NEW MAIL LIST!

Join our new email communication list

32LDDemocrats@yahoogroups.com

 Taking after our friends in the 46th LD we are starting a new email list for communication in the district.  32nd LD Members look for an invitation to join 32LDDemocrats@yahoogroups.org . 

This is a mailing list where we can talk about the issues of the day, the business of the district, and anything else related to our local, state or national governments. But at the same time, we have set some guidelines for the list that we need you to be aware of. We will not tolerate racist language, publishing personal attacks with a reckless disregard for the truth, nor other ad hominem attacks. We just don't have the time for such distractions while we do the work of taking our country back for ALL the people. Please be respectful of others as you write. If you have any questions about this mailing list, please feel free to contact me at carin.chase@32democrats.org. 

 Let's build a better America and a better Washington together!

Carin
