After a great time in Braddock District at Kilroy’s in July, and last month at Magill’s Pizza in Mason District, we will continue out Democrats Dine Out in September at Luciano Italian Restaurant in Oakton to visit Providence District.

Join us on Wednesday, September 22nd at Luciano in Hunter Mill Shopping Center. It is just north of I-66 on Chain Bridge Road. Order from the menu and pay regular price for your food and drink. Providence has planned a special guest speaker, Vincent DeMarco, subject of Brook N. Mcetyre’s book, The DeMarco Factor: Transforming Public Will Into Political Power. You can find the book here. He will speak at 7:30 pm, but you can come anytime after 5:30 pm. Eat before, during or after the talk, or if you can’t stay, that’s OK, too. Just print out the coupon below and give it to your server so FCDC will be given credit for your bill.

These events are proving to be loads of fun as we move fron district to district. By joining us, you can enjoy Democratic fellowship while you are supporting FCDC. Thanks.

Our first FCDC Democrats Dine Out night was a big Success! Around 75 Democrats from around the county gathered at Kilroy’s for some good food and fellowship. Thanks to Braddock District for their hard work.

Now we move on to Mason District where we will meet August 19^th at Magill’s Famous Pizza and Buffet on Rt. 236 in the heart of Annandale. You can sign up and pre pay on line by clicking here.

The price is $12 for all the pizza and buffet you can eat – soft drinks, coffee, tea, tax and tip included. Can’t beat it! (If you want beer it is available and you pay your waiter.) We can even do some Karaoke singing.

All that for $12! Bring the kids, bring Democrats new and old and join us for another fun night at Democrats Dine Out.

The Fairfax County Democratic Committee will be dining out together at restaurants around the county. Restaurant owners are willing to share part of their increased proceeds with us for boosting business at their establishments.  The restaurant gains exposure and future business, while we enjoy a good meal and raise much needed funds. Our first stop will be Kilroy’s, 5250 Port Royal Road, Springfield, on Thursday, July 22. Kilroys has agreed to donate back to FCDC a portion of your total bill.

Come and join us on the night we Dine Out together, order off the menu, and pay regular prices for your food and drink. You also share the dining room with other Democrats you know on the Committee, and special efforts will be made to assure attendance by available elected officials.  This will be an opportunity for Democratic fellowship at locations new to many of us, local favorites to others. Please print and bring the coupon below to the restaurant so that FCDC can be credited.

We are excited about the prospect of moving this Dine Out around to all reaches of the county, and to turn out large groups on the nights we get together for dinner.  This kind of event will simultaneously be an opportunity to socialize with Democrats, raise funds for FCDC, and limit the cost to an amount many already spend at restaurants.  Print out the coupon below and bring it with you so FCDC gets credit for your bill.  Thanks.

Join the Fairfax County Young Democrats for our annual picnic. Outdoor activities, Free food, fun times!
With special guest Delegate Mark Sickles!

Invite your Friends!

On June 10, Congressman Gerry Connolly introduced legislation that will force oil companies like BP to comply with a full environmental review before they drill offshore. In 2005, the Republican Congress, led by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX), relaxed the regulations on offshore drilling, allowing special exemptions for offshore rigs like Deepwater Horizon. This bill will end the special exemptions that allowed BP’s Deepwater Horizon Rig to be built and operated without real oversight. Keith Fimian believes companies like BP should be allowed to police themselves. But that kind of lax approach led to the disaster in the Gulf. Let’s stand with Gerry.
