Be a part of this critical election: The Seacoast Democrats are working to coordinate a regional effort to support our forthcoming presidential candidate, US Senate candidate and dozens of local and regional candidates for office. For the next few months we will be meeting regularly to hear candidates speak, and offer phone banking, data entry, canvassing and general office support. We have recently expanding our office ours but we need more volunteers to keep the regional headquarters open full-time. Please become part of this effort. Important issues such as; the war in Iraq, the economy, public health care, and our environment policies have all been badly mis-managed over the last 8 years. It is time for a new democratic chapter of American history. This is your chance to make a lasting difference. Come over to the Seacoast Democrats office in Meadowbrook Plaza, York Maine. Two-hour shifts would be appreciated, but any time you can volunteer helps! We need phone-bank volunteers for these times: Tuesday, April 22 4pm - 8pm Thursday, April 24 4pm - 8pm Saturday, April 26 4pm - 8pm Tuesday, April 29 4pm - 8pm Thursday, May 1 4pm - 8pm Feel free to walk-in, or contact

Wednesday, 16 April 2008 |
 "We may need a bigger trash bag." Please come to the Earth Day beach clean-up of Short Sands Beach this Saturday April 19th at 1 pm. The Seacoast Democrats adopted Short Sands Beach in March 2007 and has now completed a year of clean-ups!!! The Earth Day clean up is organized by the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation and will include over 20 beaches up and down the Seacoast. Gloves, bags, and data cards are provided. The clean-ups last between 1-2 hours and are kid friendly. We meet at the ramp next to the playground at Short Sands Beach. We had 31 volunteers at our 1st clean-up but participation has waned since then. It would be great to have a crowd for this Earth Day event. Hope to see you there!! Any questions call Susan Wilson 363-1669

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. Victoria Simon Chair of the York Democratic Town Committee e-mail us at

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. Anyone who wishes to volunteer should contact
