We need to talk about the difference between Rules, ByLaws, Executive Board and Chair of a Caucus in 4th DIst of Philadelphia. I am a 26 year member. I agree that some changes need to be made. Were you running for State Executive Board of a Caucus Charir. I just saw your post. Jacqueline Smith-Bennett pointed it out to me. Are you on a Statewide Committee. I am on ByLaws and Jacquie is on Rules. 717-697-4517 Sandy Wolfe,Member State CommitteeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2200669326669138986.post-22102679058765502742010-07-06T17:05:22.077-04:002010-07-06T17:05:22.077-04:00I love these reflections, Karen. You clearly know how to listen to your conscience, perhaps even more so when others either are not doing that, or don&#39;t have one! (hope that&#39;s not too rough!) I think this is great and am sure you&#39;re going to make a difference. It is hard to explain to others why we&#39;d be committed to incremental change, given its slow pace, but really, what&#39;s the alternative!Jill Miller Zimonhttp://jillmillerzimon.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2200669326669138986.post-46603738671544895232010-06-23T13:48:25.234-04:002010-06-23T13:48:25.234-04:00Aissia and Mike, <br />Thanks for the encouragement! <br /><br />Just got an email from a Google group, paprogressivecaucus@googlegroups.com planning to set up a conference call. So something’s happening on the state level. <br /><br />Where are all those young progressives in Philly who 3 years ago were all fired up and going to run for committeeperson slots and revitalize the Democratic Party? I hope I&#39;m wrong but it doesn’t seem as if many new young people ran.karenhttp://www.gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2200669326669138986.post-59802997057608036042010-06-23T12:35:23.216-04:002010-06-23T12:35:23.216-04:00The old guard in the democratic party doesn&#39;t understand that it&#39;s a stronger party when people can see how decisions are made. Otherwise people become apathetic and don&#39;t believe that their actions have meaning if someone from the top is going to take care of it. I know you&#39;ll continue to hammer away at the &quot;it&#39;s always been done this way group&quot; for the rest of us.Mike Feaganshttp://ninthward.ning.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2200669326669138986.post-10109730796139002742010-06-22T16:45:10.168-04:002010-06-22T16:45:10.168-04:00Go on Karen!
