The Lincoln County Democrats want to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for. We believe it is important to take at least a minute and speak a word of gratitude for the people, opportunities and gifts that have been give to us.
The Lincoln County Democrats will not have a meeting in December. Our next meet and greet will be on Thursday, January 8, 2009. Because January 1 falls on the first Thursday the LCD’s will met on the second Thursday, January 8, 2009. We will have several items on the agenda for the January meeting:
Inauguration Celebration: January 20, 2008, 6:00 pm at the Depot. Come join us for the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.

Scott made a campaign stop in North Platte on Sunday, November 2, 2008. He asked the 60 or so people who gathered at the North Platte airport to contact people they know and tell them why you are voting for Scott. Then ask them to vote for Scott. If each person who attended the meeting contacted 30 people think how many people we would personally invite to vote. It is very important to get out the vote Scott said.
If you are interested in volunteering there are many ways to get involved, please call Lucas at (402) 515-5780, email him or visit Scott’s website to sign up to volunteer today. There are only two days left now is the time to get involved.
