    Thanks, I was wondering when the next conventions were. Let's keep going!

    Don't let this thread die letting threads filled with complaining and moaning rise to the top. If we can show the people in the states that still have delegates to be selected that they still matter, they will see this and go out there and get it done!

    Also, I forgot to add in the states that have not held primaries yet. They'll be added in ASAP.

    Kay. It is still a deadline, though. I just got an email from the state coordinator reinforcing that we need phone bankers and that we need to get people registered, so I wanted to mention it.

    They have either already happened or there was not a state convention. Most of the time there isn't a convention when there is a winner take all primary.

    If there is anyone attending the convention and planning on doing a Ustream, let us know. If you need anything, or want to help coordinate Pizza-Bombs, let's plan ahead.
