2. Ok, I'm back...

Spoke somewhat successfully to the Party Chair (who votes) and to a senior member of executive committee (who doesn't). But, I think I convinced her to see Dean speak to the ACLU here on Saturday. I can't afford to go .... well not without ticking off my husband and spending the kids lunch money for 2 months....

3. Have you heard anything about how ACLU thing went?

There is not one word in the news. I hear he met with supporters ahead of time, though.
