Help for Homeless Children and The Party's Monthly Meeting

Help homeless children right here in our city.

Here is a way for the Obama Mamas and the rest of the Democratic Party to do kind works for our community, Lovee McGee is looking for these items coats, jackets, gloves and caps for homeless grade school children. Part of what made President Elect Obama’s campaign so important was the message of hope at the local level. Now our party can help out homeless children right here in our city by collecting donations for homeless children and making sure that they have hope. Lovee also suggested gift cards because homeless people cannot receive food stamps and she wants to provide the children with backpacks of food that they can take with them over the holidays. No young child in Albuquerque should be out on our city streets with no coat and no food. Just think how cold it was yesterday evening and how low the temperatures dropped last night we have until December 18 to collect these items and drop them off at the Party headquarters on 1301 San Pedro North East. Now is the time to provide hope for the future.

The Democratic Party of Bernalillo County Monthly Meeting

Yesterday evening was the monthly meeting of the Democratic Party of Bernalillo County. Some of our newly elected officials attended the meeting last evening.

Al Park who is a state representative spoke to the group about how important it is to keep the movement going after the election. He told how thrilling it was to work with the Obama groups when it came to getting out the vote.

Maggie Toulouse Oliver our county clerk also spoke at the meeting on the important of a movement to bring same day registration to our state so that no one is turned away from the polls on Election Day. Maggie Toulouse Oliver is a strong believer that every American should have the right to vote. She said now that the election is over her office has time to make improvements before the next big election. She would like to see the federal government devise a plan to track absentee ballots once they are in the mail system so as to be able to provide more accountability to voters about where their ballot is and when it will arrive in their mailbox.

Judge Clay Campbell and Judge Carl J. Butkus spoke for the District Court Judges. They thanked everyone who took the time to go to the bottom of the ballot this year and vote to keep our judges. Judge Campbell had also brought with him a few bags of coats and clothes for the homeless children. Clearly our judges are very supportive of their local communities.
