Dec 2023 Reorganization (sl)
RE-ENLIST WITH US IN DECEMBER
As most of you know, under state party rules, the Hanover Democratic Committee must reorganize every two years. This will happen in December and will be the focus of our Dec. 9 meeting, which will be at 10 a.m. at Around the Table, 155 Junction Drive.
After Thanksgiving, we will send a more detailed email to recipients of our newsletter about the steps they need to take to re-enlist in an election cycle when nothing less than democracy is on the ballot. In short, we need you, and we need you to recruit your like-minded friends for our December reorganization.
Information about renewing your membership is on this site. Go to the Join Now page and see how you can do this online, or click the red button for a form that you can print, if you prefer to do this by mail or would rather hand it in at our Dec. 9 meeting. A full listing of our new tiered membership structure is located at this link.
Again, more information will be forthcoming in your inbox and in the December newsletter but please get ahead of the game and re-up now.

My MAGA Experience at a Polling Place
by Arthur Brill
Little more detail on the incident at my polling station in Beaverdam, Virginia.
Beaverdam is a one-stoplight district. It has a post office and one convenience "general" store. It is about 30 minutes from Ashland, the closest Incorporated town in Virginia. This puts it at about an hour outside of Richmond.
When my wife and I arrived at our polling station, a precinct with just over 1,300 voters), we could hear a man yelling at the volunteer staffing the Democrat party table.
He was wearing a MAGA hat and screaming something about Democrats being evil. As he came toward us and passed us he said something to the effect of "Don't talk to Democrats about abortion."
I responded, "Don't talk to me about abortion."
He said, "I guess you ain't a Christian."
I replied, "No, I'm not."
Then he said something about me going to Hell. Read more

NEW MEETING DAY AND TIME FOR HDC
We are changing the time and day of our monthly HDC meetings, effective Sunday, January 14. In an effort to accommodate those who cannot attend on Saturday mornings, our meeting will be on the second Sunday of the month at 4 p.m. Same place, Around the Table, 155 Junction Drive, Ashland, in the Rose's Shopping Center. Please make a note of the new day and time and plan to attend. This change will continue until the chair and the executive committee decide otherwise, but it was felt we need to change things up a bit and see if we can involve more possible members at our monthly meetings.
