Response: ugggghhhhhh
Breakfast from the womens caucus was provided as the incentive to get our asses out of bed - and it worked! There was a moment of silence from Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones and a lengthy discussion concerning HPV and legislation to help make prevention more affordable for young ladies and guys too.
After this meeting, the real fun begins. I attend conventions to take something away from them, not to be lectured to. So the CDA put together training sessions that were led by some phenomenal people. From moderate to advance levels of discussion, these trainers from the party really helped us out a lot.
So we leave from the trainisgs and got dinner, came back and vote on the elected officials for the new year.
Sunday morning was a repeat of Saturday evening. However, one of the CDA Delegates was asked to leave from California for drinking PBR during our session - yes, that was the highlight of the morning session.
So I want to congratulate all of the new leadership to CDA for the 08/09 year. You will do amazing and I have faith in that you will help lead us into a great year. But enough of that, lets get back to the facts and fun of the evening's events.
After attending a few more caucuses, me and Kate from OSU went over to the Faith in Action event, hosted by the DNCC. For the first ever faith caucus, the turn out was amazing, well organized and had a message of solidarity. We all look to text for a sense of clarity and as a way to lead our lives. Minus the three fools who decided to yell out "Obama wants Abortions," the event went off with out a glitch. The choral groups were well put together and a the music selections were amazing!
Sunday's events after the Faith in Action event included a walk through the mall by 16th and California, a coffee from Starbucks and enough fresh air to make me feel 10x better.
