The Ventura County Democratic Central Committee has their annual Kennedy Legacy Dinner coming up.
Click on continue reading for the details.
The keynote speaker for the night is Rep. Maxine Waters. I am not sure what i think of her record. I think I'll investigate it more before I comment.
Are you going? I haven't decided if I am going to ask to attend as a blogger and cover the event.
The funds raised from the event cover many expenses including sending out slate cards to registered party members. Candidates that earn the endorsement of the party are able to get their names listed on the slates. This includes candidates for nonpartisan offices. A candidate for school board or city council could greatly benefit from being included on these slates.
I have conflicting thoughts on if candidates for nonpartisan offices should seek the support of a political party. What do you think?

You foooools. You poor fools, you don't even know. You're not supporting democrats, you're supporting national/international socialists. I feel like I could just cry. Happened before our eyes and you didn't even notice. They don't exemplify anything American, democratic, free. Oh please wake up.
