This is such a critical time for all Dems . . . we are able to watch all these amazing candidates flog their wares up close and personally. In addition to that, there are TV opportunities. Pull out your sleeping bags for a very long evening on September 4 with CNN’s Climate Change forum. Each major candidate will receive an in-depth, 40-minute interview. By the end of the seven-hour marathon we should have clear ideas of where our favorites and potential favs stand on this critical issue. Am I overusing that word? CRITICAL??

There are special events in Lebanon–September 12 Democratic Debates are preceded by a ‘Meet Your Lebanon Rep’ session at Gusanoz. Then attend the debate watch party at Gusanoz as well. What a great way to spend an evening! And finally, we, the UV Dems, are back with our regular programming on September 23rd.
