at the Michigan Democratic Party State Convention in Detroit
Joe Louis has our back
one of the greatest fighters of all time
lots of passion and energy as the party works for endorsements
the delegates react
standing up for strong candidates on the ballot
7, 252 delegates attended this year, the most in history
people are interested, informed, and involved
–
update:
after a long day
of
pitches, glitches
cheers, jeers
stickers, buttons
clipboards, billboards
indoor parades
after all of the final
signatures, tallies, and votes
were counted, recounted, and certified
candidates have officially
been selected for the primary ballot
happy results
on a very successful day

It’s refreshing to hear people are informed and involved – it’s the only way change will happen (hopefully). Good luck x

Oh I hope so. This guy has really disrupted life in our capital city by announcing that Iranians are coming for talks. The life in Islamabad is at a standstill.

Just had elections here in Peru. We already have six ex-presidents in prison. How long will the next one last, I wonder? Note: It IS indeed possible to imprison Presidents. We are the world leaders in this field!
