The primary election will be on May 4, 2010, and it's time to do the work that will make a difference this year!  We need significant voter registration to KEEP NC BLUE in 2010!

On Saturday, March 20th, the Orange County Democratic Party (OCDP) is hosting a voter registration drive in partnership with our friends at Organizing for America. The OCDP will be at the Carrboro Century Center from 12:30 - 5:00pm. We have two 90 minute shifts (1pm and 3pm) - we hope you'll sign up to work one or both of them!

Show up at the Carrboro Century Center a few minute before your shift begins. If you are not trained in voter registration, we'll take a few minutes to do that. It's EASY and FUN! Then we'll send you out to hit the pavement at local hot spots to find those folks who need to register or update their registration. When you're finished, you'll bring the completed registration forms back to the Century Center.

We hope to see you there!

REPORT FROM THE LEGISLATURE: The main purpose of the event is a report from our state legislative delegation about what has been happening in Raleigh. This year we will be using a new legislative “speed-dating” format that will give attendees the ability to speak with directly with their legislators about important state, local and national issues.

KEYNOTE FROM CONGRESS: There will be a keynote from Representative Price with the latest from Capitol Hill.

MEET OUR NEXT U.S. SENATOR: An opportunity to get a first impression of our 2010 U.S. Senate candidates (Cal Cunningham, Mayor Kevin Foy, Kenneth Lewis, and Secretary of State Elaine Marshall are all slated to attend), and a chance to talk one-on-one with local municipal candidates. Saturday October 17th, 8 am to 10 am
