Do you think your party is moving in the wrong direction? There are ways to get involved including voting for new central committee members and going to state conventions.

A reader of mine, Jay Kapitz, is running to be a delegate to the state convention. To find out his platform and what is involved click on continue reading.

If your party has a function you would like me to list, email it in and I will post it for you.
