Our trip to Ohio ended with a solid plan in place for a summer of organizing with an experienced and enthusiastic new staff ready to lead the charge. With goals set to identify 50,000 new activists and Democratic voters over the next three months, the Ohio Democratic Party is gearing up to run a successful 2008 campaign. Now that the planning is done, the only thing left to do is secure the technology to make it work.

Out of date software, inadequate technology and a lack of the physical infrastructure are hindering the Party,s ability to fully implement their plan. To help them overcome this challenge, we are setting a goal of raising $12,000 to help fund their technology needs. Please help us meet our goal by contributing $100 or more today.

While we will continue to assist the Ohio Democratic Party, our summer tour continues with a trip to the Florida Democratic Party in Tallahassee. The Florida Democratic Party is building a stronger organization under the microscope of national attention. Its role as one of the most intensely watched swing states makes it critical that the state party be prepared to deal with the multitude of campaigns, organizations, media and grassroots leaders who will be descending on the state in the upcoming cycle.

Our time in Florida will be spent building a wide array of online support tools for every department of the Party. Additionally, we will be working with staff to ensure they are ready today for the fight tomorrow. To find out more about the state of the Florida Democratic Party check out the briefing page at:
