Tasmania needs the Democrats and the Australian Democrats need you.
Saturday, November 26, 2011
We are looking for talented, motivated, passionate people to help bring fairness and equality to all Tasmanians. There are many ways in which you can help. Give Tim Neal (right) a call on 0413 535 502 or email to discuss any queries, concerns or suggestions you may have.
There are five simple things you can do today to help rebuild the Australian Democrats in Tasmania:
- Join the update list for free.
- Join us as a full member and have a direct role in steering our future and help us re-register as a party at State level in Tasmania. Membership starts at just $25 a year.
- Tell anyone you know that might be interested in a different option for our future that the Australian Democrats are rebuilding.
- Tell us how you'd like to help. volunteer your time, skills or resources to help us re-establish the Tasmanian division.
- Donate to help fund party activities like holding events, processing all the new memberships, and keeping the lights on.
There is much work to be done, but together we can rebuild the Australian Democrats here in Tasmania to give Tasmanians a better option. Join us today.
You can make a difference.
To re-register the party in Tasmania we need 100 members on the Tasmanian electoral roll. We're close - but not quite there. Please join today to help us reach that goal.
Once you have joined, we need you to complete the statutory declaration form and return it to us ASAP by mailing it to PO Box 139, Launceston, TAS, 7250. Alternatively call Tim on 0413535502 to arrange to drop it off in person.
