SW Ohio for Hillary

Take action by Tuesday, March 4, 2008

It’s Primary Season! While the Clermont County Democratic Party has NOT endorsed or, as a party, is NOT favoring any contested candidate, we feel you would like to know about the activities and events of ALL the primary candidates. Therefore, as always, if a candidate or campaign requests us to post an event at the web site/send out an email event about her or him, a volunteer activity or fundraising event, we will do our best to oblige. We do NOT give our email list to any candidate or organization.

Candidates/Campaigns take note: The CCDP will NOT edit your request. What you send is exactly what will be posted/sent. The CCDP will REFUSE to send info that appears negative or slanderous towards another Democrat. In our eyes, ALL DEMOCRATS are GREAT!

With that said, here is the first campaign item…

SW Ohio for Hillary

Calling all Clermont County Democrats! The campaign is heating up in Ohio, and we need your help.

On Saturday, hundreds of Ohio Democrats from across the state, and dozens from our area, joined Gov. Strickland, Lt Gov. Lee Fischer and Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones to get organized to turn Ohio blue in November with Hillary leading the ticket.

And last Monday night, dozens of Clinton supporters from a number of SW Ohio Counties gathered in downtown Cincinnati for the high-stakes debate in South Carolina.

Bottom line from both events: there are many things people can do, IMMEDIATELY, to help Hillary gather momentum over the next month, including in Ohio. They include:

1. REGISTER AS A VOLUNTEER. Please email us at SWOhio4Hillary@gmail.com that you are interested in volunteering for the campaign. We will then follow up with more details about how to get involved. Also, go to www.hillaryclinton.com/join, and register as a volunteer. By doing so, you will have access to all the different ways to help the campaign.

At the same time,

2. MAKE PHONE CALLS TO PRIMARY STATES. Join our first Phone Bank on Saturday, Jan. 26 from 2:00 - 5:00 at the Panera Bread, Hyde Park (in Cincinnati). 3806 Paxton Ave. Please email us at

SWOhio4Hillary@gmail.com to let us know if you want to help make calls. There will be more phone banks in the coming weeks.

3. CONTRIBUTE! Of course, with many primaries occurring so soon, the campaign needs as much support as possible to get its message out. Every level of support counts. In order to contribute, go to www.hillaryclinton.com, and push the red Contribute button.

Please let us know any other ideas you have that could help deliver Ohio to Hillary. This will be particularly helpful after the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday Primary, when all eyes will turn to Ohio. We want to prepare for that now.

Again, email us at SWOhio4Hillary@gmail.com if you want to be involved in any way!

Sincerely,

Former State Rep. Catherine Barrett,

Cincinnati City Councilwoman Roxanne Qualls,

Cincinnati City Councilman John Cranley,

Hamilton County Commissioner David Pepper

and Former Congressman Tom Luken
