Hello Flower Mound Area Democrats Members!
January is the month for making resolutions for change. If you, like us, long for and are willing to fight for a brighter and bluer future, we hope you will resolve to join us and become more engaged and active so that together we can bring about the change we desperately need. These are, indeed, tumultuous, uncertain, and scary times. And we are here to inform you and empower you for the on-going fight against this oppressive regime. But in this mid-term election year, we also have Democratic candidates to help get elected, and it is our best chance yet to take back control of our state legislature & Congress, and keep the very worst from happening. We need each other to do this and more. We need community — which is why, this year, we will be creating even more opportunities to support & encourage one another. And we need YOU.
As one of the longest serving Democratic clubs in the county, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of events & activities, consistently, each and every month. We offer monthly club meetings, so you can come and socialize with your fellow Dems and be informed by speakers on a variety of relevant topics, hear from candidates running for office, and learn how you can get involved. We offer training opportunities. We offer volunteer opportunities. We offer community. We offer hope.
Below & attached is our FMAD January Club Calendar. You can also find all of this information and more on our website: www.flowermoundareademocrats.org
Resolve to jump in and join us.

Early Voting Democratic Primary
When: Tuesday, February 17th, 7:00am – 7:00 pm through February 27th
Where: Early Voting Locations within Denton County
What: Early Voting for the mid-term Democratic Primary begins 2/17 and goes through approximately 2/28. Election Day is March 3rd. Go to www.votedenton.gov to check your voter registration, find out who your current representatives are, see your sample ballot, and find information on exactly when & where you can vote early and vote on election day for this Primary election. If the information is not available yet, keep checking. It will be updated eventually. It’s important to vote early versus waiting until election day. 1) With early voting you can vote at any early voting location within the county. 2) Election day voting is precinct specific. If you show up at the wrong polling location, you will be turned away. It is also important that Democrats vote in Democratic Primaries. It is not strategic for Dems to vote in a Republican primary. 1) It never works. Ever. 2) It skews the data. Primaries produce data. When Dems vote in Republican primaries instead of their own, it makes it look like there are more Republicans in your precinct, your area, your county than there actually are. Money then follows that data. It tells the Republican party that you’re one of them, so you will get their literature, their texts, their door-knocks instead of information from the Democratic party about the Democratic candidates on your ballot. Vote in Democratic primaries. Identify yourself as a Democrat along with all the other Dems in your area. Let the data show you support the Democratic party and Democratic candidates. Help Democratic candidates get elected. The blue wave is you.
