Based on the current state of affairs, I have decided I need to be at the National Convention. If it comes to a vote on the floor, I will be there. Since announcing my support of Obama and the Democratic Party, I have taken action to ensure success.
Action to date:
1. Surprised neighbors with Democratic signs in yard – a first for our neighborhood. Many neighbors have not commented, but a few have quietly thanked me for taking a stand.
2. My blog – that people are reading.
3. Pledge Fund contributor.
4. Volunteered to be a Neighborhood leader.
5. Volunteered with several local candidates. Influenced others to volunteer as well.
I received my packet for the state convention, and have just completed my form to run. A few things I learned from the packet that may be of interest. For $25, observers can attend the State Convention. There are three types of National Delegates – District Level Delegates – 12 will be elected; Party Leaders and Elected Officials – 2 delegates; at large delegates – 4 will be elected at the convention. If you are not a state delegate, you can still be elected as a delegate at large. Forms are available at www.idaho-democrats.org.
