As promised, we will soon be having a NYC kossack meetup/victory party. Our last party was back in the summer at the shake place. We had beautiful weather, a great crowd and free perrier.
That spot was perfect, but I'm thinking of something a little bit more "indoors" for the next one.
I may have already found a venue, and wanted to run a couple of dates by you:
Tuesday, December 2
Wednesday, December 3
Vote in the poll below and let's choose a date. For those of you who can't make it either night, know that we will also plan to have a (probably smaller) meetup between Christmas and New Year's when kath25 will be visiting).
How great would it be if our meetup celebrated not only the Nov. 4 Obama victory and gains in the House and Senate, but also a Jim Martin win over Saxby Chambliss in Georgia's runoff election?
Do you want to play a role in making that happen? Below is a list of upcoming Jim Martin events in NYC. As fivethirtyeight notes, runoff elections are all about turnout/GOTV. Let's all do our part to get Georgia Democrats back to the polls!
LOW-DOLLAR FUNDRAISER
I'm on the host committee of a low-dollar fundraiser tomorrow, Monday, November 24 from 6:30 - 8:30 on W. 12th Street. Jim will be calling in from Georgia to talk to us! You can view the invitation on facebook.
