START THE NEW YEAR WITH THE OTMDEMS: ALABAMA DEMS START ON A NEW DIRECTION Is there hope for the Alabama Democratic Party? Hear the experts talk about what happened and what could happen featuring Judge Mark Kennedy slated to be chair of the Alabama Democratic Party, chair of the Jefferson Country Democratic Party, Alabama head of Organizing for America and Representative Merika Coleman. Its a new year and time to start creating a new direction for Democrats in Alabama. Since the November election, there has been a lot of hand wringing and questions….where did it all go wrong??? Could we have done anything differently??? Who is to blame??? Most importantly, how do we go forward from here to revitalize, reshape and most importantly, re-connect with the voters??? This month, the OTMDems will start asking those questions of those who may hold the answers. Mark you calendars for January 18, 2011 at 6:30PM at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens as we start to ask the hard questions and look to Democratic leaders….and to you our members for answers and pathways to progressive leadership and thought in Alabama government.
