November 5, 2014 - The Beginning of Primary Season

for 2016. If you're not satisfied with the Democrats running in 2014, next Wednesday is the time to start promoting the candidates you prefer for the 2016 election. You can't start too soon. In your own districts, you can being the process of helping to select the Democratic candidates for the 2016 election in your own state and congressional elections. You can also participate in selecting candidates for President.

On November 4, 2014, you can elect the best possible candidates for office that were selected in the 2014 primaries and in the process that began much earlier than that. The ballots are all printed. Many people have already voted. The only thing left is for as many Democrats as possible to go to the polls to elect the Democratic candidate for each office on the ballot.

Then, the day after the election, it's time to begin selecting even better candidates for 2016 if you're not satisfied with the 2014 candidate selections. But on Tuesday, we have the choices we have and no time to get better ones this year. That time has already passed.

GOTV 2014 and Beyond!
