Is anyone else becoming numb to all the spewing from the White House regarding the tug of war between opening our world and people continuing to die daily? It has become so dystopian that the only thing we can do is to focus on the upcoming election.
Meanwhile . . . We have our Zoomathon. Coming up tonight is Andru Volinsky’s Town hall Meeting which sounds like a not-to-be-missed event. After that there are practically daily Zoom dates so get your calendar in order and try not to miss any!
Saturday, May 9 is the NHDP convention and platform acceptance. All our favorites will be there so let’s hope the weather is as bad as predicted so we can stay in and watch the entire event. Their special guest is Stacey Abrams who is on the short list for VP.
Speaking of that short list, we’re highlighting Val Demings this week. We met Val Demings during the impeachment hearings where she was a house manager . . . and she definitely did not disappoint.
We are happy to be co-sponsoring with the Lebanon Dems, a Zoom series introducing the candidates for governor. Kudos to them for pulling this together. Slap those dates on your calendar!
And don’t forget to put the UVDems event on May 18 on that same calendar. As we all live in this universe of not understanding half of what is happening to us, it will be refreshing to have Russ Muirhead do some explainin’ and let us in on magical and conspiratorial thinking.
And finally we shed a big tear for, but highly respect, Martha Hennessey’s decision to step down. She knows we only live once and that her family needs her as much as we do. We will miss her voice in Concord BUT hopefully, she will still be the go-to person for our many political needs.
So stay home, stay sane, stay healthy . . . Til further notice.
