Democrats to the left, Republicans to the right.
Funny how our rooms at the library were situated just so. We had a good turnout. 25 people where last time we had maybe 8.
I got to lead the meeting for about half the time due to Joan leaving to set her missionary apart. (good luck Jeffery)
I found myself in a strange position. Definitely one of the younger ones in the crowd, but also, one of the more knowledgeable on the whole delegate process.
We had a pretty good debate. It started out as 'oust all the incumbents' but I feel happy that I think we actually got some thinking going.
{After all, we know what happens when we get change for change
sake.}
{FYI: The Healthcare Bill had been passed for roughly 36 hours before President Obama signed it. This isn't the first time he broke his campaign promise though. As early as Feb. 2009 (just a few days after being sworn in) Politico reports his first case of signing just 3 hours after the bill was passed with many more in the last year}
I most wanted people to see that they needed to do research on their own and definitely do not rely on money-driven, misleading campaign material that ends up in your mailbox.
Ahh but I digress. Due to scheduling problems I did not run as as delegate this year, but Mike was elected as a state delegate and I am once again the Vice Chair of the Precinct. (Sounds half important doesn't it?) ;)
So how was your caucus Brenda, Amanda...any other Utahns?

Sounds like a great meeting. Thanks for putting the clip of Obama - I had no idea he said that.
We had a better turn out than last time, about like your precinct, but I'm thinking it's due to your above mentioned motivator--wanting to get rid of every incumbent possible. I'm hoping, like you, people will sit back and think it all over before casting their votes. You will appreciate this--my mom didn't get elected as a county delegate because she mentioned she supported a particular incumbent for senator...but as a county delegate, she wouldn't even be voting on that race! I guess the people there didn't want to take any chances.
I managed to get elected as a county delegate and I've already had one visit from a candidate. I'd forgotten they come visit you. I'm sure there's more I'll remember as this goes along.
I love the democratic process. Everyone should be a delegate at least once in their lives so they know how it all works!
Vice Chair of the Precinct. Not too shabby.
Sometimes the mob mentality is bit unnerving at these things. Congrats on the County Delegate...and have fun with all those visits.
Sharon...crazy huh?
I think your Vice Chair sounds really important.
