Stanly County Democratic Party

When voters go to to the polls this November, they’ll have a clear choice—a choice between the Republican Party focused on Tea Party extremes or Democrats working to continue the progress we’ve made. Vice President Joe Biden laid out this choice in his speech earlier today at the Democratic Party’s summer meeting in St. Louis.

“When people start to look at the alternative, they’ll find this ain’t your father’s Republican Party. This is the Republican Tea Party. And what they’re going to find out is the choices are pretty stark. They’re going to see a Republican Party that is a combination of the old failed Bush policies and a new set of Draconian rules. They’re offering more of the past but on steroids. They have some new ideas, but the new ideas are taking the old ones and even further squeezing the life out of them....”

To determine what happens in November, it’ll take some serious work between now and Election Day. Here are two great ways you can help:

Commit to vote. Make sure your voice is heard in the important races in your area.

Host a door-to-door canvass next weekend to make sure your neighbors know about the upcoming elections. Our goal is to knock on 200,000 doors that weekend—it’s an ambitious one, but you can help us reach it by hosting an event.

As the Vice President said today, this election is about a choice “between Democrats and the Republican Tea Party, between Democrats and the party of repeal and repeat.” The President is moving the country forward, but we all need to get involved to make sure we keep making progress.
