Super Tuesday Fundraiser -
Media Democratic Committee
Whether you’re undecided, or a supporter of
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John Edwards, you’re invited! The
Media Democratic Committee is hosting a Super Tuesday Fundraiser on
February 5th from 7:30 to 9:30pm at Joclyn’s in Media. A $20
contribution gets you free draft beer and snack food in addition to
the company of a lot of other people who care about the elections.
After 9:30pm there will be Happy Hour prices for drinks.
Super Tuesday, February 5th, is the day on which 22 states and 1
territory will award 52% (1681) of all pledged Democratic
Presidential delegates. Over 40% of the Republican delegates will be
chosen on the same day. The results might leave one candidate
standing; or we may learn that the PA primary in late April could
actually be extremely important.
Joclyn’s is located upstairs at 109 West State Street in downtown
Media. They have at least 8 televisions and a wall projector screen.
Anyone in Delco who cares about politics or who wants to hear or
offer an ‘informed’ analysis of the results will be welcomed! For
ticket information contact Bill Kreider, Chairman of the Media
Democrats at 610-565-9926, buy tickets on-line at
www.hometownevents.org, or simply show up at Joclyn’s that evening.
