Check out Learn to Win 2010

The CDP Learn to Win 2010 training equips activists in "red-to-blue" opportunity districts with the organizing, communications, technology, and finance skills they’ll need to help Democrats reach out to more voters and win these crucial local races that form the bedrock of a successful Party. 

Nine trainings are scheduled so far in 2010.  Check to see if there is one near you.   

Party News and Notes

2008-2012 DNC Election (Special)
Congratulations to Becca Doten and Laurence Zakson.  Full results will be posted later in the week. 

California's Redistricting Commission
Redistricting is the once-in-a- decade opportunity to redraw the State’s legislative districts. This single act may do more to influence the make-up of the Legislature and its agenda over the next 10 years than all of the elections during that period combined.  For the first time, this critical task will not be performed by elected officials but by a new Citizens Redistricting Commission. more

Carly Fiorina Enters the Race

"The last thing Californians need in a U.S. Senator is a failed CEO who was fired by her last employer after taking $100 million for herself. In these tough times, hard-working Californians need a Senator who will fight to create jobs, not a millionaire former executive who laid off more than 28,000 Americans and shipped jobs overseas. Carly Fiorina may have millions to spend on a Senatorial race, but Californians will not be snookered by yet another millionaire neophyte in search of a new hobby. Maybe Fiorina’s ill-advised run for Senate will finally inspire her to take the time to vote. Sen. Boxer and the California Democratic Party will be ready for Assemblymember Chuck DeVore, Fiorina or whoever wins the Republican primary in 2010." -- CDP Chairman John Burton
