Shout-out to me in the Rocky today...
I am so excited about all this caucus stuff I can't even hold it in. Kudos to orgs like Latina Initiative and The White House Project for talking to people about being precinct captains, delegates, election judges... etc.
This will be the second presidential election in my voting career and the first where I know anything about what happens before the general election. But I'm jumping right in there. I’m making my way to the top! National Convention... here I come...
This whole situation reminds me of a magazine article I read a while ago that said US children are more interested in being famous than in being intelligent! Who says policy is not for the young and hip?

Today I went to the high school where we will be hosting 11 of our county's 13 precincts and taped the sign up in the window. Sometime between now and Monday, I have to write an article for our paper about it. (The paper only comes out twice a week, so you have to be way ahead of the calendar to get something in.) Oh, and we are doing a postcard mailing too, so I have to finish my part of that in the next couple of days. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it! I can't imagine how hard it must be for the people doing the prep work in the BIG counties!
