Are you frustrated with the outcome of the November elections?
Do you feel like you don't have a voice?
Do you want to actually make a difference?
There is only one way:
get involved in your local party. At local Democratic party gatherings, you will meet fellow Democrats spanning the spectrum from friendly Kucinich supporters to those awful DLCers (:P), you will learn how to be effective advocates, and you'll have a good time. And with your support and input, the party, the state, and the nation will change for the better.
Just to give you
absolutely no excuse not to do this, here is a list of the local Democratic party websites. Find your county, go to the website (or email the chair), and
go to the meetings.
Thank you.

Yamhill County DemocratsNote: If you live in a vacant county, this means that the Democratic Party of Oregon is looking for a resident to
be the Chair of that county. In addition to running their own county, Chairs are automatically delegates to the State convention, and are involved in elections to the national organization (the DNC). Applicants in vacant counties should contact the DPO at (503) 224-8200.
