As a former member o Congress, 3 Governor John Baldacci was one of our party'sB bright 4 moments of November Sth, 2002. As Governor Baldacci 5 knows, under President Bush, overnors are facing the 6 worst fiscal crisis since Wor d War 11, and we face 7 deficits, budget crunches, and7 tou h decisions. 8 Thanks to leaders like t F! e Governor and strong 9 Democratic values, we know we are in good hands. The 10 people of Maine are lucky to have the Governor to fight on Page 1 2003 - February 21 - Washington DC 11 the front lines of homeland security, war, and terrorism, 12 education and health care. Governor Baldacci is currently 13 leading a statewide charge to the residents of Maine to 14 provide quality health care coverage to all residents of 15 Maine. The Governor has thrown down the auntlet towards 16 providing affordable quality health care 3. or every man, 17 woman, and child in the State of Maine. 18 AS one of his first acts as Governor, he si ned 19 an executive order to establish a Governor's office o3. 20 Health Care Parity and Finance, through which he will test 21 a plan that he can present to the legislature this year. 22 Let me di ress for a moment. This is a good 23 executive order. T1 e President of the united States seems 24 to be acting by legislative order, which keeps everything 25 from going to Congress. SO this is a good executive 0004 1 order. 2 Members of the Executive Committee, please join 3 me in welcoming one of our finest new governors, Governor 4 John Baldacci. 5 (Standing ovation .) 6 REMARKS BY GOVERNOR JOHN BALDACCI 7 GOVERNOR BALDACCI: Thank you very much. You 8 are all going to be officers in our administration. 9 Listen. Ithank you very much for that 10 reception and Iappreci ate the introduction . 11 MS. WYMAN: YOU are welcome. 12 GOVERNOR BALDACCI: Thank YOU. 13 MS. WYMAN: You don't know wine. Balducci wine 14 is very good. 15 GOVERNOR BALDACCI: It is, it's very ood, it's 16 ver good. And every time that Irun into peop9 e and they 17 looc at my name and the want to make it "Balducci .'I what 18 hap ened was it was "Ba T dacci" and every once in a 19 whiye -- we're both in the food business. They run a deli 20 in New York and we have a small Italian restaurant in 21 Mai ne, actual 1 third generati on. 22 (~ppT ause.) 23 They only give me five minutes for my remarks, 24 so Ican't be interrupted by applause. 25 (Laughter .) 0005 1 But my grandparents came over from Italy and 2 they landed in the ort of Baltimore, and in Maine they 3 imported Italian laE or to help build the paper mills. So 4 my grandfather started a bar and my randmother wanted to 5 make sure that they were sober, so s 41 e started the 6 restaurant. 7 SO we are third generation, and we named the 8 restaurant the "Bal timore Restaurant" because America was 9 the land of opportunity for my randparents when they 10 immi rated from Italy. And it 41 as meant a lot to my seven 11 brotE ers and sisters, who over the years were realizing 12 why under the child labor laws that family members were 13 exempted.

Thurmond, who represents California's 15th State Assembly District, announced his endorsement by remarking: "Senator Dr. Ed Hernandez is a tireless advocate for California's children, families and working people. His unyielding drive for excellence when it comes to advancing good government policies, investing in local neighborhood schools, expanding higher education, increasing healthcare access, bolstering job-training, enhancing public safety and pushing for more environment protections is precisely the leadership we need from our next Lieutenant Governor of California. These are just a few of the reasons why I'm pleased to announce my support of Senator Hernandez. I know he'll make our state proud."

Vice President Jennifer Davis, Executive Director June 24, 1992 For more information call: Richard Knight American Committee on Africa 212-962-1210 ADVISORY U.S. Mayors Call for Sanctions to Stay The U.S. Conference of Mayors, representing some 900 mayors of cities with populations over 30,000 in the United States, passed a resolution today at their annual meeting in Houston reaffirming support for city sanctions against South Africa. The mayor's resolution notes that "Nelson Mandela has stated that he will call on U.S. cities to lift existing sanctions against South Africa when the negotiations have resulted in the establishment of an interim government" and calls for cities to maintain sanctions against South Africa "until representatives of the democratic movement in South Africa call for their lifting." Mayor after mayor at the meeting stood up to condemn the South African government's role in the recent killings at Boipatong. The Mayor's go on to say that when an interim government is in place, "companies which do business in South Africa will make a positive commitment to help overcome the legacy of apartheid and promote equality of opportunity among all South Africans." The resolution was sponsored by Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn, who is outgoing president of the conference, and the mayors of New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Denver, New Orleans, Houston, Detroit, Seattle, Baltimore, Kansas City, San Leandro, New Haven, Newark, and Miami.

