Today is day two of the "VOTE FOR CHANGE" Get Out The Vote (GOTV) weekend.
Once again, I'll be spending part of the day blogging live from Democratic headquarters and conducting interviews with candidates and volunteers who are working hard to get out the vote.
We had a glitch with Common Council member Paul Rotello's video (sorry Paul) but other than that, the live stream seemed to work well.
If you want to volunteer your time, please come down to headquarters anytime today. From lit dropping to phone banking, there's plenty of things to do and the Party can always use your help.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
