It's not too late to stop the coup d'é·tat of America! This weekend Elon Musk had 6 young computer geeks between the ages of 18 & 24 install hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department and the General Services Administration (GSA). This is the largest data breach in US history. Elon Musk is not an elected official. The Dept of DOGE is NOT a government created agency approved by Congress. This is extremely problematic and not what anyone voted for. Tell your elected official that Musk, a billionaire who was not born in this county, should not have access to these records.

On Tuesday, January 28, 2025 the 47th President of the United States issued an Executive Order to the OMB pausing disbursement of all congressionally appropriated Federal Aid Funds. Thus temporarily stopping all SNAP benefits, student loan payments to universities, grants for basic research, grants to state and local governments, veteran benefits and so much more. The first paragraph of the OMB M-25-13 memo stated that the federal work force is obliged to execute the will of the American people "as expressed in presidential priorities", and that the mission of this nation was to end wokeness, transgenderism and green new deals. The Executive Order was in violation of Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
Our national priorities used to be to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves in our posterity. In doing so, we were to settle our differences and set our priorities through Congress, and that the federal government was constitutionally, morally and legally obliged to execute the will of the American people as expressed in congressional legislation.
UPON learning of the Executive Order, We The People, in every state in America took action and called upon their members of congress and every federally elected official to complain that the order was blatantly illegal, and judicially wrong. On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, the memo was rescinded in OMB M-25-14 memo by Matthew J. Vaeth, Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
When the American people join together to make their will known, which is their constitutional right, they overcome all opponents who wish to overthrow the constitution, and our democracy!

Clothing Drive
As part of our commitment to supporting the unhoused community in Chemung County, the Chemung County Democratic Committee is organizing a donation drive for clothing and essential items. We will be collecting these donations at our headquarters at 110 N. Main St. in Downtown Elmira and delivering all donations to our local shelter. We seek donations of adult sized warm clothing, coats, shoes, boots, gloves, socks, hats, scarves, blankets, bus tokens, new undergarments, and hygiene products—especially as winter continues to pose challenges for many in our community. Donation deadline is Thursday, February 13th at the Love Your Neighbor Event, which includes the movie screening of: "Who we are: A chronicle of Racism in America" at 6pm.
2025 focus!
So many lessons learned in 2024! The next four years will surely have their challenges, but this year will be crucial in identifying and getting elected local candidates in the towns & villages of Chemung County. The late President Carter once stated: "The more involvement that people have in choosing their own leaders and shaping their own destiny, the better off they are!" As we rapidly approach the special elections and caucuses to be held in February & March, we look to forward to the CCDC working more closely with the community as a team.

Seth Meyer's released a version of Project 2025 in comic book form. He's gathered award winning illustrators together to make a series of comics to explain some of the P25 agenda. They feel you shouldn’t have to read the P25 monstrosity. It’s more than fifty times as long as the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution…combined. Project 2025 is longer because it’s a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Read it. (link on our Stop Project 2025 page)
