8. You have to be designated as a delegate

from your local county party.

Usually there are a number of issues/resolutions presented and there is a vote of the body on them...it's a good chance for rank-and-file to include their opinions in the platform.

The "DU Caucuses" should have been in quotes because we got together informally after the opening ceremonies (usually involving a lot of beer)and kicked around the issues of party leadership, resolutions, candidate selection, etc..at one time we had a voice on the floor....but time and circumstances have diminished that.

There are still some active DUers at the convention:

Madashell
JackpineRadical
Syblla
Goddess40
Helenwheels
Scuba
Peacenikki
GreyEagle
Dragonlady!!! almost forgot!


I know I've forgotten a lot of the others...
