Hours before President Obama's health care address to Congress Sept. 9, Young Democrats at the University of Nevada, Reno held a rally to call attention to students' vulnerability as one of the largest uninsured groups in the nation.
"About 30 percent of young people, ages 19 to 24, don't have health insurance," said Sheila Leslie, rally keynote speaker and former chair of the Nevada Assembly's Health and Human Services Committee
"Furthermore," Assemblywoman Leslie said to the students, "Those of you who have access to health care on campus will lose it when you graduate. You are the future of this country, and we owe it to you to have affordable, quality health care."
Political Science student Ann Newsome was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a year ago. Without insurance, she works two jobs to pay for her doctor visits and medications. When she graduates, she has no hope for future insurance coverage because of her pre-existing condition.
"I've been told by the medical community that they've never seen a diabetic accepted for insurance," said Newsome, a 20-year-old student senator from the College of Liberal Arts.
"If students don't stand up for the right to universal coverage, we will be left behind," Newsome said. "A lot of students are very stressed out about this issue, and we need to mobilize because we're the ones who will have to pay for this in the future if we don't have reform."
Other speakers urging support for the President's health care reform were: David Bobzien, Nevada State Assemblyman; Adam Allen, student and member of the UNR Young Democrats of Nevada; Gracie Geremia, Speaker of the Student Senate; Teresa Navarro, State Director of Health Care for America Now; Matt McKnight, Northern Nevada Political Director, Friends for Harry Reid; and Dave Osolnick, Nevada Deputy Field Director, Organizing for America. |

Recently, Charlene Martinez - a
young, Democratic activist - said to me, "Although I'm young, I'm
starting to get disillusioned by politics. But the one thing I cling
to, is that if [Americans] can vote for Barack Obama as president,
then anything is possible. And I cling onto that for dear life."
Charlene is starting her second year at
the University of Nevada-Reno; she's 19 years-old and her first
caucus and first general election was dedicated to campaigning for
Obama. In my opinion, she's blessed to have come of age in this
remarkable and historic time.
But the alarming thing about my friend
is that her age belies her world-weary outlook on politics. She's
intelligent, optimistic and insightful, which is the cause of my
concern. If the brightest of the new generation of voters were
already beleaguered by the inherent compromises in the game of
politics, 10 months after the most historic election in America to
date, it doesn't bode well for the future. This age group was among
the first to be engaged by the presidential election, but the
politics-as-usual attitude of elected officials seems to be wearing
thin.
At this point, the onus falls on us -
as Washoe County Democrats
- to mentor our young Dems at every
level in the county, be it in high school or at the college level.
While the Young Dems at the University of Nevada Reno did great work
before the election and will undoubtedly continue to do so for the
2010 elections, we must be willing to extend our hands to them and
support every effort they make.
While Gov. Jim Gibbons' budget cuts
threatened the very existence of higher education in Nevada, our
Democratic, legislative leaders took on the mantle of leadership to
override his veto and allocate funding for the universities. But not
everyone nor every program was spared. How many professors will not
be returning this fall and how many courses that many students looked
forward to will no longer be offered? Eben Webber, the son of our own
executive director, is no longer able to earn his degree in
International Relations within four years because of budget cuts.
It's our responsibility as the local
Democratic activists to take this basic information and present it to
the student citizens and help them to see that without our party's
leadership in the last legislative session, more severe cuts would
have been made. It's our duty to illustrate that even with the
ideological shift that took place nationally with the presidential
election, state and local politics have a bearing on daily life. It's
our obligation to educate and inform the youth about the impact of
local elections and how the Washoe County Democratic Party can help
in terms of affiliation, resources and objectives on the immediate
political stage.
As Charlene said, we need to cling
onto that hope for dear life, if for nothing else than to teach the
younger generations of Democrats that sustains us and makes us
stronger.

