Democrats Strengthen Resolve at Kefauver Dinner
Decorated war hero Max Cleland, former U.S. Senator of Georgia, spoke to a packed house of Democrats last night. Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Bob Tuke introduced Max with a U.S. Marine salute. Before Tuke, however, there were two other speakers who revved up the party: A brave new vision was presented by the local party chair Stuart James Stuart James and a compassionately thoughtful message delivered by our Governor, Phil Bredesen. Max reminded us why we are Democrats: in a nutshell, we care about people.
And we don't just say or pretend we care; we actually do care. Max had the crowd of 500+ Democrats laughing and clapping for 25 minutes. Then at the end, he announced the Democratic victories in gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. What a night! Stuart James and Andy Berke and Pris Siskin were superb at bringing this event together at the Chattanoogan, reminding us that we have 365 Days to Victory!
But now it is a new day! And this is when the rubber meets the road. It is time for us to make our message of opportunity, values, and common sense heard. And it is time that we hear what people are saying they want in their leaders. You can help us do just that by helping me canvass this month.
Saturday, Nov. 19~This day will be a very big push for our campaign on the ground. We will be canvassing in the morning and early afternoon, then joining the East Ridge Christmas Parade at night. Please let me know how you can help us on Nov. 19.
We were honored to have Meredith Preston, President of the UTC College Democrats, sat at our table last night. Here she is (left) with Campaign Manager Pam Ladd and Campaign Analyst Anna Massey-Ward. We were also honored to have with us Chris and Samantha Bayles along with Candy Corneliussen and Tim and Allyson Neal.
