The Tufts Democrats are the arm of the Democratic Party at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts and a duly recognized extracurricular student organization at that institution. The group is an official chapter of the College Democrats of Massachusetts and, by extension, the College Democrats of America and the Democratic National Committee.
Organization
The club membership is served by an core executive board, elected annually at the end of the Spring semester. Following their election in the Spring, and in the first weeks of the following Fall semester, the new members of the executive board consider applications for an expansive set of additional leadership positions. These appointed organization leaders, together with the elected executive board, comprise the Tufts Democrats Executive Committee. The Tufts Democrats Executive Committee bears the ultimate responsibility for the coordination of the organization's activities and is responsible for organizing a semesterly Tufts Democrats Internship Fair, an annual Issues of the Future Symposium and various other social and intellectually-focused programming that occurs on a consistent basis.
Additionally, in the year proceeding the selection of a Democratic Presidential Nominee members of the Tufts Democrats form subgroups within the organization in support of the various Democratic candidates. Each subgroup functions semi-autonomously and will often arrange for opportunities for political activism in support of its candidate. Subgroups often take trips to campaign in the nearby early primary state of New Hampshire.
Leadership
Currently, the executive board consists of the following five positions:
*President: Courtney Houston-Carter
*Vice President: Maya Karwande
*Treasurer: Andrea Lowe
*Secretary: Shana Hurley
*Communications Director: Mike Vastola
*Freshman Representative: Brian Agler
*Freshman Representative: Sarah Hacking
Major undertakings
The most notable undertaking of the Tufts Democrats during the past year has been the consistent presence it has maintained in Democratic campaigns throughout the Northeastern United States. Prior to the 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in particular, the Tufts Democrats arranged for bus loads of students to travel to Connecticut's 2nd congressional district, where Tufts alum Joe Courtney was engaged in a heated campaign against a then-Republican incumbent Rob Simmons. Courtney was eventually elected by just a 91-vote margin of victory.

Antoine Lebel (November 24, 1982- March 19, 2007), was better known as the Senior VP of a local Winnipeg tobacco company, Royal Flush Tobacco. He had a very long distinguished career, mostly working in the tobacco industry, working up the ranks to becoming a respected businessman. Everything seemed to be going his way, until his tragic death.
Early Life
Antoine Lebel was born and raised in Quebec City. His entire family was burnt down in a housefire when he was 7. He then had to live with his least favorite aunt, Aunt Maria. By the age of 15, he found out he still had a brother living in San Andreas. He convinced his Aunt Maria to take him there 'just for fun' even if it was just to find his brother. When in San Andreas, his Aunt Maria was hit by a car. She unfortunately, died. Antoine was forced to move to Brooklyn to live with his adopted cousin, Brian Peppers, and his 2 uncles. One of the uncles was involved in the mafia and got killed in cold blood in front of Antoine. Scarred for life, he ran away with a woman called Sylvie Lafleche, to Winnipeg, and got her pregnant.

Personal Life
Antoine Lebel was one of the most respected men in Winnipeg, mostly because of his willingness to put his own body at risk for the sake of others. In the year 2002, he was working for a local tobacco company, Royal Flush Tobacco. Business was falling to an all-time low due to anti-smoking campaigns, so he did the unthinkable. He decided that if he wanted to make a difference in his life, that this was the time. His plan to bring business back was brilliant, but dangerous. He, and his beautiful bony face, would go for the world record for most cigarettes smoked at once; 151. After the incident, on February 17th 2002, he had raised almost $6.2 million for smoking ads, but he has also contracted a rare form of lung cancer known as Mesotheleoma.
Relationships
Lebel had many girlfriends. His favorite, Corrine Vienna supported him through out his journey of cancer. Antoine Lebel and Corrine Vienna had thought of getting married until they heard the news that he had Mesotheleoma. Eight months after he passed away, Corrine Vienna birthed their new born, Philippe Lebel. Antoine had gotten another girl pregnant when he was 19 and always kept her a secret. Rumours circulating around claim that the woman was an under aged, Sylvie LaFleche. It is unknown whether LaFleche took legal actions or not.
Volunteer Work
Antoine Lebel was the manager for the new 'hot' band, Houvie Babies. He did not expect any pay whatsoever even if he spent most of his time catering to the band. Antoine also did a lot of volunteer work at his church, Coeur-Immaculé-De-Marie when he was 10. He never expected anything in return. He volunteered as a teachers aid for a while and still didn't get payed.

:This article is about the separation of Upstate New York from New York State. For the proposed separation of New York City from New York State, see New York City secession.
In the face of lagging job growth in Upstate New York in the first decade of the 21st century, a few living in the region have broached the idea of seceding from New York, in the belief that the state's emphasis on New York City issues has contributed to Upstate's problems. See, e.g., (describing problem but rejecting secession as a "pointless discussion").
Some potential grounds for secession include:
#Desire for lower taxes.
#Creation of an upstate identity.
#More conservative outlook upstate.
#More direct attention on problems in a dying region.
#Less rights restrictions as a result of being affiliated with such a large and prominent city. (New York City, for example, has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, the rest of the state being close behind.)
