6/23/08 YES YOU CAN!

Dear Democratic Friend,

Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama Troy 3has  made three public appearances in Michigan in June, and his strategic Town Hall meeting right here in the heart of Oakland County at Troy High School was phenomenal.  Because of Oakland County’s strategic importance to victory in November, OCDP members found out before the general public how to get tickets for the event.  WDIV Here’s a photo from the June 3 New York Times.  (Note the OCDP T-shirts in the front row.  OCDP’s image was on national TV coverage as well.)

 We Have Great Candidates in 2008.   The trend is evident:  the Democrats of Oakland County are on the move.  You can’t win the Presidency without Michigan, and you can’t win Michigan without Oakland CountyOakland County must deliver the decisive Democratic majority vote in 2008!   The OCDP has a proven record of maximizing coordination of all Democratic campaigns within the county.  Contributions to the OCDP, stay right here in Oakland County, and go directly to help maximize the Democratic turnout here in Oakland County.  By joining OCDP today you directly impact and increase our Democratic election opportunities in November.

Democrats will be putting up a strong challenge in every community in Oakland County this year.  With 1.2 million people, Oakland County is larger than some states.  To mount the type of campaigns that result in victory, it takes considerable resources.  We’ve decided to compete in every community.  We will maximize our base, and fight for that Independent vote.  But that’s not all - we will make Republicans fight for their base.  No area of Oakland County is off limits.  If we are to become the majority Party in Oakland County we need to take our campaigns to the areas where the GOP has never had a contest.  We are going to put every vote up for grabs, no matter where it is in the county.  Your membership to the OCDP helps us afford those resources to increase our Party’s visibility, support our Democratic candidates, and maximize Democratic turnout in November.   With your support we will be able to participate in the parades, set up the booths, canvass the neighborhoods, and make the phone calls into the areas that we never have been before.
