NHYD statement on Dr. Jay Buckey's withdrawal from US Senate race

Admiration
by Garth Corriveau
President, NH Young Democrats
http://www.nhyoungdemocrats.org

Dr. Jay Buckey greatly impressed NHYD board members, especially me, with his command of the issues, his intellect, his lifestory and tireless campaign ethic. NH Young Democrats admire him and his cause tremendously. To say that the N.H. Young Democrats wish him well is an understatement. Our state needs leaders like Dr. Buckey.

Karen Liot Hill, Dr. Buckey's campaign manager, is a super-talented Young Dem and I'm confident ... no, I know ... she will be a salient voice for progressive issues now and for many years to come. She's a key Young Democratic leader to keep your eyes on.

Finally ... John E. Sununu - what's that sound you hear growing louder in the distance?

That's the stampede of young NH voters - 61% of whom voted Democratic in the '08 prez primary - rushing to oust you and your outdated rightwing agenda from the U.S. Senate!

Senator, you might want to get ear-plugs because that those footsteps are going to get louder and louder very quickly now thanks to Dr. Buckey, Governor Shaheen and NH's young Democratic voters.

NHYDs invade the blogosphere!

Welcome to the NH Young Democrats' official blog. My name is Garth Corriveau and I am President of the NH Young Democrats (NHYD). NHYD is the official youth arm of the NH Democratic Party. We are an inclusive, statewide organization of 18-36 year olds that exists to excite, engage and involve young people in New Hampshire's political community; mentor, recruit and empower a new generation of New Hampshire leaders; advance progressive ideals and values; and elect young Democrats. We recently elected a new executive committee which is filled with political organizers, fundraisers, media specialists and grassroots activists.


Here we will try to keep you up-to-date on all NHYD affairs, developments in local, state and national Democratic politics, and foster a dialogue between Young Democrats on progressive issues in 2008 and beyond. It is an honor to lead such a dynamic organization, with engaged, active and passionate members.


Currently our efforts are focused on building regional NHYD chapters outside of the Concord/Manchester/Nashua corridor - in particular, Seacoast Young Democrats, Upper Valley Young Democrats and Monadnock Young Democrats. Keep it here to learn about their upcoming kick-off events this spring. Also this spring, we will begin our fundraising efforts geared toward hiring an '08 youth campaign staffer whose goal will be GOTV in NH's college towns and cities.


John E. Sununu hears footsteps growing louder and louder - those of NH youth, whose 16% share of the overall 2008 NH presidential primary vote was higher than that of senior citizens. The overall youth turnout rate in NH was 43% - more than triple the rate of Iowa, Florida or Michigan and double that of South Carolina. Of that huge percentage, approximately 61% of NH young voters voted Democratic. John E. Sununu's George W. Bush neo-con loving, preemptive war-mongering, universal healthcare-dodging philosophy in the U.S. Senate is going to be shown the door this November by NH's young voters.

Oh, did I mention that NH young voters are going to put a Democrat in the White House too?


We need your help though. If you believe that the ways of Washington must change, then start at home. Join the NHYDs, visit http://www.nhyoungdemocrats.org/, because we are the change we've been waiting for.
