Last month I posted a blog on the Texas Two Step DNC review with meeting dates. As it turns out one of the meetings was scheduled for tomorrow in Houston. This meeting has been canceled until further notice due to Ike.
However, for those of us who want to end the caucus mess, I’m asking you Texans to make sure all those documents, concerns, and you, are battened down. Good luck. We will be thinking of you this week.

If accomplishments and events are markers for our life, it seems like this weekend is a good time to put a few together in one list.
Puma PAC and coalition members have assembled in Denver. Activities and links to other groups can be found on the I Own My Vote, Just Say No Deal, Puma Pac, and The Denver Group websites. Offices are set up, and media in the ready, on site bloggers are active NOW. The organization of these groups, assembled since June, is testament to real grassroots, and not the Obama AstroTurf to which we have been subjected the last several months. (more…)

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: (more…)

Thoughts on the Announcement of Clinton’s Name in Nomination
Some of us are going to be satisfied with Senator Clinton’s name being placed on the nominating roll call. For them, simply allowing the honor of her name on the cover for history’s sake will be enough. Others aren’t. You can find both views expressed in the following article: (more…)

Sometimes Things Turn Out Unexpectedly
“Fancy rules over two thirds of the universe, the past and future, while reality is confined to the present.”
Jean Paul Richter
In the late seventies, due to economic changes and events in my family, we found ourselves in a small town in Eastern Washington, where my husband had obtained a job. It was a fragile time. I had left college again as a consequence of this necessary move, just as I had nine months prior, left work in order to go to back to school. Our daughters had left their friends and community roots. My husband, after working as an urban planner, took a job as laborer’s foreman at a nuclear power plant. (more…)
