New Year's Wishes from the Editor to You

* That all Democrats in Franklin County register and VOTE in 2011and 2012

* That the members of Greencastle Antrim Democrats get involved and turn out for meetings and events and pay their modest $5. dues.

* That the Republicans in the State and the Congress don't do too much damage

* That everyone who wants a job gets a job

* That the corporations holding onto billions in assets use it to expand production and hire people

* That you have a productive, healthy and happy year

* That your children show their love and appreciation

* That you read a good book, see a good movie and hear some great music, and, in other words

Happy New Year!

Activists Cheer Sestak Who Visits to Say "Thank You"

Franklin County Democrats gave a warm welcome to their Senate Candidate Joe Sestak at a meeting at the Main Street Deli in Chambersburg at 8:30 am, Dec. 7. A good crowd of more than forty joined in a frank question and answer session about the candidate's campaign, his future plans, and the future for progressive ideas in Congress. Rep. Sestak said he had not made specific plans about any future campaigns but would stay in "public service." Rep. Sestak is visiting every county in Pennsylvania and left Chambersburg to attend a similar gathering in Fulton County.

Greencastle Democratic regulars staffed a booth at the town's Heritage Christmas celebration on Friday December 3 and collected contributions for the local food bank and the club, giving out free hot chocolate and cookies donated by members. There's another chance to join them and give visibility to the club on Friday, December 10. We are raffling off two ticket for a ride on the horse-drawn carriage on December 17 at 6:30 pm in return for contributions to the food bank.

DON'T FORGET OUR DECEMBER MEETING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2010. GOOD PLACE TO PLAN YOUR POLITICAL RESOLUTIONS FOR 2011.

*****FINAL NOTE: While you're distributing your end of year contributions, consider a contribution to the GreencastleAntrim Democratic Club. You can bring it to the meeting.
