The Democratic Caucus:
Saturday, April 14, at 10:00 a.m
The Democratic Caucus will take place at O’Rourke’s Restaurant, 42 E Little Ave. in Driggs.
Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. and doors close at 10:00 a.m. when the voting process begins.
Special activities for the caucus, aside from a delicious O’Rourke’s breakfast, will include a premier showing of a new, short documentary movie “The Road We’ve Traveled” about Obama, as well as introductory presentations from local Democratic candidates running for public office in this election. This will be an opportunity to gather Democrats throughout the county to gear up for the 2012 elections.
The caucus is the only opportunity to cast a vote of support for President Obama before the November election, as there will be no Presidential Candidates on the Primary ballot in Idaho this year.
Delegates will be selected to attend the Idaho State Democratic Convention to be held in Boise, June 14 – 16, where they will elect delegates to represent Idaho presidential nominees for the National Democratic Convention and to craft the Idaho Democratic Political Platform for 2012.
Any person who will be a qualified voter by November 6, 2012, and who did not participate in another caucus this season, may participate in the Teton County Democratic Presidential Delegate Selection Caucus. This meeting is open to the public to observe. For further information, contact Ralph Mossman, 354-2759, email to: ralph@heronglass.com or visit http://idahodems.org/2012-caucus/.
