Finalist as an Obama Delegate

The California Democratic Party today released the final list of candidates accepted by the Obama campaign for a slot as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. If you live in Congressional District 5 (Congresswoman Matsui) and are a registered Democrat, please come support my candidacy on Sunday, April 13, 2008 at the Rancho Cordova Senior Center, 3480 Routier Road, Sacramento, CA 95827. Directions Here

The caucuses will open officially at 2pm. The Caucus begins at 3pm, with one-minute candidate speeches. Registered Democrats who live in that CD can vote once they have signed in – and as long as you are in line by 3pm, you will receive a ballot to vote.

You are not required to stay for the entire caucus to cast your vote. You may sign in, cast your ballot and leave. Voters must complete a ballot, including a public declaration that they are registered to vote as a Democrat (can register or re-register to vote at the Caucus – voter registration cards will be available) or if not 18, will be a registered Democratic voter before the November election. (This is for those who are 17 but will turn 18 before or by November 4, 2008.) After each caucus is complete (i.e. all candidates who wish to speak have spoken), the votes will be counted and the results announced immediately on site and reported back to the California Democratic Party that day.

Below are the names on the ballot:
