Please visit http://anonym.to/?http://www.nationalcaucus.com/ to see if there is a caucus meeting near where you live. It will happen on December 7th, 2007.
It seems that at the end of these meetings, a straw poll will be conducted and the results will be aggregated from all over the country....which COULD mean big big MSM exposure! This will be another great way to build excitement and gain attention leading up to the Tea Party!
What is a NPC Caucus?
NPC Caucuses are 2-hour meetings anytime between 3pm and 8pm local time on National Caucus Day, December 7, 2007.
Organizers facilitate a discussion round where participants may each speak to their most important issues and to establish a group consensus on the top 2-3 issues for that caucus. Then, a second round of discussion to express candidate preferences.
The organizer then posts the results at http://anonym.to/?http://www.nationalcaucus.com/ for aggregation and general reporting.
Goals:
* Help the country better prepare for the vital business of selecting its next president, not in haste, but through 1000s of informed face to face discussions and thoughtful deliberations.
* Foster deeper and more meaningful access to the country's political system toward the goal of helping revitalize American democracy.
* Create a new voice for those willing to participate in person.
The National Presidential Caucus is December 7, 2007.
About us:
Our democratic process, as currently practiced, has proven unsatisfactory to the great majority of Americans. Even with hopeful new signs of internet enabled participation, our national elections remain essentially poll-driven, mass media campaigns and little more than an ugly spectator sport, though one with enormous stakes.Now, with nearly no opportunity for input by ordinary citizens, the presidential state primaries and caucuses are being scheduled earlier and closer together, dramatically altering the primary election process. The country now faces a de facto National Primary on February 5, 2008, in which two "finalists" may suddenly emerge from this "rush to judgment" only to commence a protracted 9-month general campaign.
In response, a consortium of partisan, bi-partisan and non-partisan interests have initiated the National Presidential Caucus with an "Open Call to Participate" in local, self-organized, web-enabled face to face gatherings across the country on December 7, 2007 in preparation for the highly compressed national primary process.
