delegates

When I read some of the content from the e-mails of Gene Messick, it reminds me strangely of Rush Limbaugh in the way that he distorts the truth in order to make his sheep follow him like a messiah, and I respect the amount of effort that he expends just to ruin the efforts of Democrats everywhere in NC, but there clearly has to be a line drawn when he criticizes not only the Democratic party, but our own nation.
What I'm talking about is how he criticizes how we elect officials that support our best interests so that they may vote for the best leaders, which he clearly states right here in one of his e-mails/propaganda:

"Officers are elected. Delegates to the County Convention are elected. And ONLY elected Delegates may vote for the next County Chair at April County Conventions, tho many Dems do not understand this."

It's a little more than a month until the Democratic National Convention and almost four months until the November election. It's time to put on the sunscreen, get some bottled water, put on some nice comfortable, cotton clothes, and get to work! Here's a few action items to get your thoughts going on a summer to-do list.

2008: This year we have a presumptive nominee for President who promises change and the beginning of a "new kind of politics." Here in North Carolina, it seems we have a decision to make about whether this is just empty rhetoric to help win an election or whether we are taking to heart Sen. Obama's message and changing the way our party does business...

On Saturday, May 17, each congressional district in North Carolina will hold its Democratic Party convention. Resolutions will be passed and delegates will be selected to go to Denver for the national convention. You can find out when your congressional district convention starts by visiting the NCDP web site for more information.

Who's going to which convention? Can we arrange some meet-ups?

Are you running for a spot as a delegate to the national convention? I'm running to be an Obama delegate from the 4th district. I'd love to share ideas on how to campaign for these highly coveted spots.

It's not tough to do it - if I can do it - anyone can!
