The Spirit of Party Unity

Yesterday Senator Clinton threw her total support behind Senator Obama for president. We now have only one nominee in our party for president of the United States. We must now do everything in our power to elect our list of candidates this fall. The first thing is to get out and walk neighborhoods with our county party. Our county party leader Ana Canales is asking people to get out and talk to the voting public on the weekends.

“My Democratic Friends,

We now have our candidates! Now begins the real work, the real fight to make this state a BLUE State in 08. Senator Obama, Congressman Udall and Martin Heinrich - they all need our help along with some of our Democrats running for state representatives and state senators (Two of my personal favorites: Eric Griego and Victor Raigoza). Let's start now - we can't afford to take a breather. I am going to begin canvassing the South Valley. We will be canvassing in ward 14B starting this Sunday. Let's meet for breakfast at the Los Compadres restaurant (841 Isleta) at 9 AM or 9:30 if you are not having breakfast. We will distribute walking lists at that time and begin our canvass at 10 AM and end the canvass at 12 Noon. Everyone is welcome but I need as many Spanish speaking Hispanics as possible and we will pair you off with a non-Spanish speaker. It is getting hot, so make sure to bring water, hats and sunscreen. CANDIDATES - YOU ARE WELCOME TO WALK WITH US. This is going to be an ongoing project through November 4th, so if you can't come this weekend, then come next weekend. Let's do it - let's wake them up and get them out to vote!

Call me at 515-9662 or e-mail me at alcanales@comcast.net.

In the spirit of Democracy,
Ana Canales
Chair, Democratic Party of Bernalillo County”

I ask the people opening doors to hard working volunteers to welcome them and make their jobs easier by giving your support to the party. Let’s all show the Republican Party that we are one big family in Bernalillo County this November and that we are voting for real “Change.” If you missed today’s walk as I did then it is still not too late to help next weekend. I look forward to seeing my friends and fellow democrats next weekend.
