In homes and watering holes across America, Obama supporters will gather this evening to celebrate his 50th birthday and hear a message broadcast from Chicago. Virginia Beach Democrats got a head start last night at the regular monthly committee meeting. A local public gathering is planned tonight at Croc’s.
Croc’s 19th Street Bistro is the Virginia Beach restaurant where Governor Kaine signed the smoking ban legislation and a regular location for many campaign events. To find a location of a house party near you, go to the 2012 Campaign Website.
