Young Democrats Event: A Success

Thanks to wonderful hosts, lots of work by the tireless Kristin Mueller and our fearless leader, Garth Corriveau, today's event had a tremendous turn-out. Young candidates like Roberto Fuentes, Scott Merrick, and Andy Sylvia, among about ten others, joined a crowd of Fellows from the Obama Nation and took the backyard of Jess Clark's house by storm. Good burgers and hot dogs, too!

Lou was there to offer some remarks. The world is coming to an end and the worst thing we can do is promise to show up and then not turn out. That was the take away message. Like, who really wants to show up for the end of the world? I expected to see Jesus coming around the corner with a sword...and then he started talking about an inspirational nun whom he talks to every day and the party we would all have when it is over. I felt good again, like a Great American.