 Guest Editorial: One Intern's Experience with the Dems
Emily Berry
| My experience interning at the Democratic Party has been amazing.
I have met so many wonderful people, many of them volunteers, who have dedicated
so much of their time to make sure that this party, and the state, is successful.
They have inspired me to go out and not only to be proud of what I believe in,
but also to take action.
I remember my first trip to the DMV, I was trying to
get support for the health insurance reform, and I was very uncomfortable
talking to people I didn't know; however, by the end of the day when I had
collected signatures, I could see the impact I was making and I know that is
what fuels the hundreds of volunteers who are out there every week.
Every day is
exciting because I never know what Shaun is going to have us do. I have been
given a number of tasks from calling volunteers to invite them to events, to meeting
local elected officials, rallying for clean energy and mapping out different
districts, as well as other things that may lead to successful victories in
2010. I came here knowing that I enjoyed politics but I didn't know that it is the volunteers who really fuel what politics means today.
Now that I know, I want
to do more -- to inspire people as I have been inspired and make a difference like
so many others here in the office. This is why I'm renewing my internship for the
fall semester, and I encourage anyone who has ever thought about being an
intern to come and join me. It's a little intimidating at first, but the people
here are all really nice, and we all have one common goal in mind -- to keep Nevada
blue. ___________________________________

Yesterday, August 4, was President Barack Obama’s birthday.
I didn’t know this until yesterday, when I came across a
number of news stories reporting the president’s date of birth. But, according
to these reports, a small, stubborn group of Americans do recognize this date as Obama’s birthday-a group that
irrationally clings to the idea that Obama is not an American citizen.
Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.
I don’t think the issue is much more complicated than that. But, these
detractors are steadfast in their belief that Obama was born, not in Honolulu’s
Kapiolani Hospital,
but rather in Kenya,
or Indonesia.
These “birthers,” as they’re called, claim that Obama has
persistently and methodically hidden his past from America.
They say that the Certification of Live Birth that the Obama camp released in
2007 to quash these rumors of non-citizenship is a fake, or is unsatisfactory.
It is true that the Certification
of Live Birth released by the campaign was created in 2007 and is not a genuine
Certificate of Live Birth, which
would have been created on the day Obama was born (and which, according to
Hawaiian law, cannot be released publicly).
But it is also true that Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the
Hawaii Department of Health, has repeatedly stated that Obama’s birth
certificate is on-file and does, in fact, exist.
The evidence against the birthers seems, to me,
insurmountable. I really can’t understand how these detractors can continually
rationalize their theories.
But, the birthers have another couple of arguments. First,
they claim that various Hawaii
newspaper announcements of Obama’s birth could easily have been planted by his
parents or grandparents, even if Obama himself was born in another part of the
world.
Also, in an editorial posted on FOXNews.com, Tommy De Seno
contends that Obama’s reluctance to release his school admission and financial
aid records show that he has something to hide, and that this reluctance runs
contrary to Obama’s pledge to enhance government transparency (though I fail to
see how Obama’s financial aid records from Occidental College will promote a
more thorough understanding of government activities).
These arguments, if anything, only detract further from the
birthers’ credibility. Why, then, do they stick to their misfiring guns? Is
this a crazed and malformed attempt to discredit Obama?
To me, it’s nothing more than a distraction.

Examining health care reform
Aaron Benedetti
Rep. Dina Titus's recent committee vote against H.R.3200,
the House's health care reform bill, highlights the struggles, questions and
confusion surrounding President Barack Obama's push to reform America's
health care system. Titus, who represents Nevada's
3rd Congressional District, revealed in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun that she chose to oppose the
bill because of concerns that possible tax increases could hurt small
businesses. Her defection from the Democratic voting bloc has raised controversy
across the state.
Obama left the task of formulating health care reform largely with Congress.
Congress, in turn, has produced bills and recommendations from three sources.
First, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, chaired by
Sen. Edward Kennedy, passed the Affordable Health Choices Act. Meanwhile, the
House put forward H.R.3200 (which has now been referred to committee), and the
Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Sen. Max Baucus, produced a number of
health policy recommendations.
Linked below are a set of articles that can help clarify the current health
care policy debate, ranging from articles that place the current struggle in a
historical context to editorials on Obama's and Congress's proposals.

