St. Charles County Missouri Democrats

President Barack Obama challenged congress to get the job done on healthcare reform with his "Medicare, Medicaid, Health Care Fraud Address"  The full text of his speech is here http://http://www.shallownation.com/2010/03/10/obama-st-louis-speech-video-3-10-10-medicare-medicaid-health-care-fraud-reduction-address/

What a day it has been for Democrats in St. Charles County as evidenced by the pictures here.  That's SCDA President Brynn Palmer getting the biggest hug ever from our President Barack Obama at St. Charles High on Wednesday afternoon.  On Brynn's right and the President's left is Diversity Committee Chair Amanda Kelley and Sharon Robinson Zull.  On the President's right side is SCDA Secretary Chris Mayes and you can tell she's extremely happy to be close enough to shake hands with our President.  For more pictures from today's event in St. Charles go to:

Just why did the voters send Mark Parkinson to the Mo House of Representatives?  We're sure it was not to bring embarrassment to his district.  We're sure it was not to waste taxpayer funds on frivolous bills.  We're sure it was not to ACT SILLY .  But even Parkinson himself acknowledges that it was a silly thing to do.

Here's a few thoughts from a Kansas City Blog called injuryboard.com

Judge Ted House was presented the The Beloved Community Builder Award at this week’s St. Charles Ministerial Alliance worship in honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This prestige award is bestowed upon an individual that has been instrumental in the coordination of building a more just community. For the past four years, Judge House has faithfully been at the helm of leading clergy in the coordination of the St. Charles Community King Worship Service. Because of House’s commitment to building a more just community, area clergy and congregations are working and worshiping together in more meaningful ways.

On Friday January 15th Central Committee Chair Tommy Roberts had a lively debate with the leader of the Republican Party in St. Louis County. You can hear it for yourself at the following link:

Tommy lets them know that the Republicans better do a better job this year than they did in 2008. He affirms what we all know, that St Charles County is important for statewide candidates and they better be worried because if we turn out like we did last the last election that Carnahan and Montee are winners. He also let them know that we're not afraid to work hard and work for what we believe in.

Rep. Cynthia Davis challenging Sen. Scott Rupp in GOP primary

Davis
(UPDATED)

Cynthia Davis, who will be term-limited out of her Missouri House seat next year, will try to stay in Jefferson City by unseating state Sen. Scott Rupp in the Republican primary next August.

The outspoken Davis, who has gained nationwide attention for some of her comments, said in an interview today that she’s “a true conservative” and that “people are sick and tired of cardboard candidates.”

“I guess the best way to describe this race is I’m more like Sarah Palin and he’s more like John McCain,” Davis said, referring to the 2008 GOP national ticket.

“The true Democrat is he who with purely nonviolent means defends his liberty and, therefore, his country's and ultimately that of the whole of mankind”
Mahatma Gandhi quotes (Indian Philosopher, internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, 1869-1948)

This just in from the Show-Me Progress Blog from Hotflash:
In looking forward to the coming legislative session, State Rep. Jake Zimmerman, D-Olivette, acknowledged that he will be working with a number of unhinged members of the Missouri House. He waved Cynthia Davis aside as by no means the most wackadoodle of them and called to the attention of the audience at West County Dems two Republicans who have outdone even Cynthia.
