Austin Meeting of the TDP Advisory Committee on the Primary/Caucus
November 10, 2008 by End the Texas Two Step
Democrats in the Austin area will have the opportunity to participate in a TDP Advisory Committee Hearing on the Primary/Caucus system this Friday, November 14, 2008, in Austin at the AFL-CIO Building (at 1106 Lavaca Street Austin, TX 78701) at 10 AM.
The committee will be taking public testimony, so if you want to speak, when you get there, look for the yellow postcard size forms that they are using for people to sign in to testify. You can also fill out the form, if you just want to register that you are for or against the current system but do not want to speak. You can also bring written testimony and submit that to the committee. If you speak, you do not have to provide a written copy, but you can, since that will help the committee be able to re-read your testimony later. They seem to prefer that people do not read their testimony, but just speak to them as if you are talking to them one one one, but you can still submit a written version after you speak.

I cannot attend the meeting tomorrow morning, but I am absolutely AGAINST the Texas Two-Step. It is discriminatory agasinst the elderly who cannot drive at night, against parents who need to put young children to bed, and against the military who are serving our country in foreign countries. Also, election workers need to pack up election materials and turn them in to the receiving sub-station BEFORE attending a caucus. It makes it difficult, if not impossible particularly if the worker is working at a precinct other than the one who he or she is registered at. We need to do away with this ridiculous caucus system and let each person vote ONCE either on election day or early!!!
