In case you were getting convention hungry and ready for another chaotic representation of democracy, the county convention is next Saturday and here is the Travis County info for those of you who plan on attending:

Democrats:

Sign-in begins at 7:00 a.m.

Convention convenes at 10:00 a.m.

Expect the County Convention to last until at least 7:00p.m. \

PLACE: Travis County Exposition Center, Luedecke Arena, 7311 Decker Lane
#37 Colony Park bus runs to the Expo Ctr about every 30 minutes for most of the day on Saturdays

Concession stand open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Because of the thousands of delegates and alternates that we are expecting, TCDP strongly suggests that you arrive EARLY to sign in. In years past, the TCDP has always mailed a courtesy postcard to all who were elected Delegates and Alternates out of their Precinct Conventions advising them of the County Convention. However, this year is different; we simply cannot mail out courtesy postcards. This is due to the sheer volume of people. HOWEVER, the TCDP will be contacting all the Precinct Convention Delegation Chairs, our current Travis County Democratic Precinct Chairs, local campaign organizers for the two Presidential campaigns and will also be sending out alerts via our E-Newsletter list.

AND even if you were not elected a Delegate or Alternate, the County Convention is open to the public; no charge. Anyone is welcome to attend. But only Delegates and Alternates can participate.

Parking at the Expo Center is $5, which is less than the $7 that the Palmer Events Center charged in 2006.

Republicans:

Saturday, March 29, 2008

The convention will accomplish two things:

1.  

   Select as many as 164 delegates and 164 alternate delegates to represent Senatorial District 14 at the Republican State Convention in Houston on June 12, 13, & 14.

2. Adopt a Party Platform for what Republicans in Senatorial District 14 stand for. This Platform will be forwarded to the Resolutions Committee at the State Convention for consideration.
