Meeting Recap!

Dear Dems,

This is it, guys. The last week. The work that we put into this election can determine its outcome– for better or worse. Every spare hour of your time needs to be spent on this election. Please make it a goal to make at least 100 phone calls between now and election day. Anytime– get out to headquarters at 208 N. Main St conveniently located in downtown next to Sharkey’s, across from Hokie Hair.

Volunteer between now and the election– sign up here: https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1256698525041


And tomorrow let’s TAILGATE with CREIGH DEEDS!! We’ll be in Lot 1 (between Cassel and McComas) in space 327. There will be food and drinks (absolutely NO alcohol for unders) and games and all around fun! The excitement starts at 4 pm. Facebook event: http://vt.facebook.com/event.php?eid=163191168348&index=1

Thanks to Krisha Chachra and Frank Lau for speaking at the meeting last night– that concludes our Town Council speaker series! I hope everyone knows a little bit more about each of the candidates and can decide who to vote for on Tuesday.

Fill out the Green Fund survey to voice your opinion about adding a small fee onto tuition to fund green initiatives at VT: http://studentvoice.com/vtech/sgagreenfee09

Now, please take a moment and imagine Bob McDonnell winning this. Imagine that feeling. And imagine a Virginia run by Bob McDonnell. Let’s not have any regrets next Wednesday.

See you at HQ!

Last Meeting before Election….TONIGHT

Young Democrats,

TONIGHT. It’s the last YD meeting before the election. We have exactly ONE WEEK until this thing is over. Any free time you have should be spent at the Democratic HQ downtown making phone calls and knocking on doors. Come out tonight and we’ll talk about what YDs will be doing this week and on Election Day.

Oh, and we’re going to be having some VIPs make last minute stops with us this week….ever wanted to sit down and have a beer with Creigh Deeds? Yeah, you can do that this Thursday at the football tailgate he’ll be attending. Bob McDonnell is also coming to this game so this is big. I’m talking like sticker war. RALLY THE TROOPS!

We will also have town council candidates Krisha Chachra and Frank Lau speaking at our meeting tonight!
See you tonight in Brush Mountain A at 9 pm!

Great Debate CANCELED

Dear friends,

I am sad to announce that the Great Debate has been canceled. Unfortunately, the Political Science Club encountered a mixup regarding the date of the venue reservation.

This is very disappointing to everyone who has worked so hard preparing for this event. Thank you to our YD debate team for your dedication. I am deeply sorry that you will not get the opportunity to present the information you worked tirelessly to compile.

See you all tomorrow night.

Kathleen Newbould
