Democratic Party Office
132 N Main Street
West Bend, WI 53095

* Starting at 6:45  PM,  Dennis Weidemann, author of “Cut From Plain Cloth: The 2011 Wisconsin Workers Protests” will be at the office to sell signed copies of his gorgeous memoir of the Wisconsin protests.  If you’ve already purchased a copy, bring it in and he’ll sign it.   He will also be talking to us briefly about the book at the start of the meeting. 

* We’ll be voting on our county party resolutions.  We have very interesting topics to debate and discuss including (but not limited to) Citizens United, the WRS, the School Funding Formula, Judicial Selection, and more!  I have attached the proposed resolutions I received electronically to this email.  Please read through them ahead of time so we can start discussing them right away.  I will have some copies available at the meeting, but I am assuming most people will print them at home.  You do need to be a member to motion and vote on these fascinating topics.  You are welcome to join at the door – $25/person or $35/pair. 

* We’ll be discussing our county’s plan for the upcoming Gubernatorial election.  We MUST defeat Scott Walker and in order to do that, we need a plan! 

* Please join us for this important meeting!  Contact Tanya Lohr with questions – telohr@charter.net or 414-467-8469.

Washington County Dems Stand Up To Be Heard

Excerpt “Since January, a grass roots progressive movement has emerged from the shadows in Washington County. Fueled by the Grothman and Walker/Kleefisch recall campaigns and reactions to the draconian changes the regressive right wing of the GOP has used to impale Wisconsin public workers, Democrats and Independents are being joined by disaffected moderate Republicans to find a more reasonable path for Wisconsin’s future. A much more robust Democratic Party of Washington County is now alive and well. ”

ALL ARE WELCOME TO COME!

Our county party can select up to 10 resolutions to submit to our 5th Congressional District Convention. The other counties in the 5th CD will do the same. Our Congressional District Convention will vote on and select up to 10 resolutions to submit to the State Party Convention, where they will be voted on by the state delegates.

We will be voting on our 10 resolutions at the next County Party meeting, on Wednesday, March 21st. In the interest of time, I will be sending out a preview of the proposed resolutions to the membership on Sunday, March 18th. This will give members an opportunity to read through them and prepare to discuss and vote on them on the 21st.

I would like proposed resolutions sent to me by Friday, March 16th so I can group them by topic and send them out to the membership. You are still able to propose additional resolutions from the floor on the 21st. However, if you do, please bring 25 copies of your resolution to the meeting. If you have questions or would like help putting together a resolution, please contact Waring Fincke at wrfincke@charter.net or 262-334-1030.

Thank you!
