Earlier this month, Tenth Dems honored Illinois State Senator Susan Garrett at a sold-out event featuring Keynote Speaker U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. The Chicago Sun-Times and Patch covered the event, which was also attended by Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Hon. Ab Mikva, and three of the Democratic candidates for 10th Congressional District.

Tenth Dems is a vital force in building, informing, and sustaining a strong Democratic Party infrastructure across the district.

But we can’t remain a force without your support. Can you donate $10 before the deadline on Friday night?

Your donation of $10 or more will help us buy ink to make flyers to increase Democratic visibility in our new (and more Democratic!) district, pay rent and utility bills, and maintain our website.

Your generosity helps to maintain the grassroots organization that elects Democrats to all levels of government. With your help, we will finish the quarter strong and we will win in 2012. Please donate $10, $25, or $50 today.

Thanks,
Tenth Congressional District Democrats
