The agenda for the Longboat Key Democratic Club is simple: Reelect President Obama and elect Keith Fitzgerald to Congress. Their meeting at Lillian Sands' home on Monday, Feb. 22 was a fundraiser. Proceeds benefit a variety of activities that allow the Democrats to reach out to both Sarasota and Manatee counties. Since 2008, the group has sent busses from New Town to the polls to get people to vote - regardless of their political party. The fundraiser also featured speakers Rita Ferrandino the head of the Democrats of Sarasota County and Richard O'Brien the head of the Democrats of Manatee County.
