[Vision2020] How to Stand Up for Obama and Change ... Si se puede!

[Linda Pall]

Dear Visionaries,

Yes, we can stand up for Barack Obama and the change that America needs!

Tuesday night, February 5, be sure to attend the Latah County Democratic caucus at the Latah COunty Fairgrounds... to be counted, you must be present and in the room not later than 7 PM... the doors close then. 

Caucus chair Amy Ford sent this message along earlier today:

Caucus participants at the Latah County Democratic Caucus, please note: Before you are allowed to indicate your presidential preference at the caucus, you must sign a pledge that you will be eligible to vote by the November election, you are a Democrat, and that you are willing to have your name published as such. The reason you have to agree to have your name published is that everyone participating in the caucus is eligible to be a delegate at the Idaho Democratic Party State Convention, and by rule, all 16 delegates must have their names published in local papers so that party members know who their representatives are at convention. People who have voted Republican and Independent in the past are welcome at the Democratic caucus but must still sign the pledge. Because Idaho does not register people to vote by their party affiliation, the pledge does not have any impact on your voter registration or your eligibility to participate in either party's primary election in May. 

If you are asked about the pledge by friends, particularly Independent and Republican ones, please pass the word that unless they are a delegate, their name will not be made public. 

The Caucus involvves announcing that you support Obama for president... and electing delegates to the Idaho State Democratic Convention for Obama, the number being based upon the proportion of those attending who support Obama. 

I am a candidate for delegate and hope, eventually, to be elected a delegate to the National Convention.  This is the first step in that process. I was a delegate to the National Convention in 1980 and in 1992. I can truly tell you that this is the most hopeful I have felt about the chance to put the U.S. back on track in years. 

Visit Bookpeople and order Barack's books, Reflections from My Father and/or The Audacity of Hope. This thoughtful, capable, successful Senator writes from the heart and has dealt with his spiritual challenges! 

Our country has work to do to restore our reputation, with our citizens and with the world. Idaho's first step is Tuesday night!

All the best,

Linda Pall
