Dear Fellow Democrats
(7/26/11),
Like my family and I, many
of you heard the President
last night explain once
again the root causes of our
current crisis over raising
the debt ceiling. We also
heard President Obama
explain the very serious
ramifications of defaulting
on our debts. He explained
how he and the Democrats in
Congress have repeatedly
made serious attempts to
reduce spending by cutting
significantly from all
government agencies. The
Republicans, led by Tea
Party radicals in the US
House, have refused to agree
to cutting tax deductions on
the wealthiest 2% of
Americans. This is
disgraceful and unacceptable
to us as Democrats and
Americans. Reasonable
Republicans and most
economists agree that you
cannot reduce the national
debt only by cutting
spending; you must also
raise revenues. For Tea
Party radicals to hold our
national economy hostage is
unacceptable.
President Obama has been and
is now proposing a moderate,
centrist course of action to
get us past this debt
ceiling crisis and preserve
our slow, but sure, economic
progress. If you support The
President, I urge you to
call US Senators Graham and
DeMint and Congressman
Wilson in the next few days
expressing your views.
Thank-you for your continued
support of President Obama.
We will all be working hard
to re-elect him in 2012.
Sincerely,
Blaine Lotz, Chair, Beaufort
County Democratic Party

Dear Fellow Democrats
(6/24/2011),
Your Beaufort County Democratic
Party is launching a major voter registration
campaign this summer. You can be a part of it.
This is a non-partisan effort; actually, voter
registration, itself, is non-partisan in that we do
not register to vote by political party. We simply
register to vote as citizens. We Democrats believe
that the more people who are registered to vote, the
greater will be our chances of victory. That is
because we believe that our candidates from
President Obama on down the line will convince the
voters that the Democratic Party is better for all
our citizens.
Here's how it will work. First,
we are having a voter registration summit meeting
this Saturday morning at the Golden Corral
Restaurant in Beaufort --- starting with a
Dutch-treat breakfast at 9 AM, followed by a 9:30
meeting which will end at 11. The meeting will
explain to groups of interested volunteers how we
plan to seek out potential voters who are not
already registered. This includes young people
(high school seniors who will be 18 by November
2011), college students at USCB and TCL, legal
Latino residents, seniors who may be homebound,
African-Americans, and new residents to our
community. The next steps will involve YOU, our
volunteers. If you are interested in this first
phase of reelecting President Obama, we need your
help. Simply e-mail us with your contact
information and we will provide you with specific
details of how you can help.
The next phase of our effort will
be making sure that all interested voters have the
appropriate photo ID as mandated by the Republican
legislature and governor. You have all heard me say
many times that this photo ID was a blatant effort
to stifle older, younger, and minority voters from
going to the polls. These individuals are our
natural constituency, i.e., they vote Democratic in
greater numbers. But, we have to assume that some
form of photo ID may be required by the presidential
election of 2012. Therefore, we must plan to help
voters without proper photo ID to obtain the
required ID. When we have a better idea of what
type of photo ID will be required, we will need
volunteers to help these individuals.
Voter registration efforts and
obtaining proper photo ID will continue through this
year and into next. But, the third phase of our
effort will be to get-out-the-vote for the November
6, 2012 presidential election. We will need as many
volunteers as possible during that campaign. Please
let us know how you would like to help. With YOU we
will re-elect President Obama and Democrats in 2012.

great pictures.

Beaufort County Democrats expressed optimism Sunday
afternoon that Democrats will reclaim the gubernatorial
and 2nd District congressional seats, a feat that will
be accomplished in large part to volunteer and
grassroots efforts throughout the state.
The Democratic Club of Beaufort County South of the
Broad hosted an open house Sunday at the opening of its
Hilton Head Island campaign headquarters at 55 Mathews
Drive, Suite 230.
Carol Rommel, a volunteer organizer,said the office
will be staffed with three volunteers per day for the
next three weeks, but organizers always welcome more.
"We'll be focusing on voter registration, phone
calls, and data entry," she said. "The Democrats in
Beaufort County have already made more phone calls than
any other county in the state, and we hope to help
continue that."
Blaine Lotz, Beaufort County's Democratic Party
chairman, said boosting Democratic votes could be a
deciding factor in a number of the state's races.
He said volunteers in northern Beaufort County made
about 1,700 phone calls and knocked on 150 doors
Saturday as part of their effort to find and motivate
area residents to vote for the state's Democratic
candidates.
The Beaufort County Democratic Office opened Aug. 7
in Beaufort, Lotz said. The Beaufort office has about 70
volunteers staffing the phones and canvassing
neighborhoods, he said.
Rob Miller of Lady's Island, the Democrat challenging
Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson for the 2nd
Congressional District seat, spoke Sunday afternoon.
Miller told about 100 party organizers and supporters
that state campaign coordinators on Saturday made about
36,000 phone calls to residents around the state to
rally support for the party.
"We are one of the top races in the nation," he said.
"Make no mistake, it's going to be a tough fight. Every
race in South Carolina is going to come down to
grassroots efforts. And offices like the one here in
Hilton Head will make the difference."
Two years ago, Miller made a run at Wilson, but the
Lexington County Republican was elected a fifth
term,54-46 percent.
Miller said his campaign has focused on reaching out
to Republicans and Independents as well as Democrats to
bring attention to Wilson's "catastrophic" failures. He
said he will continue to speak to residents at small
gatherings, businesses and at residents' homes.
"I don't take any vote for granted," he said after
the event Sunday. "Wilson's failure cut across all party
lines. But every day, in every campaign, we have to
fight for every vote."
