Chapter leaders--you have already heard about VAYD's Chapter Campaign Contest, in which your chapter can win a table at JJ, a VIP visit to your chapter, and ticket to the 2010 JSR dinner. Now we have another prize to throw into the mix. Courtesy of Terry McAuliffe, the individual Young Democrat that collects the most points for their chapter--by registering the voters, making phone calls and knocking on doors--will win a spot at a dinner with President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister Tony Blair!

Hello Virginia Young Democrats! In your communities and college towns, your efforts and your votes can put Tom Perriello, Gerry Connolly, and Glenn Nye over the edge. I know that each an every chapter will be hitting the doors and the phones for victory, but we want to put you to the test. With the generous support of the Democratic Party of Virginia, we are going to offer prizes to the three chapters who make the biggest impact!

In the midst of the worst oil disaster in United States’ history, the Senate had an opportunity this summer to take decisive action and pass comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation. Instead, our senators decided to cast aside the chance to begin a transition to a clean energy economy. As young voters directly affected by the energy crisis and economic downturn, we have reason to be outraged and disappointed.

VIRGINIA YOUNG DEMOCRATS STAND IN
FAVOR OF COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM
VAYD denounces AG Cuccinelli’s proposals to discriminate against hardworking Virginians

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced that law enforcement officers can ask about immigration status of anyone stopped or arrested. This condoned discrimination is not just ineffective, it also undermines the hard work that hundreds of thousands of immigrants do in Virginia every day.

Courtesy of our friends at the Democratic Party of Virginia, we get a glimpse of what Ken Cuccinelli's reckless crusade against our state's education system really means.
