It’s August…that means Labor Day is just around the corner.

Hi everyone. My name is S.R. Sidarth and I am the Communications Director at the DSSCC. We are planning to ramp up our online efforts in the areas of voter outreach, fundraising, and social networking, so plan to visit us at dsscc.org, on our Facebook page, and on our ActBlue pages early and often over the next 3 months.

Redistricting will occur after the 2010 census. If you don’t remember what happened after the 2000 redistricting, here are some headlines that tell you all that you need to know: "Court throws power to draw political districts to elected officials." "Justices Bow to Legislatures in Political Gerrymander Case." "Democracy Takes a Hit." This was all part of a strategy to eliminate 4 Democratic members of Congress by pitting our incumbents against one another. That is fitting from the party of “fuzzy math.”

Pennsylvania cannot afford for this perversion of democracy to repeat itself. That is why the State Senate Democrats need your help in 2008 to win 4 seats and take back control of the legislature. As the campaign trail heats up, please consider volunteering your time in support of your local candidate.

Thanks for reading and talk to you soon!
