So now that you are fired up, I'd like to ask you to join us. The first event planned is a family style BBQ at Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach on August 3rd. Several democratic politicians will be in attendance, including my new favorite hero, Glenn Nye (oh man, but won't it be nice to shut down Thelma's machine?). You can go here to RSVP for the event.
You can also sign up to receive email updates and information by emailing Susan at hamptonroadsdemocrat@yahoo.com or you can keep abreast by checking out my blog The Liberal Life of a Navy Wife. I will be blogging about our activities and putting out information on events we have planned. We are hoping to have some house parties and coffees so if you'd like to host one, that would be wonderful!
I am so excited and proud to be part of this effort to elect Obama. As a veteran and military spouse, heck, as a progressive gal and a mom, a daughter, a homeowner, and someone who cares about her community, it is beyond exhilarating to be able to play the smallest part in the process that helps to elect more Democrats into office. My mother always did say that Republicans support militarism. Democrats support the military. I have never felt that to be truer than in the last 8 years.
Please, please pass this information on to anyone who wants to be added to our listserv. Again they can email Susan or myself (Vgalady@aol.com). Personally, I'm just really looking forward to working with others within our military community in Hampton Roads to elect someone who will actually look after our welfare and not just use us as publicity backdrops to be used and then forgotten till the next election.
