Future Democrats join in The Democratic Reunion

From the Daily Journal:

Mississippi Democrats will gather around the state today as part of a national push for the November elections.

"We want to get out and reach voters in person," Howard Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told the Daily Journal in a telephone interview. "I think one reason we've gotten ourselves in trouble in the past is we let Republicans define who we are. The Democratic message is about a new direction and new opportunity for the future. We are going to be talking about that all across the country."

Dean will not be in Mississippi this time around, but he said the state party is on the move.

"We've won four special legislative elections and we've got great candidates like Ken Hurt," Dean said, referring to the Democratic nominee for the 1st District U.S. House seat held by Rep. Roger Wicker. "The whole state party has been reinvigorated. The gatherings this weekend are part of that."

Mississippi Democrats have been holding events all week long. This weekend teven more Reunion activities are scheduled. Demiktric Biggs sent in some early photos and info:

In the above photo, the location is the infamous Neshoba County Fair held annually outside of Philadelphia, MS. Our Democratic nominee for U.S Senate, Erik R. Fleming spoke to a crowd filled with "Blue Dot Brigaders" about what he will do for Mississippi if elected in November. Hundreds of people from all over Mississippi came to here the speeches.
