ccdem.org - Coconino County Democrats

Welcome to the Coconino County Democratic Party!

The Coconino County Democratic Party is one of the 15 county organizations of the Arizona Democratic Party (ADP). The ADP is an arm of the National Democratic Party for Coconino County. We are committed to the continuing growth of a strong grass roots organization that takes action in support of local and national Democratic candidates and issues that promote freedom, fiscal responsibility, security, health and education.

What can you do?

• Register to vote: Contact us and we will be happy to help you get registered.
• Become a "Permanent Early Voter": Registered voters can request that their name be added to the Permanent Early Voter List. Once you are on the list, ballots for county, state and national elections will be mailed to your home. You can vote from home and mail your ballot, take it to a designated ballot drop box or deliver it to your polling place on election day.
• Volunteer/get involved: Especially in election years, we need volunteers to help with variety of projects (e.g., voter outreach and registration, election offices, writing letters to the editor, etc.)
• Make a donation: If you don't have the time to volunteer, help us with a donation. Flyers and leaflets, postage, renting space—we need money to win elections. And we're up against a hugely financed Republican party.
• VOTE!: There are many examples of how razor-thin differences in voter turnout result in a vastly different direction for our state or our country. Become a Permanent Early Voter and encourage everyone you know to do the same. Studies show that having the mail-in ballot option significantly increases voter turnout.

Get involved and make a difference!

Moving America Forward

This election offers a choice. Democrats are fighting to repair a decade of damage and
grow an economy based on hard work and responsibility. Their “Made in America”
economic plan creates jobs here at home by investing in America’s small businesses,
America’s clean-energy industry, and America’s middle class.

Republicans have tried to block progress at every turn and take us back to the same
failed Bush economic policies that caused the crisis, created record deficits, and led to
the loss of 8 million jobs. Republicans want to lavish tax breaks on special interests and
give them free rein to write their own rules at our expense.

DEMOCRATS: MOVING US FORWARD
• Tax cuts for the middle class and small businesses.
• Fighting to help small-business owners create half a million jobs.
• Working to create 700,000 clean-energy jobs that can’t be outsourced and holding BP and big oil accountable.
• Fighting to protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare.
• Fought to protect consumers and end the reckless gambling on Wall Street that cost one in 10 Americans their jobs.
• Ending abusive insurance company practices and closing the prescription drug donut hole to protect seniors’ incomes.
• Making college affordable and accessible to all.

REPUBLICANS: TAKING US BACK
• Protecting tax breaks for CEOs who ship American jobs overseas.
• More Bush tax cuts for the rich and big corporations.
• Fighting to kill half a million small-business jobs and send more jobs overseas.
• Fighting to kill 700,000 clean-energy jobs and let BP off the hook, sticking taxpayers with the tab.
• Fighting to privatize Social Security and end Medicare as we know it.
• Fought to allow Wall Street to continue gambling with our homes, jobs, and economic security.
• Fighting to protect insurance company profits and keep seniors’ prescription drug prices high.
• Preparing to return to the “exact same agenda” as pursued by President Bush.

By the People Fund

$200 million.

That's what Republican-aligned special interests have pledged to spend on the 2010 election. Just to put that in context, that's nearly $40 million more than every interest group spent on the 2008 presidential election -- combined.

When our administration and this movement decided to take on the special interests, we knew we were making a choice. And the consequences are clear. These groups have fought us at every turn in our struggle for change, and now they're trying to drown out our voices -- and our accomplishments -- with their campaign cash this fall.

We're not going to sit back and let that happen. Today, Organizing for America is announcing the By the People Fund with the goal of getting 3 million citizen donations to fuel our grassroots campaign for the upcoming election.

Please donate $5 today and help us take back this election from the corporate interests.

With our By the People Fund, we're going to make a statement this fall -- strengthening our grassroots efforts on the ground, focusing on getting first-time voters from 2008 back to the polls this year, and holding the Republicans and their special-interest allies accountable.

We've all gone to the mat with these folks time and again -- ever since Barack and I took office. And, from the Recovery Act to historic health reform to Wall Street reform, you helped prove we could win those fights.

Now these groups have one goal in mind when it comes to November 2nd -- erasing the progress we've made together.

By spending an unprecedented amount of cash to support Republicans, they're doing their best to buy their way back into power. And, if they do, they've been clear that they will do everything they can to undo the historic achievements we've fought so hard to win.

It's no wonder that each and every Republican in the Senate on Tuesday voted to allow these special interests to have a greater say in our elections. Their vote will allow these groups to spend millions on campaign ads -- and not have to reveal who's actually behind them.

I've been in politics a long time. I'm used to seeing the good guys outspent by interest groups. But we've never been outnumbered -- and we've never been outhustled.

I'm asking you to make sure it stays that way. Will you chip in and help us grow our By the People Fund?
