The Federation is very excited that all the candidates have decided to take part in these debates. The representation of all the candidates will allow for greater perspective on the important issues that these debates will bring to the arena of public debate.

Doug –

The North Carolina Federation of College Democrats is proud to be hosting its first ever Winter Reception following the N.C. Democratic Party’s State Executive Committee meeting in Hamlet, North Carolina on January 26th, 2008. The event will be held at the historic Hamlet Train Depot and will honor former State Representative Wayne Goodwin.

This is the first fundraiser of its kind held by the Federation. The group is asking for sponsorships beginning at the $100 dollar level. All proceeds will benefit the Federation and its various projects throughout the state. The event is being held in the eighth congressional district, one of the districts Democrats are focusing heavily on for the 2008 elections.

This past weekend College and Young Democrats from all over North Carolina converged in Asheville for the annual Vance-Aycock dinner. Saturday morning the group put its energy and youthfulness to good use by hitting the streets of Asheville to canvass for two Young Democrats facing reelection on the Asheville City Council. The candidates, Brownie Newman and Brian Freeborn, spoke to the 30 students and young people in attendance and thanked them for their service. The canvassers knocked on over 850 doors and distributed literature on the candidates while speaking to citizens of Asheville about important issues facing the city.
