How you plan to support Democratic candidates in Adams County?
Please take a few minutes to respond and let us know what kind of assistance you can give to our efforts in this all-important election year. You may have already contacted us with your offer of help, but perhaps there’s another way listed in the survey that you hadn’t offered – we’ll add that information to what you previously submitted. The stakes have never been higher as we observe what has happened to our country in the past 3 ½ years. It will take effort from each of us to reach out to all constituencies in our communities, to register everyone possible to vote before the November 3rd Election, to educate our voters on mail-in balloting, and to get voters to VOTE! We will be developing plans and contacting volunteers in the coming weeks, and knowing how much help we can count on will allow us to better plan. This effort will be expensive in financial and volunteer needs, so your help is truly needed! Take the survey |

I AM A DEMOCRAT!
I AM the party of the union worker, the minimum wage earner, the person struggling to make a livable wage. I AM the party of the minority, the downtrodden, the marginalized. I AM the party who believes in healthcare for all, help for the mentally ill and addicted and for those with pre-existing conditions. I AM the party who believes that sexual orientation is not a basis for discrimination. I AM the party that believes all men are created equal in the eyes of the law, regardless of race, creed, or nationality. I AM the party of the immigrant--your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. I AM the party of the Veteran—who gave more to this country than most of us can possibly imagine. I AM the party of the child, the woman, the elderly. I AM the party of those who believe that guns have no place in civilized society and that our children should not live in fear. I AM ever changing, willing to reach out to a fluid society and tackle each obstacle that materializes. I AM A DEMOCRAT. |
Adams County Democratic Committee stands solidly in support of Black Lives and the right of the people to peacefully assemble and make their grievances known.
We denounce white supremacy and police violence in all its forms.
We are appalled by the murder of George Floyd and other people of color by police.
We do NOT condone violence and looting at protests; violence on all sides must end.
We condemn attacks on peaceful protesters and the use of regular military and Federal law enforcement against peaceful protesters.
Virtually every recent Federal and State legislation to grant Civil Rights to all citizens has been spearheaded by Democrats; it is incumbent on today’s Democrats to follow that lead.
We charge our elected officials to continue, improve and expand those efforts. We condemn the efforts in several states to whittle away at these protections. Institutionalized racism must end.
These are turbulent times, with pain, anger, sadness, and fear; they require that communities beyond just the ones under attack stand up and speak out.
Racism, white supremacy, and state-sanctioned violence are issues we all need to stand against.
Now is the time to do everything we can to question and modify the systems that perpetuate racial injustice in policing, health care, employment, housing, voting, and more.
Silent agreement is not enough – it can be seen as supporting the status quo. Our voices are needed.
It behooves all of us who are not of the communities of color to educate ourselves about the silent, insidious, unaware racism that surrounds us. Resources are available from many organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Teaching Tolerance” materials (www.splccenter.org/teaching-tolerance ), and those from STAND earth (www.STAND.earth ).
Campaign Zero has a list of 8 things that can reduce police violence by 72%. Find more information at www.8cantwait.org
Ban chokeholds and strangleholds Require reporting of all force
Require de-escalation Duty to intervene
Require warning before shooting Establish use of force continuum
Exhaust all alternatives before shooting Ban shooting at moving vehicles
These suggestions are among many helping to provide effective ways to channel our energy in support of Black Lives and systemic reform. We truly hope that this can be our moment of transformative change.
Adams County Democratic Committee will be supporting local advocacy efforts and coordinating with established and ad hoc groups who are keeping this incredibly important matter visible and audible.
We will make our members and friends aware of events such as the peaceful protests over police brutality held in Gettysburg and Hanover and the petition for information from local police departments requested by Gettysburg Rising.
And we will support Vice President Biden, Governor Wolf and Senator Casey in their efforts toward making our country and our Commonwealth more just and equal for all, especially including the all-important November 3rd election to put Democrats back in charge.

SUCCESSFUL ACDC FUNDRAISER AT GETTYSBURG HOSS'SHoss's Steak & Sea House has this deal for Non-Profit organizations where we get at least 20% of each persons dinner tab when they come in with a Hoss's "Cash Cow Card." ACDC packed the place tonight and we walked out with over $400.00! What made it more fun was that the results of the New Hampshire Primary were coming in on the TV while we enjoyed our meals. In addition, our State Senate candidate Rich Sterner was there and we were collecting signatures for the April PA Primary. Special thanks to our own Niles Ellingson for finding us this deal!
