which was in today's New York Times...most of it was written when we had our meeting with Harley Rouda!

The Latest News!

03/09/18 13:34

Can you believe it is Labor Day Weekend? How did that happen? So much activity in our FOUR House seats and around the country. Will the Blue Wave happen as we hope it will? I truly believe that the answer lies in turnout and work. We need to be so diligent...in our districts and throughout the nation...to keep the activism alive and the money flowing. If you have not yet volunteered with one of the campaigns to do phone calls and/or canvassing -- please do so this weekend or after you have enjoyed the holiday. GETTING OUT THE VOTE will be imperative for this mid-term, as you know. We have been talking about this since the awful election of 2016. There are just weeks left before the election. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. If you are already volunteering, thank you for all your great work!

Our next meeting is a very exciting event...

THE TRUMAN DINNER WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

At least 25 DemOC PAC members were lucky enough to join with 1,000 OC Democrats last Saturday evening to celebrate that OC is no longer the Red County it once was. We were joined by Congressman Adam Schiff (CA-28, Pasadena), who gave us a rousing speech. It was exciting to see and hear the Minority Leader of the House Intelligence Committee in person. We also saw Betty Yee, Kevin de Leon, all FOUR of our congressional candidates and so many local candidates. It was a stellar evening. We were also lucky enough to be addressed by candidate for State Superintendent of Education Tony Thurmond, who was especially exciting and uplifting and, if you have the chance, you should go out of your way to see him. Thank you to the Democratic Party of Orange County for a wonderful evening.
