"Win" A Trip To Denver
Written by advisorjays
Monday, 09 April 2007
And just to prove that we're not ignoring the 2008 presidential election, the 900lb gorrilla in every political living room, we have this dispatch from the Pennsylvania Young Democrats:
The Pennsylvania Democratic Party released its plan for how delegates are chosen to the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Guess what? They left us out. There is no current goals for people between 18-36, a reliably Democratic-voting constituency.
The Pennsylvania Young Democrats want to change that. We are asking the party to write guidelines that include young people.
Please take 30 seconds and sign our online petition here .
You can also check out the more from the PA Young Dems at their blog .
Congratulations Elena
