Greetings from the Libertyville Township Democrats!

March 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment

The LIBERTYVILLE TOWNSHIP DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION (LTDO) is a grassroots volunteer organization that has been meeting and working together for over a decade.

We often hear residents say “I thought I was the only Democrat in my neighborhood”. We can assure you that is not the case. While the Republicans have traditionally held a majority in this area, much has changed in the past ten years and is still changing.

Republicans Voting ‘No’ On Health Care Reform At Their Own Peril

March 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Kennedy cited recent figures released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee showing the benefits of the bill that Foxx is opposing: 12,000 people with preexisting conditions could get insurance; 119,000 Medicare beneficiaries would have the doughnut hole closed in their prescription coverage; 800 families would be kept from going bankrupt from medical costs; and more than 14,000 small businesses would be subsidized to provide health insurance to their employees.

Health Care Callers Swamp Capitol Hill Switchboards

March 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Not even college basketball fans will be able to escape the health care hubbub this year. The National Republican Campaign Committee just released a post-vote ad that will target Democratic lawmakers who vote for health care reform. The spot will air during March Madness basketball games and calls on specific congressmen to “stop the madness.” For Capitol Hill interns, the madness has already started. The Hill reports that House phone lines were deluged with health care calls on Tuesday, prompting the House’s chief administrative officer to warn offices that “our phone system is nearing capacity.” Talking Points Memo says the thousands of callers are targeting House Democrats who haven’t made up their minds on health care reform. Those are some of the same representatives the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has in its sights as it prepares for its biggest election season ever. The Washington Post reports that after spending a record-breaking amount of money on campaigns in 2008, the Chamber has doubled its budget and could spend more on 2010 races (largely in support of Republican candidates) than either political party.

LTDO MAR 10 Meet & Greet Recap

March 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Hi Libertyville Township Dems & Supporters,

Wow. What a fantastic Meet & Greet event last night. It was great to meet new people and visit with old friends. We are excited to welcome new members Debbie Boucher, Lisa Kennedy, Jim Spencer, Cathy OBrien, Sharon Sanders, Kathie Shur. I hope I didn’t miss anyone! We had a fine time. I’ll be posting pictures of the event soon.

Our next meeting is scheduled for WED APR 14, 7:00-9:00p, location to be determined. Agenda items will include an update on planning for the Summer festivals/parades and more.

We’ve got something exciting started and we’re just beginning. We have seven months before the general election. We can do a lot in that time to help get Democrats elected in November!

We’re looking for volunteers to help plan the LTDO events at the Libertyville & Mundelein festivals and parades AND our OCT 30 GOTV event. Let me know if you’re interested in working on one of these committees.

Best Regards,

Tom Jurgens
Chair, LTDO
