Baton Rouge

On January 24th, our Draft Team attended a specially called meeting of the Louisiana Democratic Party Central Committee in Baton Rouge. Party leaders from across the state gathered to elect a replacement for outgoing State Party Chair man Jim Bernhard.

Frank Clark, our State Director has been working hard to put together a great crew. Mike Hinton, one of our Congressional District Coordinators was there. Patrick & Joseph came up from New Orleans. Steve Deak, DMW Southern Regional Director, came over from Atlanta.

The Draft Team networked with a lot of Democrats, passed out a lot of Warner Gear, and got a very warm response to a Mark Warner candidacy in 08. We also got television coverage on the 6 pm and 11 pm news!











Carol Allen of Paris, France has a home in the historic district of New Orleans. Her home survived Katrina quite well but she was back in the city helping others who did not fair so well.

Carol has become a real friend to the Draft and to me personally. Carol's on her way back to Paris and we are going to miss her. She's not abandoning this effort. She's going to start an Americans Abroad for Warner !

There is no doubt the State of Louisiana is in good hands! Our Draft Team down there is off to a great start.
