Dear DuPage Dems,


It's not often we get to join together to share successes and plans for future accomplishments. Even if you have considered not attending the Central Committee Meeting tomorrow, please consider reconsidering!

We have lots to share with you about events and strategies. We have a lot to learn from your tales of being on your block, at your work's water fountain, and in discussions with friends and family.

Many positive things are happening in Illinois and in this country because Democratic vision is one that is not narrow but peripheral. It seeks to stop distributing the wealth upward but rather outward. Our president, governor and other officers are striving to make things begin to chug forward again but they need your voice, your pen, your legs to make these visionary changes reality.

Don't slip back now just because we have a president who can walk and chew gum at the same time. We have a great task but one that can be very fun and rewarding if we get together, share our stories, offer our advice on how to plan better next time and work that plan until Democrats with a vision for all are in office in DuPage.


THANKS!
See you tonight.


Bob Peickert, DPDC Chair
