A couple of weeks ago, I received an e-mail from Tom Hughes at Democracy for America, calling on DFA members to become delegates for the Democratic National Convention, to be held next August 25-28 in Denver, CO. From the email:
Delegates participate in developing the national platform, and help chart a new direction for America and the Democratic Party. Let's make sure our progressive voices are heard.[...] Want another reason to go? This is going to be one heck of a party. This is our chance to thank Governor Dean for his leadership. Our chance to make sure the Democratic nominee never forgets the success of the 50 State Strategy, grassroots organizing, and people-powered campaigns. This is our chance to keep moving the party forward.
Prompted by the same e-mail, a diarist at Blue Mass Group suggests organizing a bloggers contingent for the Missouri delegation. Sound like a good idea in Missouri?