  • Letter to the Democratic National Committee, the DNC Rules Committee, and All Delegates to the Democratic National Convention
    Letter to the Democratic National Committee, the DNC Rules Committee, and all delegates to the Democratic National Convention: The undersigned organizations hope that all Democrats agree that the will of the voters should be decisive in determining the Democratic nominees for the country’s highest offices. We therefore urge the Democratic Party – via action at this month’s Democratic National Convention – to eliminate the concept of so-called “superdelegates.” This change would not impact the ongoing nomination proceedings, but would take effect for all future national nominee selection processes and conventions. The superdelegate system is unrepresentative, contradicts the purported values of the party and its members, and reduces the party’s moral authority. • The system undermines representative democracy and means that the electorate is not necessarily decisive in determining who will be the Democratic nominees for president and vice president and dilutes the voters’ say over the party’s platform and the rules under which it operates. Astonishingly, these unelected delegates have essentially as much weight as do the pledged delegates from the District of Columbia, 4 territories, and 24 states combined. • The system undermines the Democratic Party's commitment to gender equity. While the party’s charter rightfully mandates that equal numbers of pledged delegates be male and female, a near super-majority of superdelegates are men. • The Democratic Party prides itself on its commitment to racial justice and the racial diversity of its ranks. Yet the superdegelates appears to skew the party away from appropriate representation of communities of color: Proportionately, approximately 20% fewer of this year’s superdelegates hail from communities of color than was true of the 2008 and 2012 pledged delegate cohorts, or of the voters who supported President Obama in those years’ general elections.

  • Nancy Green Speech February 3 2009
    Nancy Greens Campaign Speech for the election of Chapter Chair of the Berlin Chapter of Democrats Abroad Germany on February 3, 2009 Barack Obama has been elected president …Wow… How did this happen? It was no accident!! Of course there are many factors that lead to the outcome of this historic election … which will be analyzed at the local Stammtisch and by scholars and institutions far into the future. One thing I can say from my perspective here in Berlin is. We had something to do with it. And people like us had something to do with it. From Berlin and Munich, Heidelberg, and Landstuhl, to Rome, Vancouver, London, Madrid, Ukraine, Lebanon and Israel, to Denver…. Democrats all over the world had something to do with the outcome of this election. We also had some help …. George Bush…. Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld John McCain… I could go on and on, but I only have 10 minutes… The missteps of the Republican Party are one major factor. Other factors include the Organization of the Democratic Party the Obama Campaign, The leadership of Howard Dean and people like us at the grass-roots. Then there is Barack Obama himself, who has inspired millions. Change has come about because we have had leadership. We are here because we care about our country and, adhering to the basic principles of the Democratic Party, we want to bring about changes in our nation’s policies regarding, to name only some the economy, health care, education, the environment, equal rights, scientific research, support for the arts, foreign policy, Iraq, Quantanemo and Habeus Corpus.

  • Dear Presidential Candidate
    Dear Presidential Candidate: Thank you for running to receive our Party’s Presidential nomination. The energy and unique perspective you bring to this race will make our Democratic Party stronger and more vibrant as we prepare for what is surely the most important election of our lifetime. While Democrats must give our all to defeating Donald Trump in 2020, we cannot lose sight of the less glamorous work that comes after this election: Building a sustainable Democratic Party infrastructure that will remain beyond the 2020 election cycle so that we can win elections up and down the ballot which will help support the agenda of our Democratic President. We must build to win and build to last so we can grow our Party into the future. The way we do that is by building and supporting strong State Democratic Parties. That’s why, on behalf of the Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC), we are writing to ask for your support of and signature on the enclosed Pledge to Support State Democratic Parties. This Pledge was passed unanimously in Santa Fe, New Mexico this June by ASDC members – made up of the Chairs and Vice Chairs from all 57 State Parties (all 50 States + DC + 5 U.S. Overseas Territories + Democrats Abroad) – and is being shared with all candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination. We ask that you and your team consider this pledge and reach out with any questions. We hope to have all 2020 ​ candidates’ signatures on this pledge no later than the upcoming ASDC / DNC meeting taking place August 21 – 24 in San Francisco.

  • Dr. King's Dream Amplified
    Dr. King’s Dream Amplified (A Historical Synopsis of Denver’s and Colorado’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) Co-Documented By The Honorable Wilma J. Webb Mayor Wellington E. Webb & Dr. Vernon Howard April 4, 1968, the day that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., worldwide humanitarian, was assassinated, spurred an unstoppable and unapologetic movement to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a nationwide holiday in the United States of America. The Colorado Black Community, the clergy, civil rights organizations, elected officials, freedom fighters, and people from all walks of life launched an effort forward for this great American to be so honored because of his ability to change our nation and the world which was destined to forever be headed in a wrong direction by not acknowledging, respecting, regarding, and living out the ideal that all men and women are created equal. A law had to be created in Colorado to make that effort a reality. That path to accomplish a legal holiday in Colorado was championed by leaders in the Colorado General Assembly, who, over the years, included: Colorado State Senator George W. Brown, Colorado State Representative Wellington E. Webb, Colorado State Representative King M. Trimble, Colorado State Representative Arie P. Taylor, and ultimately Colorado State Representative Wilma J. Webb. These leaders began introducing, in the House of Representatives and in the State Senate, Tributes and Memorials to other elected officials who, by their support and by their votes, would have the responsibility and the honor to grant such a holiday. Early on, only one introduced bills to pass a law that would honor Dr.
