Yesterday marked the official opening of the College Democrats of America’s convention. The convention, which runs until Wednesday, will be filled with prominent speakers, vital training sessions, and young student activists. More importantly it offers the opportunity for College Democrats and Students for Barack Obama to come together and conceive a united game plan for the fall that benefits both organizations. Working closely with SFBO is on the platform of all of the candidates for executive office within CDA. At SFBO we could not possibly agree more.
Candidates in local and statewide races all across the country are echoing Barack Obama’s message, our message: a message of new politics, cooperation, and change. CDA’s primary mission is to elect Democrats in all of these races. Our mission is to elect Senator Barack Obama as the next President of the United States. Thankfully the two are not mutually exclusive. In order to elect our candidate as well as make sure that the message of this campaign, this campaign that can change a country, we need to work together.
At a panel yesterday on youth politics we talked about shared areas of interest. We can register voters together. We can canvass together. We can hold joint meetings. We have a short amount of time left, but students identified with Barack Obama’s vision for our country and a coalesced with the campaign quickly in the primary. We are confident that if we work together, if we turn out, when we turn out, we will be the difference makers in the general election as well.
