Come join us from 8pm - 10pm in the Branford TV Room (in the Branford Basement) to watch the election returns from the Pennsylvania primary as they come in on the big screen. Whether you are an Obama or Clinton supporter, you are more than welcome to come eat free food and learn more about the Yale College Democrats. We will be able to talk to you about exactly what we’re planning to do to make sure that either Obama or Clinton is our next president. Signs will be posted to the Branford TV Room.

Check out today’s Yale Daily News article on our lobbying committee’s efforts to push for carbon cap legislation in the state of Connecticut. Be especially sure to check out the picture of the guy in the Snowman costume, our very own Matthew Ellison. HB 5600, which would set mandatory carbon caps across the economy in CT, emulating what has be done in California and New Jersey, recently passed the Appropriations committee by a 35-7 vote and now heads to the floor.
