Welcome to the web site of the East Cobb Democratic Alliance (ECDA)! The ECDA was created in 2005 by local activists to support and elect Democratic candidates for public office in East Cobb County, Georgia, through financial contributions and volunteer efforts. The ECDA is an independent group and does not have formal organizational ties to the Cobb County Democratic Party or to the Democratic Party of Georgia. The ECDA, however, works cooperatively with all like-minded Democratic groups and individuals, within the stipulations established by law. Our goal is to further the overall interests of the Democratic Party and to enhance Democratic strength in East Cobb. Further, our officers and members have overlapping membership in the Cobb County and Georgia Democratic Parties, a boost to our cooperative spirit.
What does the ECDA do? We seek to increase our recognition among Democrats in East Cobb and get them involved in our activities. The ECDA works on the principle that people power can trump money power, if enough committed people get involved. One of our main goals, therefore, is to get Democrats signed up to receive our newsletter and to be ready to join our “surge” effort in election years. During campaign season, the ECDA mobilizes a grassroots effort in support of Democratic candidates in East Cobb—and even in neighboring areas. We address and stuff envelopes and put stamps on them. Make campaign buttons. Fold and bag pamphlets. Place yard signs. And we engage in door-to-door canvassing. Join us in these actions that all Democrats can do to get our candidates elected.
We also want more full-fledged members, who pay an annual dues of a mere $25.00. We welcome contributing members who are not ready for full membership but are willing to make a donation—every bit helps!—to help elect Democrats in East Cobb. The bulk of the donations we receive go to provide seed money to the campaigns of brave Democrats who step forward to carry the party banner.
If you are a Democrat in East Cobb and feel all alone, be aware that there are more of us than you imagine! Get in touch, sign on with the East Cobb Democratic Alliance, and start taking the first steps toward taking back Georgia for the Democrats.
