3. Delegate (alternate) to County Convention |
|
Caucus attender, never have missed a vote since coming back to IA in 1974, ran for State Rep, Wife is long-time Dem Party county secretary. Candidates know they have to work with us (or at least with my wife) for effective local Dem party support and getting out the vote.
I am also going more left and am trying to restart the Iowa Students for a Democratic Society for which I would serve as a senior advisor.
My grandparents voted for FDR all four times.

17. I always vote (not exactly difficult). |
|
I write to my M.P. occasionally, I was formerly very active campaigning (knocked on a good few of thousand doors in my time) and was on my party constituency executive.

18. Question about the UK's political process |
|
Can you "absentee" vote, or do you have to show up at the polls on your election day?

19. Attended my first caucus last night |
|
and it was a doozy -- Casey vs. Pennacchio, plus a bunch of Lieutenant Governor intrigue, and local races.
There never even used to BE much of a Democratic Party in our area, and now it's pretty damned competitive!
