May 12, 2012--Congressman Jim
Moran, Democratic Party of Virginia Chairman Brian Moran, and former
(and future?) gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe compare notes as
deputy field director Brian Gill makes introductory remarks.
|
|
"Alexandria will deliver
Virginia for Barack Obama," declared DPV chairman Brian Moran.
"The people will deliver this election, not the money of corporations,"
Moran said.
|
|
"We win this, we win the White
House," said Terry McAuliffe.
|
|
Congressman Jim Moran declared,
"We know what's at stake." He cited House Republicans' passage
Thursday of a reconciliation bill which would cut food stamps and other
domestic programs "to preserve the tax cuts in the Ryan Republican Tea
Party budget." Wwe're in this together," Moran said.
"That's a deep, fundamental conviction of the Democratic Party and of
President Obama."

Among those in the crowd were
several candidates including Maureen Markham, who is running to be a
delegate to the Democratic National Convention, and Melissa Feld, who
is running in the June 12 Democratic primary for Alexandria City
Council.
|
|
Debra Cohen, the field organizer
in charge of the office, received the keys about three weeks ago, and
worked hard to ensure a smooth opening.
