The next monthly meeting is Thursday, November 12th at 4662 S. Clyde Morris Blvd., Port Orange (map). Social time is 6:30-7:00 p.m. and the meeting begins at 7:00 p.m.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! After the next Congress is sworn in, in January, Democrats will have a healthy majority the U.S. Senate and a very large majority in the U.S. House. State legislatures were flipped from red to blue across the country, and many Democratic governors were elected.
.
Even in Florida, things are looking up. Republicans no longer have a supermajority in either chamber of the state legislature. The U.S. Senate and governor’s races were very close, even though the Democratic campaigns were vastly outspent by the GOP.
At the meeting, we plan on having a Mid-Term Election Forum. There is 10-15 minutes set aside for members who canvassed,were poll watchers, greeters, or phone bankers to briefly discuss their reflections about working for the Mid-Term Election. You can also briefly discuss your reflections if you took part in our Democratic voter postcard initiative or about the election. We will have timer and 1.5 minutes will be given per speaker. Please have your reflections ready and I kindly ask that you stop when your time is up – thank you!
We will also spend time summing up participation in October election activities.
Two quick reminders: 1) please renew with PODC membership at the meeting (the cost is $25 in person and we will have membership forms for you to fill out) and 2) our annual festive meeting is next month, Thursday, December 10th.
