On Tuesday, January 24th, President Obama will give his State of the Union address.
Can you have a few people over to watch? All it takes is a little bit of time to prepare and some enthusiasm for bringing people together. Making sure everyone watches the speech, and has the opportunity to connect as President Obama lays out his agenda for the next year, is an important part of our campaign plan. These parties are easy to put together. You’ll be able to decide how many people you can comfortably host, and we’ll provide you with tools to promote the event. We’ll talk you through what to expect and how to prepare for that night — including a conference call with other hosts beforehand to share tips and ideas. This requires a basic commitment from you, but no previous experience doing this kind of thing — even if you’ve never hosted an event like this before, the campaign staff will make sure you have the tools and resources you need to make your party successful. A party in your neighborhood is one big way to energize the campaign where you live. We’re aiming to have thousands of parties like it across the country. But it will only happen if someone steps up to make it happen. Sign up here if you can host: http://my.barackobama.com/Host-a-SOTU-Watch-Party Thanks for all you do, Jeremy Jeremy Bird |

So…here is the info that you need to mark on your September calendar!
What – A General Meeting of the Currituck County Democratic Party
When – Monday, September 26th at 7:00 p.m.
Where – The Currituck County Judicial Center – Courtroom B
This is our “Fall Kickoff Meeting” and you will not want to miss it! More information will be coming in a few days from your Currituck County Chair, Janet Taylor.
Greetings Currituck Democrats!
It’s not everyday that Currituck County is visited by a state candidate, but that is exactly what we have planned for our September 24th general meeting! We are honored to have Leto Copeley, a candidate for judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals in 2010, to be our guest speaker.
When you read the attached announcement, I believe you will not want to miss this opportunity. Many of you have expressed the desire to know more information about the candidates running for state office, especially judges, who run non-partisan. Well folks, here is a golden opportunity to meet this outstanding and most capable candidate! Please share this information with your friends and neighbors, and let’s give Ms. Copeley a warm, Currituck County welcome! The public is invited to attend.
The agenda for our meeting is still “a work in progress,” but will be coming your way in a few days. Your county officers have been busy, and some exciting announcements are being finalized.
Please mark your calendar for September 24th-7:00 PM, at the Judicial Center, Courtroom A, 2801 Caratoke Hwy, Currituck, NC 27929.
Best Regards,
Becky

An important meeting of the Currituck County Democratic Party will be held on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. at the Judicial Center in Currituck, Courtroom B.
All Currituck County Democrats, County Officers and Executive Committee Members of the Party are encouraged to attend this important meeting.
The meeting is significant because candidates for any of the county offices that will be on the ballot in 2010, should indicate their intent to run to the Currituck Democratic Party. All persons who are thinking about running as a Democrat for a county office should attend and state their intent to the party membership. Each potential candidate will be given an opportunity to speak and should be prepared to answer questions posed by the party membership.
If more than one (1) person announces his/her candidacy for a position, the Democratic Party will not make an endorsement of a candidate until after the Primary on May 4, 2010.. If only one (1) Democrat files for a specific office, then the Party will begin immediately after the filing deadline passes to work with that individual by providing support. If no one announces candidacy for an office by January 12, the Party will immediately begin to recruit a candidate to file for the office. (Filing begins Feb. 8th at noon and ends Feb. 26th at noon)
We want to be the Party “United For A Brighter Tomorrow” for what is best for every citizen of Currituck County.. The Party requests all Democrats’ efforts and commitments to help achieve this goal.
If you are planning to announce intent as a Democratic candidate for any County Office, please contact me prior to January 12, to make sure you are recognized and have the opportunity to speak. I await your phone calls with great excitement and anticipation as we move forward to the General Election on November 2, 2010.
Please put this important date (January 12) on your calendar and plan to attend.. This is an exciting time for the Democratic Party of Currituck County and I look forward to hearing from you!
Yours for Currituck County,
Becky Woodhouse. Howard,
Chair, Currituck Co. Democratic Party
