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.
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.
Heading to College? Think you’ll be away from home this November? If so, don’t forget to fill out an absentee ballot application form NOW! After democratic victories in 2008 the Republican Party is pushing back and the election this year will be the key to maintaining Democratic control of the House of Representatives and to supporting change and progress.
Remember you must complete an application before every election in which you intend to vote absentee. The application form must be received in your local voter registration office by 5:oo PM EST on Tuesday, October 26th, but try to mail or fax your form as soon as possible.
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.
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. Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor to help prevent future oil spills!
If you could not join us for this year’s wonderful event, or just want to remember the evening again you can check out a slide show of pictures from the event and video of the keynote speaker as well as all three of our congressional candidates.
