Bernalillo County Dem Ward-Precinct Meetings Thursday 3.22.07

Let's have a big turnout!

The Democratic Party of Bernalillo County is holding its ward and precinct meetings at nine locations (see below) in the county tomorrow, Thursday, March 22, at 7:00 PM. All registered Democrats are urged to attend.

You're also encouraged to run for a precinct or ward office. The more elected members of the Party we have, the more we can affect what goes on and help build the Party to serve the people. In some areas, few show up for these meetings and if you do so, you can become a ward or precinct chair quite easily. If your precinct or ward already has a good chair candidate you want to support, you can always run for ward or precinct vice chair, treasurer or secretary and join the team. Of course if you'd like to run against another candidate for the ward or precinct chair slot, be sure to muster some support that will pledge to vote for you and get them to your meeting.

Ward and precinct chairs become automatic members of the County Central Committee (CCC) and will be able to vote at the CCC meeting to elect people who will then become members of the State Central Committee (SCC), the Democratic Party of New Mexico's governing body. In addition, some precincts can elect additional CCC members based on their high numbers of Democratic voters in the last elections. If so, any Democrat can run for these additional CCC slots.

(The CCC and SCC meetings will be held in April -- see Coming Events links on right-hand sidebar.)

You can also submit resolutions at your precinct/ward meeting, although the Party's platform will not be rewritten this year.

Here's the information as distributed by our Bernalillo County Party on tomorrow (Thursday) night's meetings:
