Removing this person's name until I get permission to use it....
"Got an email from Sasslow's VA Senate Caucus praising their accomplishments, and in my return email I noted that Dems were disappointed that they let legislation "slip through the crack" which will close abortion clinics. Their reply? "We are removing you from our mailing list!" Instead of fighting Republicans, they get rid of an Obama delegate and precinct captain who works hard for the Party. Brilliant?"
Nothing like kicking folks who disagree with you off the mailing list. That's a great way to make friends and influence people.

That's really terrible. Not only did their actions during the session show they were asleep at the wheel but know refusing to accept any responsibility or at least acknowledge the concern of whoever wrote this. This isn't an individual concern of just the writer but rather many in the Democratic community.
The last thing the party needs is to be reducing the amount of people they contact and can reach out to, especially with elections coming up. Who knows...Maybe I'm wrong?

What Delegate seat are you running for again, Brian?
Posted by: Stewart | March 25, 2011 at 10:57 PM
Must be run by the same guys that run Blue Virginia.

We'll see in a week, Stewart. I'm in the 35th right now, but I don't expect to be next week.

Feel free to use my name per my note to you, where I included the complete record of the correspondence

I expect we will be in the 37th. But things are very fluid and anything can happen.

You were one of the people I had on my short list Howard of people who that could have been! If the party is getting rid of people like Howard then we're in for a long year coming up!

First, thanks for the comments above. Well, I think you guys had a little influence, I got an apologetic email yesterday, which I found amusing. I am so lucky to be back on that mailing list :)
