Welcome to the New Trier Dems Website

                                                       "We are who we've been waiting for."
                                                                             Barack Obama - 2008

At Issue:

What's next? The Primary Election is past. The Democratic
candidates are refining their campaigns for the battles they'll face leading up to November. Our candidates are smart, articulate and support progressive values. Their Republican opponents, with virtually no exceptions, will be claiming that the only way to move forward is to turn backward.

So what can we do to help make sure the Republican strategy of negative energy and self-centered solutions fails their candidates in November?  First, we can all decide to do everything we can to support the Democratic candidates we've chosen. Between now and Election Day, any time or financial support you can give to any of the campaigns will make a critical difference.

Volunteer. The New Trier Dems will be focusing on a fall victory with plenty of ways to get involved. In the coming months NTDO News (and the NT Dems website - click on the "Get Involved" drop-down) will be highlighting these volunteer opportunities.

Financial help is the lifeblood of every campaign and always welcome. So throughout this election year, this eNewsletter will be letting you know about key candidate fund-raisers.

Know your candidates' positions. Get to know where your
candidates stand on the issues and how they plan to deal with them. Visit their websites. The NTDO News will also be presenting their positions.

Know your candidates' opponents. Understanding the true positions of Republican Party candidates will not only make us better informed in political conversations, it should give us plenty of motivation to make sure they don't get elected!  Mark Kirk, Bob Dold, Roger Keats, Hamilton Chang, Bill Brady... some names are new to us in New Trier, and some are all too familiar. Learn where they really stand on the key issues affecting our lives such as environment, choice, health care, financial reforms. Then remember that your involvement can help keep them from achieving their vision of America.
