With only 18 days remaining until election day every Democrat needs to reenergize and get in the full Get-Out-The-Vote mode.  Over this weekend many Virginia Democrats will be getting together to do just that .. in places like King George Garden Party and in Newport News at the 4th Annual Peninsula JJ ... please leave your area event details in comments ...

Meanwhile take a little time and think back to the DNC convention and how proud you felt to have our Democratic candidates and party on display for Nation and the world.  

MSNBC even had backup dancers For Stevie Wonder's DNC Performance (Rachel Maddow, Eugene Robinson, and Nora O'Donnell and one old grumpy guy in sunglasses).

Kilmarnock for Obama Rally in support of Obama Sunday, October 19th (Shawn - 10/17/2008 4:11:46 PM)
I want to make sure you are all invited to the rally we are hosting at Dr. Jack Russell's home on October 19th.  The event will be from 4pm to 6pm and will feature 1st Lady of Virginia Ann Holton as our keynote speaker.

I want to personally invite all my hard working volunteers to come and let me say thank you in person for doing such an outstanding job of registering voters, knocking on doors, and making phone calls.  You, not me, have made the difference.  Let's get together and party a little before we get down to the last effort - GOTV (Get Out The Vote!).

Click this link: http://my.barackobama.com/page... and register.  If you don't want to donate any more money don't worry.  You've donated something much more valuable -- your time.

If you've gotten this message more than once it's because you've signed up to volunteer for many more things than I can keep track of.  Bless your heart(s).

Best regards,
Mike

Rally for Veterans with Glenn Nye and Sen. Jim Webb Saturday (Shawn - 10/17/2008 8:50:09 PM)
h/t VBDems http://www.vbdems.org/showDiar...

Senator Jim Webb will join Glenn Nye and local veterans tomorrow (Saturday) for a rally demanding better care for veterans.  
From the Nye campaign: "Webb and Nye will address what still needs to be done to improve access to VA health care and to enable veterans to get the education and jobs they need to support their families and strengthen our economy."

Meanwhile, Thelma Tra La La voted against Senator Webb's bipartisan GI Bill. She told the press that she voted against it because of opposition from President Bush, "who held that the legislation was too generous to veterans".

"Drake also voted against extending the military's TRICARE health insurance program to all reservists and National Guard members, many of whom live in Hampton Roads", the release continues.

When: Saturday, October 18, 12 Noon
Where: Naval Aviation Monument Park, 25th Street and Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach
