MAYBE NOT THE PHOENIX, BUT . . .

     Before the dust had even settled on the floor of the 2004 Democratic Election Headquarters, as it was being dismantled in Clarksburg WV, and the signs, pamphlets and other campaign materials were being packed away, a small group of dedicated volunteers who had worked long hours manning the phone banks, the visibility sites, and the neighborhood canvassing crews, met together to share their feelings of disappointment, disillusionment, and anger at the final outcome.

     It was decided that instead of wallowing in the pain of the moment and then sitting back and waiting for another election year, we would not hand over our state to the Republicans so easily.  We knew that the strong emergence of the opposition did not just happen.  It came about through careful planning and a full "year around" effort on their part.

     What began as Harrison County Democracy for America (and has evolved to become NCWVDFA) as a concerted and determined effort to work both within and outside other Democratic  organizations to provide the necessary dynamic force needed to regain and hold on to the political reins in West Virginia and change our "red" state status back to "blue".

      And now NCWVDFA, which began in the dust and confusion of Election 2004, is fully operational and is busily girding loins, loading the catapults, and sharpening lances for the elections of 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and beyond!  We invite you to become a part of this grassroots effort.
