The background for the June Meeting was full of exciting happenings in the political world.
A state senator was rumored to have taken a bribe to step down and surrender his office and control of the senate to the republicans.
Eric Cantor had lost his seat in the House to a unknown college professor and the republicans were in turmoil.
The voter ID laws were in the mist of restructure and no one was sure where the changes would land.
1040 people in Amherst county will be affected by the voter Id changes and the Amherst Democrats were seeking ways to help these people keep their right to vote.
In the larger world Iraq had fallen apart and the war dogs were barking with John McCain calling for the firing of the entire team that works with President Obama.
McCain who lives to send American sons and daughters to war zones in other countries had finally correctly predicted something and he was doing the tour of television and talk radio shows telling anybody who would listen that he was the smartest man ever beaten to a pulp in a presidential run.
Thank all the powers of the universe McCain was not elected president.
With McCain at the helm of our ship of state we would have to start an accelerated breeding program to supply warm bodies for all the countries he would wish to occupy.
That paints the background for the June meeting of the Amherst County Democrats, need I tell you it was a far ranging and lively discussion.
These photos are from the meeting .
As poscards from far away place often proclaim, wish you were here.
We meet monthly so make plans to join us every now and then.
