Recap of the AGM: Voting in 2012 Matters!
On March 31st, 2012, many enthusiastic and eager members came from across the Netherlands to participate in the Democrats Abroad Netherlands Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Amsterdam. Those who attended were witness to a thought-provoking spectrum of discussion: from keynote speaker Andy Tanenbaum’s (Electoral-Vote.com) unique perspective on the 2012 elections, to DANL Executive Committee members’ testimonies about what drives them to volunteer. But the key message of the meeting was clear: voting in 2012 matters like it never did before!

An Update from the DNC – Feb. 26, 2012
This past week, President Obama and Vice President Biden held a White House event emphasizing the importance of the recent agreement passed by Congress to extend the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance, while encouraging Congress to take additional steps to create jobs and continue our economic growth. The President also traveled to Miami to discuss an all-of-the-above approach to developing new domestic energy sources, expanding oil and gas production and reducing our dependence on foreign oil. To guarantee that America remains competitive, the Obama Administration released the President’s framework for reforming our nation’s business tax system. And the Administration unveiled a “Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights” as part of a broader effort to improve consumers’ privacy protections online.
