Constitutional Amendment on Collective Bargaining

A petition is being circulated to bring a constitutional amendment to the voters on the November ballot which would protect the ability of workers to organize and collectively bargain contracts with their employers. This push is in response to nationwide GOP efforts to destroy unions, thereby diminishing the middle class. Placing it on the ballot requires the collection of 322,609 signatures, which have to be submitted by early July. For more information, click here.

Looking ahead to 2012

Please join us as we begin to gear up for the critical 2012 elections. We want to keep our members informed on the issues and on the people who are vying to represent us. Contact Travis Radina and let him know how you would like to be involved, and if you are interested in running for office. As we progress through 2012, check back frequently with this website for information on candidates, issues and volunteer opportunities.

Also in 2012, apart from election activities, we are planning to again:

• Host Texas Hold’Em tournaments at the Ledge Meadows Poker Room.
• Have three Adopt-A-Highway Cleanups
• Staff the Party's booth during the Eaton County Fair.
• Have a Golf Outing.
• Hold our sixth Annual "Democrats in Action" Dinner.
