Proud to be part of the Turn Around Ohio Team Exactly one week after the November election a group of dedicated volunteers met to discuss what could be done at a local level to help take our country back...out of this meeting arose this grass roots organization dedicated to helping get Democrats elected statewide. The Pickaway Dems extends sincere condolences To President Sherry Veazey we extend our most sincere condolences to her and the family on the passing on her father. We will miss such a devoted Democrat and good man. From the Gallipolis tribune...... Danny L.

The Pickaway Dems welcomes the participation of the County Party Committee in helping us to elect good Democrats to office here in Pickaway county. I want to thank the leadership of the committee but more importantly the individual precinct members who have worked with us to bring about unity in the party between our two groups. We look forward to working with the committee members and are committed to our common goal of party unity. Sherry Veazey President Pickaway Dems ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ President’s report Members and friends I am happy to report that the organization is thriving and remains very busy politically within our community. As most of you know, we have always been active in helping out local charities and good causes whenever possible and have sponsored many events through President Obama’s Service corps. From food banks, Toys for Tots, blood drives, litter pick up through the Adopt A Highway program, children’s charities, school events, Humane Society, to adopting a family during the holidays. We work with the local High School Government teachers in providing students an avenue to work off their Government credits and to satisfy their community service requirements. We host a Young Pickaway Dems group as well as the Donkey Club kids, who remains the youngest Dems group in the state. We have had the privilege of working for and with many honorable Democratic candidates throughout the state. As well as forging alliances with other grass roots Democratic organizations in the area. We welcome the new members to our group and honor our original founding members for their continued participation and support. I look forward to working with the Democratic leadership, City candidates, and you our valued members to help elect good Democrats to office this fall. Democratically yours Sherry Veazey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **ACTION ALERT** We already knew that dozens of Ohio's museums and historical sites may be closing.

Eternal Spirit, Author of Justice and Peace, hear our lament. We have suffered as in our names suffering has been inflicted. Our friends, members of our families and people whom we do not know return to us broken in body and spirit, desperately in need of healing, with pain so deep that we cannot imagine it. Lord of us all, we have died as in our names killing has been done. We mourn those known to us and those we do not know, those from our country and those of other lands. We cry out at the injustice of seeing innocents savaged in our name. We protest: All must be done to see this carnage end; all must be done to keep it from happening again! Gracious and Holy One, we celebrate life. We are thankful that we have been blessed so that we may be a blessing. Help us to hear our Neighbor in her or his need and share our blessing freely. Help us to climb to the very peaks of human endeavor, to look out beyond our present day and to work toward a just and peaceful world where war is no more and the human child and all of nature will live in harmony. We ask this as people who humbly seek to be a faithful part of your Creation. Amen. Tom Brownfield March 19, 2009 We are accepting new members into the Young Pickaway Dems group.
