Hey, y’all, this is very late as the caucuses are about to get under way in about an hour, but here are a few handy things to read and/or bring with you (this is somewhat biased toward DFL caucus-goers):
The agenda for tonight‡. If you stay for the caucus meeting, you will (most likely) approve and follow this to-do list. A few things on it:
- Electing precinct chair and associate chairs
- Electing delegates to the Senate District or County Unit convention in a month or two
- Gubernatorial straw poll!
- Resolutions for the party platform — see link below for form
‡The file includes a resolution form filled out that supports single-payer health care.
Parliamentary Procedure Pocket Reference (via UC Berkeley). For all you nerds who want to say “I rise to a point of parliamentary inquiry”!
Minnesota Secretary of State’s precinct caucus brochure.
DFL Official Call — long explanation of rules and procedures — and DFL 2008-2010 Party Platform — things they support or oppose.
