Hello Chair Wasserman Schultz:
The email below was written to you on January 28, 2016 and so much has happened or changed since then.  What has not changed is wanting to make a difference with people in the mental illness, homeless and drug addiction community.  For forty years I have dedicated my life in making a difference in the lives of those in this community who have no voice. 
I have also been selected as the #1 Delegate for the 5th Congressional District (top vote getter of all the candidates) in California.  I have also served as the Team Leader for Solano County for Hillary for the past eight months.  We have recruited hundreds of volunteers, walked many miles in canvassing efforts and called thousands of Democratic voters.  I have hosted Meet and Greet Social Events for Hillary and tabled at numerous events such as the Solano Community College Expo for Small Businesses. I have contributed to the maximum limit for the Hillary campaign so I put my money where my mouth is too.  I have also consistently focused on registering Democrats to vote in this Presidential election.  I am absolutely committed to electing Hillary Clinton as our 45th President of the United States.  I also at one time worked for the Democratic National Committee under the leadership of Chairman Robert Strauss.
It is my hope I can serve on the Democratic Convention Platform Committee in July of this year.  I am attaching my curriculum vitae to reflect my credentials including being a Forensic Psychologist (which we may very much need during this election year considering the GOP nominee).  I have served as a mediator and professional conflict resolution expert (which we may also need this year) for several Superior Courts and I am an expert consultant in competency issues for professionals in the mental health field  for the State of California.  
May this email serve as my request to be assigned to the Platform Committee for the Convention. Thank you for this consideration.  I promise I will do a very good job for the DNC and the Democratic Party.

Hello Chair Wasserman Schultz:
Thank you for your greeting. If I may take a minute and share a bit, I hope you will be receptive to my comments. I have a deep, committed belief system and desire in addressing the problems and solutions in serving others facing significant daily challenges.   But first allow me to share my professional background. 
1. I had the privilege of serving as a Consultant to the DNC when Chairman Robert Strauss was holding the position currently held by you. It was an incredible experience in being the Western States Telethon Coordinator in which I was assigned with the task of organizing the thirteen states phone banks, door to door canvassing, media relations, and my area raised millions of dollars.  2.  I also served as a consultant for a Governor in which I was assigned with the task of establishing a new state agency, and I also organized statewide conferences and oversaw a substantial intern program. 3.  When Governor Dukasis was the Democratic Presidential candidate, I served on his task force of advisors. One assignment I was asked to identify, coordinate and design a platform category for child and adult victims, collaboration with law enforcement, nonprofit groups, educators and mental health professionals so it could be included in the national platform and that was successfully completed. 4.  Since my political and government work, I have become a Forensic Psychologist and I serve as an Consultant for the State of California, plus a County Superior Court and other professional work. 
The reason for this email:    I have had the opportunity to serve the mentally challenged, drug addicts, and homeless population and they have inspired me daily.  My question:  is there an avenue within the Democratic National Committee and its' policy platform in which I could participate in identifying the problems and solutions involving mental illness, the homeless, drug and alcohol addictions and collaboration with law enforcement, nonprofit groups, educators and mental health professionals so it would be considered for the national convention platform?
Thank you for reading this email and I would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions pursuant to my inquiry.  
Jerri Curry, Ph.D. ,LMFT, CATC77 Solano Square,  #321  Benicia, California 94510(707) 297-0550. [email-masked]
P.S. I will be attending the Steve Wesley event on the San Francisco Peninsula in February in the event you will be there and I am hopeful we may meet and talk about this email at that time.

| Welcome! I couldn't be more excited to have you standing with us as we gear up to elect the 45th President of the United States and Democrats all across the country this year. We have great candidates like Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Martin O'Malley in the race -- but we've also heard some of the outrageous ideas the Republican presidential hopefuls want to bring to America. It's more clear than ever that we've got to do everything we can to keep a Democrat in the White House and take back Congress.

 As candidates on both our side and in the GOP move forward with their campaigns for the presidency, I want you to know that you're already such a huge part of what we're going to accomplish this year. We'd really be nowhere without your support.

 Over the next few months, you'll hear from us about ways you can get involved and really take ownership of this party -- your party. And there are so many. You can chip in to support Democrats and you can add your voice to combat Republican obstructionism. You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and share some of the things you like with your family and friends. And you can check out our official store -- we've got some great t-shirts and buttons that I think you'll love.

 So I hope you'll take advantage of these opportunities, because your support goes a long way -- and with the uphill battle we'll be facing in the next few months, we'll really need it.

 Welcome to our team. We're so glad to have you. 

 Debbie
