Dear DemOC PAC Members and Friends,

I cannot wait to gather together on Tuesday, there is so much to talk about and celebrate! As of this writing, we have won two House seats in the OC...Congratulations to our candidates, call them Congressmen Harley Rouda and Mike Levin! Two more are still counting as Katie Porter gets closer to Mimi Walters (and we hear she might pass her early next week) and Gil Cisneros is inching closer to Young Kim!

(In addition, we have many victories in the cities...PAC members Sharon Wallin and Farrah Khan have won seat on the Irvine School Board and City Council, respectively, and Cottie Petrie Norris is ahead in the count for an unprecedented win in the State Assembly. Wow!)

I have not taken my eye off the terrible human toll taken these past weeks with the dreadful multiple shootings. And now the fires. On Election Day I was honored to meet David Hogg, one of the leaders of the Parkland survivors, who chose Irvine to help get out the vote. And I do believe, with the flip of the House, change will begin. Do you know that as of today, 27 NRA-backed members of Congress lost their jobs on Tuesday? That is a win!

Please join us for a little meeting and a lot of partying when we have a pot luck dinner, a raffle (bring cash) and some fun....

Thanks!

Dear DemOC PAC Members and Friends,

Tomorrow is Election Day and I know we all have various ways of coping with this extremely meaningful and important election. Some are still working into the wee hours and through the night for their candidate. Some are glued to the TV or exercising or cooking or sleeping or gardening or...if you are me, you have a trade show tomorrow and you are making tortellini? (For those who don't know me I am in the food business.) That I have to be at a trade show on Election Day is ridiculous....but when I can, I will obsessively watch TV, post on Facebook and read everything in sight.

A BIG THANK YOU!!!

Before the votes are counted, I want to thank everyone for everything you have done. Thanks to our great Democratic candidates and for everyone in the PAC for supporting them in myriad of ways. Thank you for your donations, for coming to the meetings, for your activism, for participating and believing, for marching and for being there since we reconvened in January, 2017 and started this crazy ride to this 2018 election. We aren't through yet...onward to 2020! I look forward to getting together post election but I really wanted to say thank you to everyone before the election tomorrow. I really appreciate you, as does our entire Executive Committee....Lita

I cannot wait to see you next week!

I cannot believe we are finally there...that we are voting on Tuesday (or before!) and I am too superstitious to even ponder the outcome! With fingers crossed, all good luck charms scattered about and, most important, donations made and everyone walking and calling and working to help all our candidates bring it home....we have been working toward this day for nearly two years! So let's look forward to a happy election night. And then to our post-election get together....

Final 2 Weekends...

27/10/18 10:41

As we approach the final 2 weekends of this campaign it is difficult to fathom what has happened and what dominates the news. Bombs? An attempt at mass assassination? How do we assimilate this? We all know what we think. That the hateful rhetoric of this president has brought about this madness. All I can say is, it is more important than ever to keep up our activism, stay out there, stick with our candidates, keep walking, keep calling, keep giving, keep burying crystals if that works....do what you do so that on Tuesday,
November 6, we have done all that we can to turn the Congress BLUE!

And we look forward to seeing you at our

post-Election meeting
Tuesday, November 13 at 6:30 pm.
for relaxation, hopeful celebration,
talking and winding down
Place to be announced.

(NOTE: If you have a home that can hold 80-100 people and would like to host more of a party than a meeting, please contact me by responding to this email.)
