I received an interesting mailer from Evan Bayh’s All America PAC. I’ll just cut and paste it as a public service announcement:
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Evan Bayh will visit Indianapolis on Saturday, May 13th, to host Camp Bayh, a training session for people interested in working on political campaigns, building interest in local politics or running for office themselves. The two-and-a-half day training session will consist of a number of workshops led by Indiana and national campaign experts who will teach the nuts and bolts of organizing winning campaigns. On Saturday, Senator Bayh will meet with participants and speak with them about the importance of public service, his experiences in grassroots politics, and how he hopes Camp Bayh will help put Democrats in a position to win this fall.
The Indianapolis Camp Bayh runs from Friday, May 12th, through Sunday, May 14th, and will be held on the IUPUI campus. The Camp will include three separate training tracks, for those who want to work on a paid position in a campaign, for local party leaders and activists, and for candidates running for office this year. A second Camp Bayh will take place in South Bend from July 7th – 9th.
Portions of Camp Bayh will be open to the media, including Senator Bayh’s remarks to the Camp participants.
Saturday May 13 at 5:00 p.m. ET
IUPUI-Cavanaugh Hall, corner of Michigan St. & University Blvd.Media interested in covering additional portions of Camp Bayh should contact the All America PAC at 202-326-0450.
This fits in nicely with my last Blog entry here.
By engaging Dems here in Indiana and getting Hill, Ellsworth and Donnelly elected, Bayh will be able to show primary voting Dems in Iowa, NH and elsewhere that he can motivate Dems, get them to the polls, raise money, and pull a rabbit out of his hat – all in a Red State. Put that with a chunk of change and Bayh will stand tall in the primaries next to HRC and Warner.
Yeah I’ll be at Camp Bayh… I can’t wait…
Plus after Camp Bayh on Saturday is the JJ Dinner which I’ll be covering in a live blog for All America PAC. Never did that before so hopefully it’ll turn out good…
I’m with Rob…….literally. We will do our best to live blog the JJ event. Photos and infor on as many potential 06 Hoosier Democrats will be made available.

I’ll be over with the Progressives at the JJ Dinner. We’ll be the ones rolling our eyes if anyone starts talking about family values and sounding like they want to be my daddy rather than my government.
I didn’t hear anything like that there but what I did hear was Baron Hill, Joe Kernan, Joe Donnelly and Rep. Harold Ford all endorse Bayh for the 2008 presidential election. I heard some fighten’ words so watch out Hoosier GOP!
We had fun doing a live blog event. :)
