A big blue welcome

The West Virginia Federation of Democratic Women maintains a lively social media presence on Twitter and Facebook, reposts items to Google+, has a website, and is launching – this month – a subscription-based newsletter.

What we haven't done, prior to now, is blog.

There are some who say blogging is on its way out, and that may be, but we're hoping it's one more tool to keep you – our members, followers and supporters of All Things Democratic – informed and in the loop of West Virginia Democratic events and issues.

The internet has made this great big world a much smaller place, one in which we can learn about other cultures, share ideas, promote causes, ask for help and offer assistance. 

It's certainly no big secret that Democrats across the country suffered big hits in the off-year election. We in West Virginia take small solace in knowing we're not alone. Our House of Delegates flipped from blue to red and, shortly after the election results were announced, our State Senate did, too, when He Who Shall Not Be Named changed his allegiance from D to R.

So.

We may be down, but we're certainly not out. We invite your comments, we welcome your ideas, we'd love to have you participate. If you think you have something to say that will add to this big blue conversation, we invite you to submit it by emailing it to us. We won't accept everything you send us, but we will thoughtfully consider your submissions.

In the meantime … we have a lot to say. Stay tuned.
