Yesterday, on behalf of the N.H. Young Democrats, I had the privilege to officially unveil "603 Forward." "603 Forward" is the NHYD campaign to elect 31 Young Democratic candidates for state rep in 2008, including Blue Hampshire's own Doug Lindner, Sean Doyle and Andy Sylvia.
The NHYDs have committed to promoting and supporting these candidates this fall politically and financially. We're online, working together, at www.NHYOUNGDEMOCRATS.ORG and the social networking sites. We're already raising money on the "603 Forward" Act Blue page, with 100% of all contributions going to NHYD state rep candidates.
Not only are we active with the netroots though, we're active with the grassroots. NHYD's statewide canvassing efforts will encourage NH's young adults to vote all the way down the ballot, especially for our young state rep candidates. Young voters have a choice in November - not just between left and right, Democrat and Republican, but between the past and the future. The 31 candidates below represent the future.
Something is happening in New Hampshire. As the Republican party looks backward, with the same old candidates talking about the same old failed policies, New Hampshire's young voters, who accounted for over 16 percent of the vote in January's presidential primary, are looking forward. That's why we named our campaign "603 Forward."
NH's Young Democrats are organized, united and ready for change because no generation has more at stake in this election than today's young adults. NHYD is committed to bringing fresh, new, progressive perspectives and judgment to Concord in 2009, focusing on local issues and the significant,unique challenges facing New Hampshire's young adult population.
The change generating such enthusiasm with NH's young adults - change that grows our economy, provides healthcare for all and cleans our environment, change that doesn't divide us but rather unites us - that change starts with electing Young Democrats to office this November. I know they will appreciate Blue Hampshire's support. Thanks Hamsters!
