The Democratic Dispatch is a more or less weekly e-mail newsletter for Democratic events across the state. Your editors are Kate Donaghue and Matt Shear. Pace Willisson handles the tech stuff and "Dispatch Team" members include Pat Mosca and others. We edit this as volunteers as our way of promoting the Democratic Party, Democratic candidates and the Democratic Platform. The positions represented in the regular "Greetings from Kate" or "Greetings from Matt" reflect our personal positions, and not those of the Democratic Party.

You are also welcome to send us appropriate jokes. We look for jokes that are funny, political, topical, and highlight the absurdities of our political opponents. Please remember that despite our editorial independence the joke will inevitably reflect on the Democratic party, so while we appreciate all of the submissions, there are some that I will keep in my "censored jokes" file.

Thanks! Kate Donaghue (and Matt Shear)

I am on the Advisory Board of the High School Democrats of America, the parent organization of the Massachusetts group. There is a summit in DC at the end of June. The organization is currently accepting applications from students and mentors.

E-Mail Lists/Campaign Contacts
SEND ME INFORMATION ON YOUR LIST If your list is not listed here, or the information that I have needs to be changed, just send an e-mail to DDemDispatch-owner@yahoogroups.com.

Please sign up for the lists that suit your needs. If it turns out a list doesn't suit you, just opt out. In some, but not all of these groups, it helps to write a note as to why you want to join.
