"Central Committee Members and Local Committee Chairs,

Thanks for all your hard work in 2009. As we transition into 2010, the DPVA leadership would like to hear from you about success stories and challenges on the local level. We know that the local committees are where the action happens -- and we want to get your advice before moving into a crucial 2010 cycle.

That's why DPVA staff will be coming to you for "roundtable" discussions with all the central committee members and local committee chairs. We believe it's important to take the lessons learned from this past year and refocus the DPVA towards the 2010 elections and support President Obama's agenda in Washington. So, please join us.

Please respond to this email to RSVP.

Thanks for all you do and I'll see you out on the road,

Don

I am a member of the Central Committee through membership on the 6th District Democratic Committee. Since the Roanoke meeting was held Sunday, November 22, and today is Monday, November 23, I certainly was not in attendance at the "roundtable" to discuss our "success stories and challenges on the local level."

Is there anyone out there who needs further proof of just how dysfunctional the headquarters people of the party are? And they wonder why the Organizing for America people don't want to give them confidential information!
