DACH 2008-2012 video



This is a video we made compiling many of the activities that DA Switzerland organized and participated in since the 2008 Global Primary election through early 2012. We made this video in April 2012 for our outreach to journalists in the Suisse romande region to re-introduce ourselves and the new team in the lead up to our Global Primary and campaign season ahead of us. Since the local media followed us extensively through 2008 campaigning, election night and inauguration of President Barack Obama, this video reminds them of what we do and who we are.
We hope you enjoy it - for our members who have been around for years and frequent participants and volunteers, you'll see some familiar faces!
