DEMOCRATS – WE ARE THE CHANGE

The Sonoma County Democratic Party's annual “Crab Feed" dinner will be held on February 27, 2009, 6-9pm.

Location Veterans Memorial Building 1351 Maple Ave Santa Rosa, CA 95404

This festive event, which attracts over 600 guests, is the primary fundraiser to support election of Democratic candidates, advance a legislative agenda based on our shared Democratic values and other work throughout the year in our County.

This is an all you can eat dinner featuring local crab, premium wine, delicious pasta and garden greens salad. There is also a no-host bar and silent auction. This is a good place to meet other Sonoma County Democrats and support your local Party.

During the last election, the Sonoma County Democratic Party joined with the local Obama Campaign. As a result, there were over 70,000 calls made to swing states from the Sonoma County Democratic Party Election Headquarters in support of Barack Obama. The Party printed (and in many cases) distributed over 80,000 pages of campaign literature for local candidates. The local Democratic Party performed the first election protection observation of the vote counting process by a political Party in our county’s history. In the 2008 election, over 70% of the candidates your local Party endorsed were elected to office. We could not have done all of this without your support.

Please come and celebrate with us.
