Political Campaigns:
During the presidential election, members of our organization spent hundreds of hours volunteering for John Kerry and local candidates. Some of our members spent time volunteering in Missouri, South Dakota, and Iowa. A few of our members also traveled to Boston to participate in the Democratic National Convention. After the election in November, our focus shifted to the Omaha city elections. During the Spring of 2005, we spent countless hours walking door-to-door, making phone calls, and a variety of other things for Mayor Mike Fahey and city council candidates.

Voter Registration:
In the Fall of 2004, the College Democrats teamed up with the Chancellor’s Commission on the Status of Women FMLA, Amnesty International, and other organizations to register over 700 voters in Douglas County.

In the Media:
Members of our organization have been featured or quoted on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, the local NBC and ABC newscasts, the Omaha World-Herald, and many other news outlets.

Bush Protest
When President Bush visited Omaha in February to talk about Social Security, the College Democrats participated in a successful protest with over 300 people.

Buttons
During the 2004 school year, the College Democrats sold over a thousand buttons on campus. These buttons carried a variety of messages. The anti-Bush buttons were extremely popular with the students (and unpopular with other students). We intend to keep selling these buttons and new buttons on campus.
