Dear Democrat:
Last night, the Rules Committee had an Emergency Rules Committee meeting which Ken and I both participated. We unanimously approved the proposed changes to the National Delegate Selection Plan, which ultimately affect the convention calendar.
Because of our action, tomorrow night there will be an Emergency Meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee to vote on a proposed Rules Committee change regarding the National Delegate Selection Plan and the 2012 Convention Process.
If passed, there will be no precinct conventions for this year and the Senatorial and County Conventions will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2012 - before the primary.
Because the State Democratic Convention is set for June 7-9, 2012, in Houston and the Primary Dates have yet to be set; this is the most feasible way to elect our delegates to the state convention.
As your representatives to the SDEC, we wanted to keep you informed as much as possible. The Dallas County Democratic Party will likely call a meeting within the next two weeks to inform precinct chairs of this significant change. At that time, temporary chairs will be elected to begin the work of planning the convention. Ken and I will work with together, along with the chair, to ensure the 23rd Senatorial District can operate as smoothly as possible. We have the largest number of allotted delegates in this area and we want to carry our full allotment to Houston. Our biggest challenge will be getting the word out to the voters about the convention.
We will need your help. It may be confusing, but we can rally together and get the job done.
We will keep your apprised as more information becomes available to us.
Democratically,
Shay Cathey and Ken Molberg
SDEC 23 Representatives
