PERFORMANCE. RESULTS. ACTION.
300
MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT!
WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK SO PLEASE ATTEND!

AGENDA:
*Rounding up the first 300 days. Not surprisingly, thanks to all of your hard work and persistence, OTDB garnered more than 2/3's of the new recruits the County proudly told you about last week as well as contributed significantly to the uptick in candidates filing for office. GREAT JOB. Tonight we can take a few moments to pat ourselves on our collective backs and then start...
* Figuring out together our strategy for the NEXT 300 days and beyond! This will include discussion on:
  • Building dynamic precinct organizations
  • Determining the issues facing DuPage County
  • Helping candidates hone in on those issues to further galvanize Dem support from precinct to poll
  • Getting write-in candidates and newly slated PCs to the County Convention so OTDB's momentum can continue
  • Embracing ALL who are interested in principled, issue-based, accountable two-party government in DuPage
Your voice is vital!
