Welcome to the Dublin Democrats Club @ Scioto! It's Our Party! The DDC News (all archives below) (March-April 2005) DDC Endorses O'Shaughnessy for Columbus City Council In a unanimous vote at its March 7th meeting, Dublin Democrats Club @ Scioto praised Columbus City Councilwoman Maryellen O'Shaughnessy for her aide's reaching out to the new group by offering to schedule O'Shaughnessy to visit them at Scioto this spring. The DDC also enthusiastically agreed to get involved in her re-election campaign by aiding during the primary season, also this spring. O'Shaughnessy is a Democrat who chairs two committees in Council, and has run for other offices in the past. For an official biography of O'Shaughnessy, click here. The Councilwoman visited Scioto's DDC on Thursday April 7th! With our aid, O'Shaughnessy won her primary election on May 3rd! Congrats! Bush Pushes Energy Plan What do you do when it seems your policies are going nowhere? Compromise! But obviously, President Bush hasn't gotten the message. He is attempting for a third time to stubbornly push through Congress an energy plan that would include drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Yet he continues to refuse the "fuzzy math" of reality by ignoring calls for a "middle ground," or even by doing his homework! Like with the Iraq War and weapons of mass destruc- tion, Bush is absolutely convinced that with one sci- entist's estimates about the amount of oil, he can dec- lare this as a truth. Yet many scientists think there is much less oil in the Refuge than Bush believes. But does Bush care? Of course not! As long as his friends in the drilling industry are happy, so is he. Other provisions of the plan are just as reckless: Bush allocates a meager $1 billion for renewable energy cars, while he carelessly pours multi-hundreds of billions into Iraq, and trillions into an unnecessary Social Security overhaul. "Fuzzy math" indeed, Mr. President. Get involved! Visit the JohnKerry.com website to get involved in his efforts following the bill's sudden passage. And, vote with your stand in the poll above. DDC's Polls Point toward a future for the Party Dublin Democrats Club has had several polls so far in the space above - and will continue to. Results so far have been as follows: *Unanimous - Yes to Howard Dean for DNC Chair *Nearly 50-50 - On whether Democrats should use faith more in campaigning (Slight "no") *Unanimous - No to oil drilling in the Alaska Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) Would you like to sound-off on these above topics, or submit one of your own?

DDC News Archives The DDC News Feb. 2004 Coleman Enters Governor Race Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman announced on February 1st that he is running for Governor of Ohio! He was the first candidate to join the race. Primary elections will be held in spring of 2006, and the general elections will follow that fall. Why should Democrats unite for Coleman? Well, there are other choices. But priority #1 is to put some Dems into statewide office! Just look at the Republicans' track record by reading the newspapers. One name sums up our opinion of the Republican statewide leaders in Ohio: Ken Blackwell, who disallowed any investigation into possible 2004 Ohio voter fraud. Coleman is a man who even the Ohio Republican Party chair has great respect for, calling him "a formidable candidate." Hats off! One party rule is about to end! (Just leaves us wondering... will Jerry Springer run, too???) Dean Wins DNC Chairmanship Like him? Hate him? Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and 2004 presidential candidate is now the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. This group fundraises for national races and is in charge of the national party platform, etc. With the endorsement of major state organizations, Dean caused multiple other contenders to immediately surrender. Our DDC poll at right was unanimous - we like him! Dean's priorities are competitive local and Congressional races, hard work in "red states," and building a more unified party based on clear issue stands. Many powerful faith leaders want Democrats to not be "afraid" of faith issues in campaigns. What do you think? Vote in our next DDC poll - above! Also, congratulate Chairman Dean by visiting his organization online, Democracy For America. Bush Plows Ahead with Not-So-Secure Social Security Plan Thank goodness for the torchbearers of our party, conducted by Sen Edward Kennedy (D-MA), to stand up and critique the policies President Bush has created for the modification of Social Security. Why do some Democrats complain about the plan? Well, let's just say... would you like your retirement money at the mercy of a trembling stock market? At his State of the Union address, the president wrapped his package nicely for adults, because the teenage population that will be most affected does not regularly watch State of the Unions. Just one problem, Mr. President - this is one organization that does not like to be silent. But you be the judge - we encourage everyone to listen to the President's speeches or read about his plans from unbiased online newspapers. Then, post in our guestbook below to tell the world what you think! c.2005 Dublin Democrats Club @ Scioto, all rights reserved. |
