Not much of a secret around here that there's crossover between Democracy for America and Blue Jersey. Blue Jersey was founded by Juan Melli, who ran Mercer DFA when he was at Princeton, and Jeff Gardner and I are 2/5ths of the current DFA-NJ exec board. Even so, I wasn't planning on mentioning DFA at the Beach here, which is Saturday, till I found out today a bunch of Blue Jerseyans will be there.

Jim Dean & Blue Jersey: Jim Dean, DFA Founder Howard Dean's brother and our national Chair, is coming. A big Blue Jersey fan. And an early Blue Jersey Radio guest & podcaster, back in the day. Jim's called in to BJR from all over the country. DFA uses Blue Jersey in DFA Night School sessions on political blogging.

New frontpagers: Monday morning two new writers start here. If you want a 2-day jump on who got the gig, come on down. They'll be there. So will Deciminyan. Plus maybes Michele Jaker (who's had quite a week in the fight for New Jersey women's health care, as the Planned Parenthood Director) and kevmor, who's been watching the city of Trenton this week.

Purely social. No fundraiser. Free admission. Families & friends welcome. Great waterfront deck bar - order off the menu: drinks, sodas, seafood, burgers, kids menu. Good hang-out time with fellow progressives. Hope to see you there:

The Mayor of Highlands (0.00 / 0)

Do you think the Mayor of Highlands (Anna Little) will show up and give a welcoming speech?

BTW, isn't that the same place where Steve Lonegan hosted a fundraiser for Little before the primary?

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

wish i could have been there (4.00 / 1)

It sounds like you guys had a blast but unfortunately I won't be anywhere near New Jersey until after the election.

The DFA training will be very helpful to me as I turn Kentucky blue.

Keep in touch, and good luck in Kentucky. I'm going to pass this message along to Jim Dean at DFA.
