We're gearing up for 2008.

Here we are, beginning a New Year which will bring a historic change in our national politics. It's time to get our membership drive off to a roaring start! After nearly doubling our previous membership highs in 2006 to a record of 618, we have an even loftier goal for 2008:

One thousand members!
And we can do it!

That's one thousand citizens in Jefferson County committed to putting new Democratic leadership (aka, the President) in Washington D.C. and to keeping our Democratic leadership in Jefferson County.

The first step is to have every one of you 2007 members re-join immediately.
