Help to Get Rid of Caucuses!!

Change the Caucus Org. just put out this notice. Help to end the caucuses!  Boyd L Richie probably wants to hear the word reform rather than dissolution. That he set this up for after the DNC convention is an indication of where he is trying to direct this. Tell him what you think, and try to attend these meetings:

Hearing Schedule Announced for Sen. West’s Committee

From an email from Boyd Richie:

The Advisory Committee on the Texas Democratic Party Convention/Caucus System will conduct a series of meetings which will be open to the public and will allow for Democrats from all across the state to share their Primary/caucus experience. If for some reason you are not able to attend any of these hearings, you are encouraged to submit written testimony by e-mailing it to the Committee at testimony@txdemocrats.org. The Committee will then consider this feedback and make recommendations to the State Democratic Executive Committee for possible changes. For more information about the committee meetings, click here.

The second meeting in this series of Advisory Committee Hearings will be held at the Harlingen Public Library in Harlingen, Texas on September 6, 2008 at 9 a.m.

Secondly, the Texas DNC has sent out a survey form.  If you are a Texas voter consider filling it out.

Frankly, I don’t know if attempting to work within the DNC framework will be successful in this case. However, I can see that a certain protocol might have to be followed. It appears that the Texas DNC thinks if it slowwwly moves, we will all get bored and go away. Let’s not!!!
