From Green to Blue

As we're going green for St. Patrick's Day, I'm thinking blue.  Turning South Carolina blue, that is.  And the South Carolina Democratic Women's Council, under the savvy and energetic leadership of Susan Smith, is determined to reach that goal! 

 

The second annual "Day in Blue" is scheduled for Wednesday, March 26, at the State House in Columbia.  The day begins with a 10 a.m. press conference in the Lobby where Democratic candidates will offer a vision for a better South Carolina followed by an introduction of the group in the House Chamber.  At 11, advocacy workshops begin.  The day is rich with opportunities to learn about political action committee involvement in campaigns, fundraising myths and realities, and the importance of recruiting and engaging enthusiastic volunteers.  Also, back by popular demand is Jay Parmley's presentation on "elevator speech messaging."

 

There will be legislative updates, and Council president Susan Smith says, "If you've ever thought of running for office and didn't know where to begin, our Day in Blue panelists will provide the answers you seek. "

 

If you've gone from disheartened to appalled and outraged by the way  things are going in South Carolina—under Republican throw-back consciousness and chaos— joining the South Carolina Democratic Women's Council is an excellent way to be a part of changing the equation.  We won't turn blue by standing still and holding our breath...it will take all of us taking an active part in making it happen!
