Spring Seacoast Dems Meeting and Pot Luck - speaker Sam Spencer

Wednesday, 02 April 2008

Sam Spencer

On April 12 we will host the Spring Seacoast Democratic Meeting and Pot luck. Our speaker at this meeting is Sam Spencer. He will discuss a national topic; What to do as a Superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention. He is one of Maine's uncommitted superdelegates. www.samspencer.org

Sam grew up in Standish and in Portland. He served on President Clinton’s White House staff and was a Special Assistant to Vice President Al Gore.

Sam was elected to the Democratic National Committee in May of 2004.

From 4:00 - 4:30pm, the York Democratic Town Committee will meet.

See you there!

***

From the Desk of the York Democratic Town Chair:

It is not easy to get Democrats to attend a meeting 7 months before a national election. Most of us have tuned out Chris Mathews and are paying little attention to the presidential race..at least until Pennsylvania has weighed in. Time with our families and friends, chores, rest and relaxation all compete for precious Saturday afternoon hours.

Praise once again to Lydia Blume who in the midst of starting a new job with the coordinated campaign; organized us, enisted super delegate Sam Spencer to be our special guest and inspired us to produce a feast of edibles.

We sat round the tables, we relaxed on sofas, we talked and we learned.
Most importantly we were reminded that we must collectively put our efforts into electing a Democratic president, US senator and Congressman as well as Democrats to Maine state government. We only have 7 months so we must work and work smart.

And let us not forget the issues that motivate us; Ending Bush’s war, universal health care and a new policy to save our precious environment.

Stop in at the Seacoast Democrats headquarters and talk with us about how you would like to help.

Chair of the York Democratic Town Committee

Seacoast Dems Gastronomic Delight

Thursday, 20 March 2008

York residents Sandell and Dick Morse hosted a culinary arts demonstration by a local gourmet chef. His wife, a sommelier, introduced South African wines to compliment the dishes. The event was both a "thank you" to doners and a fundraiser to ensure the ongoing financial stability of the Seacoast Democratic headquarters.

Tom Allen, who is running for a critical senate seat against Susan Collins, was the featured guest. His impassioned speech convinced us that his win in November is essential to creating a democratic majority in the legislature and inspired us to work for his senate election.

Support Your Local Candidates In 2008

Monday, 03 March 2008

Many of these candidates are running as clean elections candidates. In order to qualify for public financing these candidates must collect a number of $5 qualifying contributions from registered voters in their district (Ds, Us or Rs) in the next month. This year the ethics commission has created a way for supporters to make those qualifying contributions on line.

Won’t you please take a few minutes to show your support for our terrific candidates by going to http://www.maine.gov/online/ethics/cleanelection and making a contribution for the democratic State Senate and House candidate in your district? Just put in your street address and all the eligible candidates from your district are then listed for you. The candidates in our towns are listed below:

Peter Bowman , our respected and effective State Senator from District One (Kittery, Eliot, York, So. Berwick, Ogunquit), running for re-election. Likely opponent is Mary Black Andrews.

More Information: http://www.mainesenate.org/bowman/

Ron McAllister , State Representative District 150 (York), terrific new candidate, up against Republican Windol Weaver.

More Information: http://www.ronmcallister.org/

Dawn Hill , our hardworking and fabulous State Representative from District 149 (Ogunquit, western York and Kittery, and Moody), running for re-election. Likely opponent is Brad Moulton.

More Information: http://www.dawnhill.org/

Roberta Beavers , State Representative District 148 (Eliot and part of So. Berwick). Ran in 2006 against incumbent Republican Sally Lewin and lost by a mere 124 votes. Bobbi is running against her again for 2008.

More Information: http://www.robertabeavers.com/

Walt Wheeler, State Representative District 151 (Kittery). Our most experienced representative for the good people of Kittery. Running for re-election. Opponent unclear.

More Information: http://janus.state.me.us/house/hsebios/wheewa.htm

Fred Houle , State Representative candidate for District 147- Wells, running against incumbent Kathleen Chase. Fred is a political novice but we are attempting to establish a grassroots organization throughout Wells starting with our caucus attendees

Rick Burns , State Senate District 2 candidate running against incumbent Richard Nass. Senate District 2 runs from Berwick all the way to Parsonsfield with Wells being the largest town in the district. Rick is an established political dynamo having represented the town of Berwick in the state house for the last two terms. Together with Fred we want to establish a grassroots network from which both candidates can benefit.

More Information: http://www.maine.gov/legis/housedems/rburns/

Mark Eves has announced his candidacy to run for State Representative, house district 146, which covers all of North Berwick and two-thirds of South Berwick. Mark is a smart, compassionate voice for Mainers.

Mark's priorities include: access to affordable healthcare; revitalizing our educational system; and generating investment in renewable energy to help our economy and our environment.

He is running against Bonnie Gould.

Your can learn more about Mark at markeves.org
