Washtenaw: Democrats

On the Huffington Post, Chris Savage gives an extensive report on the Oct. 3 annual dinner of the Washtenaw County Democratic Party, including experts from several speeches and a slide show: “Three U.S. Congressmen were in attendance. The first was freshman Representative Mark Schauer, a young, vibrant and optimistic Congressman. The second was Representative John Dingell, the longest-serving member in Congress today and a man who has introduced a single-payer health care bill every year for 52 years. The third was a pioneer in the Civil Rights Movement, a man jailed over 40 times, beaten and bloodied for his views and actions, Representative John Lewis from Georgia. He attended President Obama’s inauguration as the only living speaker from the civil rights’ March on Washington.” [Source]
