Since the last issue of the Dispatch there have been some changes on the political landscape. Please join me in congratulating Senator Kerry on his nomination for Secretary of State. If confirmation goes as expected we’ll all be getting ready for a special election. We put a great team together for the fall and we’ll do it again, maybe in snowshoes or galoshes this time!
I’m using my soapbox today to encourage readers to take a few minutes this weekend and visit a friend or a relative. If you know someone in a nursing home or someone who is ill, plan some time to visit or simply reach out to someone you might not otherwise see.
A few people have asked about inaugural events, both here and in DC. The Framingham DTC is having a gala on January 12 that should be a fun opportunity to celebrate. Here in Massachusetts the Young Democrats are hosting an event for Democrats of all ages. For purchasing tickets to events in DC check out this link.
Events coming up include Jamie Eldridge’s Town Hall meetings, Jimmy Tingle’s holiday events and Elizabeth Warren’s swearing-in ceremonies.
Details on all these events are in Dongaghue’s Democratic Dispatch. Subscribe be sending an e-mail to DDemDispatch-subscribe@yahoogroups.com .
