Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary offers understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

The April-May PenDem Voice is on the street!
The PenDem Voice newsletter should be arriving in your mailboxes. We are also encouraging folks to sign up by email or blog (to conserve trees, lower the PenDem "carbon footprint," and (of course) save up money for the 2008 election). You can view the newsletter online, on the West River Blue Blog.

Register a new Democratic voter today!
With the Presidential contest and all these great local Dem candidates, this is a great year to recruit independents and young voters into the Democratic fold. Many Independents and thoughtful Republicans are seeing that our Democratic values are what the nation needs right now to get our State and Nation back on the right track. Pennington County Dems will kick off a grassroots organizing effort to register voters before the historic June primary. Especially in Districts with uncontested races, we have a window of opportunity to get many more Democrats registered to vote in the Presidential Primary, so they will be with us in the fall! Watch for news on happenings in your legislative district over the next week.
