We recently had quite a bit of presidential activity here with both the Clinton and Obama campaigns in town for about six weeks.  Each group had occasion to use our county headquarters and each commented on how lucky we are to have a permanent headquarters located in the heart of downtown South Bend.  I realize how fortunate we are.  Just here in Indiana I know of many communities that do not have the funds to have a permanent headquarters.  When election time runs around the Democratic Party rents space on a short term basis then has to turn around and move out after election day. 

However, keeping a headquarters up and running is not easy.  It takes time, dedication and money.  The first two we have plenty of; we need help with the third.  That is why I have set up an Act Blue page for donations to the St. Joseph County Democratic Party:

Before we can begin to help our yearly slate of Democratic candidates, we need to cover our mortgage payment, the utility bill, phone and internet costs.  Once election season begins we have other expenses as well: paper products (TP, paper towels, copy paper, etc...), pop, water and snacks for volunteers, and office supplies.  We have asked our local Democratic family for help and now I am reaching out to the Democratic internet family.

If you would like to pitch in to help fellow Democrats, you may use Act Blue and your credit card to make a one time gift or set up a recurring donation.  As little as $10 a month gives us $120 a year.  If we can get ten people to do that we will have $1,200 a year to work with.  With your help we can not only pay our bills and supply our headquarters but we can make our Party the best it can be for the people of St. Joseph County.  Democratic headquarters is there for all Democrats 24/7, 365.  Can you be there for us?