At the July 7 WCDP Central Committee meeting, Chair Chip Evans
announced that the WCDP Board has engaged the temporary services of Mary
DeLaat, CPA. Ms. DeLaat has big-four accounting firm and public and private
company audit experience (primarily insurance companies and banks). Ms. DeLaat
also has insurance company financial and public reporting experience and
experience working on and with non-profit boards.
Ms. DeLaat will be providing a bridge until a new treasurer is in place, and
facilitating the transition to a new treasurer by having up-to-date and
reliable financial reports. She will provide needed professional services in
the following areas:
- Perform WCDP's day-to-day
accounting/bookkeeping function, training and using volunteers as deemed
prudent
- Review transactions from the
initiation of the new board's tenure and bring monthly statements current
- Prepare and submit mandated reports
to the Office of the Nevada Secretary of State
- Recommend and document "best
practices" for WCDP financial procedures derived from FEC
requirements and recommendations
- Counsel the board regarding
opportunities for expense reduction, efficiencies and improved practices
- Orient our new treasurer and provide
a smooth transition
The transactions review will be completed and monthly statements brought current in short order. Recommended written financial procedures will follow and will facilitate and guide the future work of the Treasurer and the Finance Committee. Ms. DeLaat's services are being paid for by generous donations solicited specifically for this purpose. We are extremely grateful for this support from our Democratic community. The WCDP Board believes that engaging professional financial services at this time is the most prudent and intelligent way to bridge to a volunteer treasurer and that this will make the position more active. We are still soliciting candidates for treasurer. If you know anyone appropriate for this important role, please let one of your WCDP Board members know.

Aaron Benedetti In the run-up to Nov.
4, 2008, the campus of the University
of Nevada, Reno,
was abuzz with political activity, so much so that The Nevada Sagebrush, UNR’s student-run campus newspaper, published
an article titled “Activists Invade Campus.” On Nov. 5, those activists disappeared, says Barry Belmont,
president of the UNR Students for Liberty,
a club that advances libertarian political philosophy. “As soon as the elections were over, the day after, the
local political clubs just all stopped immediately what they were doing,” Belmont,
a 21-year-old biology and mechanical engineering dual major, said. “SFBO
(Students for Barack Obama) had a meeting about a week after, and that was the
end of them. Same with the Young Dems, and the Young Republicans too.” Belmont says the 2010 midterm elections may be just as
important to Nevada, the Reno-Sparks community and UNR students as the 2008
elections, particularly following a state budget crisis and gubernatorial
efforts to cut over one-third from UNR’s general operating budget. However, activists
may find it difficult—perhaps impossible—to reawaken student interest. Jesse Mitchem, a 20-year-old biology student at UNR and
registered Republican, said he was actively engaged during the 2008 election
season, though he was not a member of any student political organization. He
said the level of interest he observed was “more than (he) had ever seen for
any election.” Mitchem said even as the 2008 election increased his
interest in politics, he expects to be just as interested in the 2010 campaigns
as he was in the 2006 midterms. “I don’t want the campaigns to last too long,” Mitchem said.
“We all knew Obama was going to win a long time before it was over.” Obama’s charisma contributed to the level of interest
students had in the 2008 election, Mitchem said, and because “there’s no one
who’s cool or different now,” it may be difficult to interest students in the
upcoming midterms. Belmont said
that supporters of Barack Obama were quite active on-campus during the 2008
election season and managed to evoke a good deal of attention. He believes this
was because “UNR could catalyze all the things that the (Obama) campaign stood
for.” State- and local-level politics, Belmont and Mitchem said,
just might not be as exciting as the big-leagues for most UNR students. Nonetheless, political activism on the UNR campus in the
post-election era is not nonexistent. Among the university’s many recognized
political clubs and organizations, the UNR Students for Liberty
remains active and engaged. Belmont
said he and his club plan to present a film called “How to Survive a Police
Encounter” shortly after the fall 2009 semester begins. He said the film examines
the potential conflicts between civil rights and maintaining public safety. Juliette Sweigart, a 20-year-old psychology major and
president-elect of the UNR Young Democrats Club, said her organization also has
plans for on-campus activity during the upcoming year, though she has noticed
that the level of student interest in politics has dropped since the 2008
elections. “The Young Dems as a club will definitely stay excited, but
we want to keep issues important to students,” Sweigart said. “We have even
encountered a lot of people who aren’t aware of the elections.” Sweigart noted that the Young Democrats plan to bring Nevada
Sen. Harry Reid to the UNR campus during the first week of the fall 2009
semester to help rouse student interest and involvement in politics. Sweigart and Belmont agree, however, in their predictions that
the 2010 midterm elections will not pique student interest to the level seen
prior to the 2008 elections. “There should be more interest than there will be, because
it will be an important election,” Belmont
said. “I doubt (our efforts) will be anywhere near as effective as they were in
2008.” Sweigart based her predictions on her experience during the
2006 midterm elections. She said student interest in politics is bound to drop
between presidential elections, but she believes the 2010 midterms may be
different. “I think there will be more interest (in 2010) with issues
like the budget cuts and education,” Sweigart said. “At least, I’m hoping there
will be more interest.” Belmont compared
student interest and the election cycle to the NBA. “Why do people stop caring about going to see basketball
games when the NBA season is over?” Belmont
asked. “It’s much easier to care about Michael Jordan rather than the Chicago
Bulls when the season is off, when there are only a few die-hard fans of the Bulls.
That’s how I think of it.”

