A message from Blaine Lotz, President – Democratic Club South of the Broad,

Welcome fellow Democrats and those of you interested in our South of the Broad Club!  We are pleased that you are visiting our website.  The Club is an organization of some 500 active Democrats in Hilton Head, Bluffton and nearby locales south of the Broad River.  Along with the Sun City Club and North of the Broad Club, we are a part of the Beaufort County Democratic Party.  We are excited about the Democratic Party's prospects in the 2008 presidential election.  We are working diligently to showcase our wonderful presidential candidates here in Beaufort County between now and the presidential preference primary scheduled for January 29, 2008.  We will be working hard in this next year to reverse recent election trends in our community, state, and nation through voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts.  Active precinct leadership is paramount if we are to turn the tide and help elect a Democratic president in 2008.  If you want to join us and help in this endeavor or need more information about the Club or any of our activities, feel free to contact me or any of our officers at the phone numbers or e-mail addresses on this page.  I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve Democratic victories.   

Sincerely, Blaine
