What You Can Do?
Join a Haywood Democratic Affiliate Organization. Young Democrats. Democratic Women. Senior Democrats, Contact haywooddemocrats@gmail.com to get involved.
Call Your Representatives. They may be Republican, but they must hear from you! Make sure they are hearing from Democrats! The app 5 Calls (available from your App Store) makes it easy to know your representatives and call them. It will give you background on several issues and even an optional script. If you can’t get through to your representatives at their DC offices, check this page for their local office numbers. Contact your State reps as well and tell them its past time for a budget. Our schools should not have to guess what they will receive from the state.
