Amherst County Democrats and The Mid-Terms

Amherst County Democratic Committee


To All Amherst County Democrats:

Dear Friends,

You've may have been wondering what's going on with Amherst Dems.    Here's an update:

The Committee will meet at Amherst CVCC, Tuesday 9/14, 7PM. Everyone is welcome.     It is especially important for Precinct Reps to attend (see list below).     Skipper Fitts, Vice Chair, will preside.


While we have no Democratic candidates on the ballot for November, we should lend our support to our neighbor, Tom Perriello, in the 5th CD.     The nature and extent of that support will be decided upon at the meeting next Tuesday.


Skipper has already been in touch with the Perriello campaign and they would welcome our support.     A possible collaboration with Nelson County Democrats will be discussed.


Reminder that the Garlic Festival will take place Saturday October 9th and Sunday October 10th, 10 AM to 5 PM rain, or shine. Volunteers are needed.

Some members have suggested that we have a social event this fall. There may be an opportunity to cosponsor this event with the Sweet Briar Young Democrats.    If so it could be held at the Elston Inn where we held events in 2008.    Guest speakers and other details will be discussed.


On a personal note, I have been dealing with some health issues these last few months, and apologize to all for the lack of activity on my part.


The core of the Committee has always been a group of dedicated, generous, active individuals.     They are the backbone of the Democratic Party in Amherst County.     Please show your support by attending the next meeting.

Best Regards,




David Burford
