Platform and Resolutions

What about the Precinct Caucuses?

For the 2010 cycle, the decision was made by the State Central Committee to eliminate the Precinct Caucuses. In previous cycles, only delegates elected at the precinct caucuses came to the LD Caucus. This year, everyone is invited! This also applies to the County Convention, where we hope to have a fantastic grassroots gathering. We hope to see you there!
