Democrats Fill Every Ballot position

Democrats will be challenging Republicans for every single county-wide position on the fall ballot. Brenda Lawrence and Jane Boudreau visited the Oakland County Democratic Party meeting last night and Democrats have excellent candidates in position to take over leadership of Oakland County from top to bottom. I predict a very good year for Democrats from the top of the ticket to the bottom. Visit Brenda Lawrence's web site at www.BrendaLawrence.com.

Carl Levin talks to Fox 2 News at Pasta Night about Michigan Primary Situation

Senator Carl Levin talks to Fox 2 News about the Michigan primary situation. It looks like the powers that be are leaning toward a mail-in ballot with the additional capability to vote on the Internet.

Oakland County Dems Honor Aldo Vagnozzi

The Oakland County Democratic Party Pasta Night to honor state representative Aldo Vagnozzi was a huge success. Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow honored Aldo, as did many other elected officials from Oakland county. The hightlight of the evening though was Aldo himself. His speech was full of stories of his long career in politics and Aldo's unique brand of humor. Also started out by saying, "You're probably wondering how long I'm going to talk. As Elizabeth Taylor used to tell her husbands, 'I won't keep you long.'"

Thanks to everyone on the committee for putting together another rousing success for Oakland County Democrats. There was so much excitement in the room. Democrats can't wait to get to work to make sure we have a Democratic Congress and a new Democratic president inaugurated in January of 2009. We certainly can't afford a third Bush term with John McBush.
