8 Days from Today, the Midwest Region, with a few extra friends from states near the Heartland, will be joining together to take a trip down to the most exciting, largest, and most important YDA Convention in recent history.
YDA has truly reached a new level since its last convention in 2005, and this year’s Convention will be a celebration of that fact. With new staff in states from Arizona to Arkansas, from Nebraska to New York, and with a budget in 2008 of over 2 million dollars, the Young Democrats of America are proving that we don’t belong at the kiddie table anymore.
Today is the deadline to pay your full $300 to ride the bus, have your Conference Registration ($80) covered by MW*YDA, and stay in the Midwest Region’s block of hotel rooms on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. You can pay by clicking here.
However, there are still a few spots left on the bus. If you would like to grab one, there is only a $20 late payment fee (imposed on us by YDA). There is still time to sign up! Sign Up Here.
Finally, if you have any questions at all about this process, getting on the bus, payment… or anything at all, my full contact information can be found on this page. Don’t hesitate to give me a call!
See you on the Bus!

Check back soon, as we are geering up for the 2007 Bus Trip to Dallas!
Exact details have not been quite worked out yet, but as promised there will be a bus driving straight down the middle of this country (or interstate 35 as it is known to some) and into the heart of Texas.
As they become available, details will be posted here.

And welcome to the brand spank’n new website for YDA’s Midwest Region!
MWYDA has never had a website before, so to be honest, we’re not too sure what goes where yet.
But what we do know is this:
we’re glad to be here, and we’re glad you’re here too.
The Midwest has a proud Democratic Heritage, from the faces on South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore, to the Prairie Populism of Nebraska’s William Jennings Bryan; from, Kathleen Seiblus & Nancy Boyda of Kansas to Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, and let’s not forget the rich tradition of the Iowa Caucus, or the late, great, Paul Wellstone of Minnesota.
At the Young Democrats of America level, our tradition is just as proud… a current Vice President of YDA hails from Nebraska, not to mention the current President Chris Gallaway, of Kansas.
So bookmark this page so you can check back often, join the email list so we can stay in contact, and don’t forget to register for the following upcoming events:
