Thanks to everyone who helped build an amazing float this year, to celebrate our fabulous farmers! And to those who walked with our float in the parade.

We couldn’t ask for better folks in our group! Special kudos to Janet Schultz, Ann Sinclair-Nelson and Marilyn Cassidy.

“VIRTUAL” POSTCARD WRITING EVENT

PLEASE JOIN YOUR FELLOW OCEANA COUNTY DEMOCRATS IN THIS ACTION

“It would only take a couple of Republicans to defect to begin the end of this administration."

– Adam Kinzinger
Former Republican Representative

With Republican Senators Collins and Murkowski, both expressing fear and concern about the administration…imagine if we all flooded their mailboxes with postcards urging them to put country over party!! 

So…..Let’s do it!!
Let’s all write postcards to each of these two Senators. You can do it in the comfort of your own home, two postcards, one to each Senator.

Here are suggestions of what you might write on the back of your postcards to each Senator:

Dear Senator_______,

1) You are not alone in your fear, there are millions of Americans who are afraid too but who will support you if you make a stand for the rule of law, the constitution and for what is morally right. We so need a heroine right now! Please be our heroine, put country before party!
or
2) It would only take you and a couple of your Republican colleagues to stop this madness. Millions of Americans would cheer you on, we are with you! Have courage, change the course of history, and put country before party!
or
3) Please make a stand, put country before party and begin to end the madness. Millions of Americans will support you. Have faith & courage

Then sign it, “Your fellow American, ______”

And on the return address on the front of the postcard put your state with your zip code.

Here are the addresses for each Senator:

Senator Collins, 68 Sewall St., Room 507, Augusta, ME, 04330
Senator Murkowski, 510 L Street, Suite 600, Anchorage, AK 99501

Let us know how it goes, so we can keep a count of how many postcards we send! Email us at oceanacountydems@gmail.com when you have completed your Virtual Post Card Writing.

Thank you! Let’s take action! Together WE can make a difference!

P.S. You can purchase blank, prestamped postcards at your local post office!

WOW! THANK YOU! WE ALMOST MADE IT TO $3,000!

The 2026 Election Campaign will get a strong start, thanks to you!

We raised $2,850! We can’t tell you how important this is. Given what’s been happening in California (6/6/25-6/8/25), it’s likely we don’t have to tell you. You already know. We must at least slow down this administration at midterms. You have helped make this more possible, and we appreciate you!

2 Easy Ways to Use Your Voice to Effect Change. We are stronger than we think!
