Come join us at the Heritage Festival today or tomorrow and meet our candidates and "sign up and sign on." We're having a great time this weekend and it's just a very positive thing to be doing right now.
There's much positive energy down there, Eric Abrahamson and our legislative candidates are all there and want to meet you and hear your concerns and encouragement!
Senate 33 Candidate Dennis Finch at the booth.
Jeff Nelsen and DIA member Jocie Baker enjoy the shade of the PenDem tent.
Candidate Theresa Spry (Senate 35) is the welcome alternative to nationally-infamous incumbent Bill Napoli (R).
Tom Katus (Dist 32 Senate), Eric Abrahamson (Lt Governor), and Dennis Finch (Dist 33 Senate) yesterday evening at the booth. You can tell it's really been fun. Come out and join us!
I hope these pictures give you an idea of the level of excitement down there; Democracy In Action and South Dakotans against Discrimination both have booths, too.
The PenDems were very well represented at the Heritage Festival parade today, we had more cars than the other guys and saw a lot of friendly waves back at us!! We're on a roll to changing things this year, that is for sure.

Candidates Jeff Nelsen (Dist 33 House) and Suzan Nolan (Dist 32 House) demonstrate that red is a good color for Democrats too.

Candidates Catherine Ratliff (Dist 30 Senate) and Jerry Bloomer (Dist 30 House) also look great in red! Go Catherine and Jerry!
Speaking of the parade, we haven't seen any Republicans at the Festival this weekend. But if you see any, here's a homework assignment: ask them about what message was Gov. Rounds (R) sending this morning in the Heritage Festival parade with the huge Hummer limo? That his recent words to Western governors about renewable energy, energy independence and global warming were that, just words? (BTW, we learned that Eric Abrahamson is logging his many miles around the state in a hybrid vehicle. Actions speak louder than words!)
Moral of the story? Back Jack! Come to the picnic next Saturday July 8!!!!)
