(CNSNews.com) - Ding-dong, there's a Democrat at your door: The Democratic National Committee says volunteers will go door-to-door in all 50 states on Saturday -- "to share the Democratic Party's bold vision for America and begin a series of conversations with the American people about the upcoming elections." | Oh, boy, do I have a conversation for them! |
"Neighbor-to-Neighbor Organizing Day" is part of the DNC's effort to gear up for the 2006 elections. The nationwide event is intended to build strong Election Day teams for 2006 and beyond -- a "lasting Democratic Party infrastructure."
"Politics is at its best when we work together to create and strengthen our community," said DNC Chairman Howard Dean who will join door-knocking teams in Charlotte, N.C., on Saturday. "Our National Organizing Day will bring together neighbors and communities as we mobilize for the fall elections to make sure that Democrats are elected up and down the ticket, throughout America." He said Democrats who knock on doors will tell their neighbors "what Democrats stand for, our vision for change, and the clear choice voters will face in November."
As part of the effort, Democrats plan to distribute "door hangers," which come in both English and Spanish/English versions and can be downloaded from the Internet. The door hanger promises "a bold new direction for a secure America."

It outlines six points of the "Democratic vision," including honest leadership, real security, energy independence, economic security/educational excellence, healthcare that works, and retirement security. The party says this will be the first national effort to reach out "door to door and neighbor to neighbor, all across America." |
