Freedom Democrats

Friends, members, Democrats, Independents, and everyone else (yes Republicans too):

There are many wonderful events happening over the next 40 days as we drive to the November 7 elections. We encourage everyone to attend at least 2, if not all of these events, as they are fun, bring together wonderful people, and educate.

More imortantly, these events give YOU, the voter, the opportunity to ask questions and listen to candidates viewpoints and positions on issues as they pertain to you. Please don't miss out.

The best way to find out about these events is to click this link now, http://www.localendar.com/public/PHILTERMEDIA/freedomdems. Most of the events for Miami Dade County are listed in this section of our site.

We do our best to update this calendar section with events from other Democratic and Democratic friendly organizations AND, thus, if you know of an event that we have missed, please let us know, by sending an email to Info@FreedomDems.org, and we will put it up on the site immediately.

Don't forget to VOTE on November 7 and make sure your friends do too!

It is our time to move this country in a truly compassionate and intelligent direction.

Respectfully submitted,

Freedom Democrats

Members and Friends of the Caucus:

We had another wonderful social mixer evening on Tuesday night at the National Hotel on South Beach with about 15 people attending the first part of the evening and another 10 showing up just before 9:00 pm. Six new members signed up!

Thank you to those who came - we really appreciate your enthusiasm!

To those of you who could not make it, we encourage you to come to our next event scheduled for Tuesday, October 24th. We are looking bring a nationally known figure to this event to speak to us and are holding it one week earlier this month due to Halloween.

As a reminder, we are very fortunate to host our social mixer an hour before the start of the famous Martini Tuesday, hosted by Edison Farrow, so please come to our event and then visit with other new friends thereafter.

The highlights of the social mixer:

1. Our new website is launched. You can now donate online, become a member and stay up to date on what is happening.

2. Congressional candidate Michael Calderin sent a representative for his campaign. Michael is charging ahead to win a "winnable" seat for the Democrats from Congressional District 25, please see http://www.calderin2006.com/new/ . He is THE Democrat candidate and has the full endorsement and support of the Freedom Democrats. Mr. Calderin’s district is approximately 40% registered Republicans and he has a real shot to unseat incumbent candidate Mario Díaz-Balart in November. Mr. Calderin is taking a leadership role on LGBT issues and we thank him for his dedication to support all Americans' rights. Michael needs our help...any donation is much appreciated.

3. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is having their annual dinner November 4 and honoring Julian Bond chairman of the NAACP, longtime civil rights activist and one of the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960 and Robert (Bob) Cole, who has long been a tireless, unsung hero for the LGBT and HIV/AIDS communities, please see http://www.thetaskforce.org/miami/06/index.html. The Freedom Democrats will be hosting one table. If you would like to be a part of that table, please email Chip Arndt at chip@arndtstrategies.com or call 310.770.7204 (cell).

4. We will be creating a voter's guide for Miami Dade which will be released to the public October 15. Please email us at Info@FreedomDems.org to get copies of this guide to hand out to people.

Your Caucus is here for you. Only with your help can we elect officials who will be there for you when it counts today and for years to come. We are all in this together!

Respectfully submitted,

Chip Arndt
