From Thomas Jefferson’s arguments for the
Bill of Rights to Martin Luther King’s
stirring exhortations for the Civil Rights Act,
Democrats have always been the party of the people. This year, as we look
forward to new leadership in the White House, the Washtenaw County Democratic
Party invites you to join us at our annual dinner for a celebration of our
ongoing commitment to the issues, the policies and the causes that put people
first! Get Your Dinner Tickets or Advertise in the Program | Get a Map to EMU

Speaking
Frankly (Barney, that is)Our keynote speaker, the Honorable Barney Frank is no stranger to tough progressive fights. As chairman of the powerful Financial Services Committee, this Massachusetts Democrat is leading the effort to insulate families from mortgage foreclosure. An advocate for medical marijuana rights, LGBT equity and the ousting of lobbyists from the Congressional gym, Chairman Frank rarely shies away from controversy. The witty and self-deprecating twenty-seven year veteran of Congressional battles is always ready quip or a poke at partisan hypocrisy. In 2006, DC staffers named him the “brainiest”, “funniest” and “most eloquent” member of the House. When Mr. Frank takes the floor at this year’s dinner, we are in for a treat!
