The Democratic Party Booth at the Strawberry Festival is an
important piece of the party's outreach and visibility in the central
part of Orange County. The 3 day festival attracts over a quarter
million guests each year and each year the
68th AD PAC sponsors and staffs a
great booth to represent the party, its values and its candidates. We
invite local and statewide candidates to provide literature and invite
them and concerned Democrats to help finance this and the many other
actvities of the 68th AD PAC.

This year's Festival is May 22-25 so your prompt contributions are much
appreciated.

The City of Huntington Beach puts on the
largest 4th of July Parade in
the western United States. It attracts over 300,00 people to the parade
route and perhaps millions more viewing on television. The Democrats of
Orange County have for many years marched and had a float and band. We
are proud of the great presence we show in one of the most Republican
cities in the county and are proud of the many awards we have won there
in the past. This year is particularly important for the city as it
celebrates its 100th anniversary and for the Democrats of Orange County
as this year we can finally profess to more than 500,000 registered
Democrats in Orange County on our banner. The relative small cost of our
participation comes back many fold in the energy and inspiration of the
people seeing us and of those participating.
Our participation in this year's parade is
in great jeopardy due to remaining financial strains
from last's years campaign activities. We
urgently need your donations soon to make
deposits!!. At present, We have no way to take your
contributions online. You can get a form at
http://www.dcwoc.org/e107_plugins/survey/survey.php?1 print it out,
write "Parade Contribution" in the comments and mail it with a check to
the DCWOC (address on same page as the form).
While you cannot fully appreciate it without being present for the sounds,
the sun, the sea air and the great crowd interactions, you can view some
of my photos from previous parades on Flickr

The Democratic Party of Orange
County has great plans for this and coming years. The DPOC did some
really great work the past few years, we have to turn the great progress
made into more office holders and even more registered Democrats. We have some truly
great opportunities ahead of us and many very engaged Democrats
including a
strong volunteer force. However, to accomplish all that we want and need
to, we also need money. Please consider making a
donation
toward turning Orange County blue and giving the more than 1/2 million
Democrats of Orange County the representation that they deserve.
I also know that the margins of victory or losses in Orange County will
be major factors next year in getting or not getting the statewide
officers and propositions that we want, as well as impacting the
re-election of a favorite and very important U.S. Senator. We need the
party here to be strong for the benefit of the whole state, nation and
world. |
