I attended an organizing meeting for Bernie Sanders for President tonight at the Montgomery County Democratic Party HQ on S. Wilkinson Street. There were about 40 people in attendance. That equals what sometimes shows up for a MCDP meeting.
Apparently, there is a question whether Democrats can meet to organize in their own building without permission of Party Chairman, and Dayton Clerk of Courts- Mark Owens. The very one who was against the recent move to regionalism because it [1]:
could lead to the disenfranchisement of Dayton’s 140,000 residents when pushed into a larger voting block
It’s no secret that the people behind the curtain who run the MCDP and choose candidates and endorse before primaries in local races, have already come out in support of Hillary Clinton, but is it their right to stop other Dems from organizing? To stop primary elections from taking place?
If the local Democratic party doesn’t believe in the Democratic process, maybe it’s time to withdraw their credentials, stop them from nominating half of the Board of Elections, since they don’t really stand for all Dems- just the ones they’ve already put in power.
Jon Husted, can we get an investigation?

Oh please. Anything that involves Jon Husted immediately loses all credibility. . .
But you had the meeting, right? How did it go?
Does anyone have insight into cases of dues-paying Democrats being dropped from the party’s mailing list again and again?
AJ- this meeting went well, for a cheer club meeting. The people are all motivated, but severely lacking in guidance and tools from the national campaign. Not a good sign.
The next meeting will be at the Brown Street Panera- since Owens is being uncooperative.
As to you, TRuddick- they just don’t like you.
For now, Bernie’s campaign is totally focused on the early states. If he doesn’t win a few of them, he won’t have the money to make it to Ohio in mid June. Nonetheless, he needs this grassroots movement in case he does make it.
Nobody loves me except me and my monkey.
But David, you forget, I am not a member of any political party, I refuse to give any of them money since it only encourages them. My question arises from a friend’s experience (and my friend is FAR more likeable).
Trying to divide up the same majority of knuckleheads who have voted for the bums that have lead the city and county down the drain for the past 40 years.
