SHOCKED, PROUD AND DETERMINED

I am SHOCKED at Trump’s win. I was sure Kamala Harris would win by a landslide. She almost won, but she came in second. It was a narrow loss, and a painful one. Why did most voters decide to re-hire the same dangerous, cruel criminal they fired 4 years ago?

I am PROUD of Kamala Harris and of our Ramona Democrats club.  In 3 months, Kamala built a near-perfect campaign, and almost won.  In 7 months, Ramona Democrats built from nothing to over 100 members.  We worked hard to bring the Democratic Party to Ramona. I am DETERMINED to continue to support each other, and to provide a Democratic voice for Ramona.  We must provide an ongoing balance against the perverted politics of the MAGA movement.  To make that happen, we need to learn and grow together.

Bringing Democrats to Ramona was hard work, but good work.  Now, let’s take a short break, with NO MEETING in December. 

Instead, let’s plan for next year.  Your ideas are welcome.

Our club is now officially chartered by the SD County Democratic Party, as one of over 50 such clubs in the county. 

Congratulations and thanks to all who helped us reach this important goal.

100 years ago, women couldn't vote. This year, women had the opportunity to elect the first woman as President!

Results show women of color turned out for VP Kamala Harris. Unfortunately, white women were more inclined to vote for a republican male versus a woman.

Will a woman ever be voted into the Presidential office? VP Harris lost this election by just over 1%. We were so close! Many say there may have been issues with this election due to the Russian meddling.

All of this means there is hope for the future for a woman leader. It is way past time. During these next two years we must find a woman leader who can be a democratic centrist, who can successfully straddle the fence for both parties including independents.

It will happen! I hope it happens in our lifetime!

President Gerald Ford said it best. when asked what would happen once a woman was elected president "Once that barrier is broken, from then on, men better be careful because they’ll have a hard, hard time ever even getting a nomination in the future."

For a treat, watch Put a Woman in Charge by Keb'Mo' and Roseanne Cash on Youtube.

Now that the election is done - we need to focus on the next one and lay the groundwork for success.

Republicans played the long game and won. We need to do the same.

Have you ever thought “I could be a congress rep”? But then thought no, I’m just a voter.

Normal U.S. citizens like you have run for office and become leaders. It takes hutzpah, some elbow grease and willingness. Most importantly, a good heart and energy.

Don’t underestimate your abilities. There are resources for those interested in running for office.
Here is a link to the requirements for a congress member in CA.

Ask a club member for contacts if you’re interested in running for office whether locally to just Ramona or larger areas in CA.

As our club grows, so do the opportunities to get involved.
