Spring ahead to help win on November 5!
** Take Action: Volunteer with the Fairfax Democrats! [[link removed]]
** Sun. Mar. 10: FCDC Democracy Savings Time & Pick Your Pony Straw Poll! [[link removed]]
Did you know, John, that an FCDC with money but without volunteers is relatively ineffective; likewise, an FCDC with volunteers but without money is equally ineffective? Let's be honest, we need money and volunteers this year and every year!
Fun (but fundraising, too): Our Sunday, March 10, Democracy Savings Time & Pick Your Pony Straw Poll [[link removed]] ( Mustang Sally Brewing, Chantilly [[link removed]] ) is an inexpensive fundraiser that will help us do what needs to be done to win big on and before November 5.
The afternoon includes live music from Split String Soup [[link removed]], a local Americana and Bluegrass group; a straw poll covering the Democratic primary races in the 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th congressional districts, plus next year's gubernatorial race; and a wide selection of beers from Mustang Sally Brewing [[link removed]], an award-winning craft brewery in Chantilly! Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available. Oh, and Yes, John, there will be plenty of food (and fun and voting)!
Volunteers: Fairfax County has the largest concentration of Democratic voters in the Commonwealth of Virginia - we account for 1 in 5 Democratic votes in statewide elections! By volunteering [[link removed]] with the local Democratic Party, you can help turn out these voters for the November 5 General Election. This Presidential year we can anticipate a 60 percent increase in Strong and Leaning Democratic voter turnout over last year. Don't kid yourself, John, many of this year's voters don't know that Senator Tim Kaine is on the ballot.
