WDP Releases Statement on Biden’s Decision
You can read Chairman Barbuto’s statement on the WDP website HERE.
You should register as a Democrat
Mandy Weaver, Comms Director at WDP, posted this piece today.
The “lesser of two evils” is still…evil.
Mandy starts one of her paragraphs with that. Here’s how that plays in Johnson County. Even the moderate Republicans here are pro-life, anti-freedom, pro-coal, anti-planet, pro-business, anti-people, pro-christian, anti-government, et cetera.
A lot of people say, they’ll vote Republican until there are good Democratic candidates. That’s almost like saying, I’ll just keep using this heroin until somebody invents a way for me to feel better without it. Since everyone is busy using the same heroin nobody actually gets around to doing any inventing.
So, read Mandy’s piece and join in on being here for good!
Example of ReUse
Fremont County, in addition to putting a good ad in their paper, also used some content from recent WDP messaging. Check this out:
From Fremont County
The Fremont County Democratic Party recently posted an ad in various local publications. I thought it worth sharing. I’ve altered the clerk info to use Johnson County Clerk info. The photo is below and the text is included here in case you want to just share that. -Greg
Due to a recent change in the law, you no longer can change your party affillation on the day you vote. Don’t miss out on your chance to make your voice heard! The deadline to change party affiliation on an existing voter registration is approaching on May 15th. Make sure your voter information is up to date so you can participate in shaping Wyoming’s future!
Contact the Johnson County Clerk at (307) 684-7272 for more information.
