Town of Strafford Democratic Committee
We are a local grassroots organization in Strafford, NH, working to elect Democrats.
We are aligned with the NH Democratic Party. Our next meeting will be held Tuesday
February 7 at 7:00 pm Hill Library, Strafford. Our January meeting included a visit from NH House Minority Leader Terie Norelli. Read more on the Committee News page.
Committee members Rep. Bob and Carol Perry and Jane and Dennis Vachon were on hand for the official opening of the Strafford County Obama for America office on January 21. A big crowd turned out for the occasion. The office is up and running at 660 Central Avenue in Dover. It's nice space -- stop by and have a look and say hi. Staffer Ben Croner is coordinating activities there. You can reach Ben by email at bcroner@ofanh.com or call 573-5870.
There are already lots of ways to get involved. At the opening, State Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley reminded the crowd how important New Hampshire is for President Obama -- if our state had gone for Al Gore in 2000, George W. Bush would not have become president! So the Obama campaign is putting some real resources into the election effort here, and they are counting on our help. Read more about the opening here.

Notable Quote:
"People often say with pride, 'I'm not interested in politics.' They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future...' If we mean to keep control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics." -- Martha Gellhorn (1908 -1998) American novelist, travel writer and journalist
