Next Meeting
Thursday Jan 19th, 2012

Clovis Democratic Club meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at the HomeTown Buffet, in Clovis, located at 458 West Shaw Ave. at Peach. Meeting begins at 6:00PM, but many members arrive early to partake in the Buffet. Use caution when entering Hometown as construction is just about finished to the facade at the shopping center.

Message from President Lucy:

There are several turmoils on the local, state and national level. Mostly all are related – money dictates the direction of the resolution of these issues. Education is at the top of the list of current concerns- Wisconsin teachers, plus some others, just lost their collective bargaining rights!

Locally the school districts are predicting “pink slips” for teachers, no mention of decreasing administrators? The first level of cuts should be administrators not teachers – has this been researched objectively? Jeopardizing our children and grandchildren’s education seriously affects the welfare of our entire country.

People voted down a tax increase in the past, will Californians support our Governor’s request for the tax imitative in June? Bothing comes free, if the government assists with expenses then we need to have taxes. I am very anxious to hear what our March speaker has to say about these issues.

We can affect state and national concerns by working diligently on our local issues ---- and making progress for solutions.

God Bless America! Lucy.

Clovis Fest - Old Town Clovis
Big thanks to all who staffed the booth at this years Clovis Fest, held last Sept.17th and 18th. It was nice to be back on Pollasky instead of being off on a side street. The better location made it possible for many more Clovis Dems to find us!

Most Tea Partiers favor Medicare...
They just don't know that it's run by the Government!