An extraordinary gathering of local elected officials,
WCDP Exec Board members, our State Party Chairman, Sam Lieberman, and leaders
of Washoe’s Field Operations and Candidate Development Committees took place
recently to create a strategy for increasing our Democratic presence in Washoe
County in the 2010 election and beyond.
Our goal is clear – we want great Democratic candidates to
contest every 2010 election in Washoe County!
To that end, the County Party will actively seek strong candidates; we
will help prepare and develop them, and then support them with “feet on the
ground”.
The most urgent recommendation is to identify excellent
candidates NOW. First, I’d like you to consider whether you
might consider becoming a candidate. If
this isn’t for you, then I ask you to consider people you know who you believe
to be good potential candidates. If you
have someone in mind, I invite you to contact Pamela Brooks of our Candidate
Development Committee to discuss how best to approach your potential candidate.
Equally important, but perhaps less urgent, is the need to
identify Democrats willing to serve on one of the many important local boards
and commissions. We will publicize
vacancies in our local city and county governments. Experience on boards and commissions is
crucial to gaining an understanding of the work of our local government and are
the best opportunities to prepare for elected office.******
What follows is a list of other suggested actions and
strategies that came from last Saturday’s meeting:
WCDP
- Identify
potential shared resources for campaign management, fundraising, financial
reporting, and media buys.
- Identify
most promising target races, and in those races to conduct and make
available opposition research.
- Post
or create links to descriptions of county elected and appointed positions.
- Communicate
to local Democratic activists list local offices up for election in 2010.
- Review
list of all registered Democrats residing in key target districts to
identify potential candidates for those races.
Field Operations
- Post
district maps for State Senate, County, City and Ward elections.
- Prepare
neighborhood volunteers to include campaigning for local candidates in
their plans and activities.
- Encourage
prospective and announced candidates to be present at neighborhood Field
Ops events.
- Be
fully organized and prepared to walk our neighborhoods to encourage voter
turnout during the primaries on behalf of our Democratic candidates,
including in non-partisan races.
Candidate Development Committee
- Prepare
a one-page summary of ways the County Party is prepared to support local
candidates.
- Prepare
a process for taking candidate nominations and making approaches to
potential candidates.
- Actively
seek expansion of its membership for this period.
- Create
a process for identifying potential candidates in contested races, making
recommendations to the Board regarding endorsements, and helping others
strategically target races where they’re most likely to be successful.
- Minimize
contests among Dems by strategizing with them before they declare their
candidacy.
The recently ended Nevada legislative session advanced the
primaries and the filing dates for local and state elections. Bottom line, NOW is the
time to think hard about your own possible candidacy or to move quickly to
encourage outstanding Democrats to run for office.
The elections in 2010 will be exciting for Democrats in
Washoe County! We have a senator to
re-elect, a governor to replace, and an opportunity to expand our Democratic
representation in the halls of state and local government. This is our highest purpose as the County
Democratic Party.
Stay tuned for all the excitement and consider how you can
be a part of it.

With a Democratic voter registration edge in Washoe
County, the 2010 elections are a
prime opportunity for Democrats to make advances in local and county offices.
Most media attention falls upon congressional races and competition for
statewide office, but locally elected officials play an equally important role
in quality-of-life issues. A new park, a new school, a new community center—decisions
to implement local improvements lie with local officials.
We believe that increased Democratic representation in all
locally elected bodies—from the County
Commission to the Reno
and Sparks City Councils to the School Board—would benefit not only the local
party but also the community as a whole.
Below is a list of all local, county and statewide offices
open for election in 2010, along with their current holders. If you or anyone
