Super Tuesday is over, and now it's time to weigh in on choices for the state June 3 primary--and Burbank Dems can forward ous in the DP-SFV framework. It's also time to elect officers, plus sound off on the rest of 2008 events: the elections, speakers and events we want.

In only our second year, after making state and federal contacts, one focus of the club this year is outreach to our city officials; another is spreading around the opportunities for more members to have a stake in club leadership--and yes, we have a list to fill! So, for the new members who have joined recently, others who have just found us, and the vets just warming up to 2008--all are welcome!
