Let's Clean Up This Mess

Being a Democrat is about more than politics. It's about more than rock and roll and sexy women and hot men. It's about more than just good times.

Really. It is.

We're a group of Americans dedicated to improving our country, both through the choices we make at the ballot box and those we make at home. That's why we're dedicating this year's Democratic Reunion to a challenge we can all tackle together: the fight for a cleaner environment.

This year's Reunion won't be your normal house parties -- we're going to be planting trees, cleaning up local parks and beaches, and kicking off local recycling programs. But I'm still hoping someone brings the beer. Cleaning is enjoyable, but all that bending and stretching and discussions about affordable health care would be easier with a cool buzz.

This summer, let's work on making our towns greener places to live -- it's a good start to cleaning up the Republican mess in Washington.

Roll up your sleeves on Saturday, July 28 for a stronger Democratic Party and a cleaner America.
