ANTRIM DEMS FUNDRAISER SEPTEMBER 27, 4:30 PM
Our creative ads serve as a source of inspiration for our supporters and a source of education for others. Pick up any area newspaper – The Antrim Review, The Elk Rapid News or the Northern Express and you are likely to see one of our ads. We place one or more ads each month in these publications. This costs approximately $10,000 a year. We’d like to do even more such as provide financial support to local candidates.
Our annual Antrim Dems Fundraiser is a major source of the revenue we need to win elections.

BISHOP RECALL UPDATE
Victoria Bishop’s attorney was once again successful in getting the Board of Canvassers to not approve the petition language. His main point was that the language was not specific enough.
With Bishop making so many unforced errors, it is hard to single out just a few acts of misconduct. However, the Committee to Recall Victoria Bishop is not discouraged and they are pressing forward with revised language.
We’ve recently received word in regards to some folks not receiving the newsletter, even after subscribing. It seems to be a mail filtering issue - the mail inbox doesn’t recognize our publication as ‘safe’ and blocks it from coming into the receiver’s mailbox (obviously this doesn’t apply to you since you’re reading this now!) .
We think we’ve found a workaround, and if you know of anyone who is experiencing this issue, please share this fix: simply add antrimdems@substack.com to your contact list. Called ‘Whitelisting,’ this tells the mail server to trust this address and allow the mail in.
ALSO - Some folks using Gmail have said no mail, and not in junk folder. Please also check the ‘Promotions’ folder as sometimes Substack emails end up there. Users can then simply reassign the email from Promotions to the regular inbox and Gmail will ‘learn’ this is what is preferred.
Reach out if you or anyone you know is still experiencing a problem.
Many thanks to you all!
