1. Bush and McSame update-You can run, but you can't hide!

The promise of massive protests made President Bush and John McCain chicken out of a joint fundraiser at the Phoenix Convention Center, but the protests will go on. We want to tell Bush/McCain that they can run, but they can't hide!

According to Channel 12 News (KPNX), a spokesman for McCain¹s campaign confirmed that it was moved so "the event would not be subjected to protests."

Well, they might not want to hear it, but we still want to tell the President and McCain what we think!

We're going to protest them when they appear at a Mesa business early Tuesday afternoon, to tell the President and McCain to stop shipping good American jobs overseas!

Afterward, we'll meet in downtown Phoenix later for the planned rally and march, to tell them that this state and country don¹t want more of the same!

This visit is a remarkable opportunity to show the rest of the country that John McCain will cozy up to anyone - even the most unpopular President in history - if he thinks it will get him one step closer to the White House. Please join us and bring all of your friends!

The Arizona Democratic Party will have shuttles running to and from our headquarters at 2910 N. Central Avenue to the protest downtown starting at 3 p.m. on Tuesday. For more information about the protest details, please visit: www.azdem.org/events/757

To RSVP to the shuttle, email Amanda Jaksich at [e-mail] or call [phone].

2. Electrifying Rally!

Wow - I was lucky enough to go to the Rally in Phoenix! There was a huge crowd estimated at 13,000 people---young, elderly and of all races. It was an absolutely electrifying experience. Only 3 weeks to go and I know Obama will be our next President. Change at last!
