The County Party is committed to changing the landscape in West River, a landscape that is, let's face it, not so great for Democrats. South Dakota legislative districts are drawn against us and we need to grow more Democrats and Democratic supporters in all of them.
To that end, all are invited, strongly encouraged to help us build a monthly regular income so we can secure our place in West River. Just being there during election season is not enough; we must be a "on the scene" with a visible office and presence. This can only happen with a regular income. That's where you come in.
Our goal is to sign up 100 Democrats to give a regular contribution through ActBlue. You can do this using your credit card or your VISA/MC bank card, and it's very easy to do and maintain. ActBlue has been a great resource for our candidates, and may have been one of the keys to our wonderful Democratic gains, from the Presidency on down in 2008. It doesn't have to be large, a $10 per month contribution from 100 Democrats will be enough to pay the rent, phone and internet needed for our permanent office in a visible part of Rapid City.
We can do this -- and we are well on our way!
Yes, we can!
