IMPORTANT - Caucus Procedures

During your Democratic Caucus one of the first and most important procedures you need to vote on is how the delegates are distributed. You'll have a choice of, "Winner Takes All" or "Equal Proportion Representation". It's critical to vote for "Equal Proportion Representation" and you will need to explain why it's so important to the other delegates:

I will over simplify this so it's easy to understand and you'll see why voting for, " Equal Proportion Representation" is so critical and important.

Let's say your caucus has 10 delegates up for grabs

If you vote for "Winner Takes All" and:
Candidate A has 4 votes
Candidate B has 3 votes
Candidate C has 3 votes

Candidate A gets all 10 delegates, even though 60% (the majority) don't want Candidate A.

If you vote for "Equal Proportion Representation" and

Candidate A has 4 votes
Candidate B has 3 votes
Candidate C has 3 votes

Candidate A gets 4 delegates, Candidate B gets 3 delegates and Candidate C gets 3 delegates.

Now at the Democratic National Convention, Candidate B and Candidate C could form a coalition and give the majority of Democrats (60%) what they want, rather than the minority (40%).

Who could possible disagree with "Equal Proportion Representation"? It gives the majority what they want. That's democracy.

Education And Religious Craziness

TYLER (KYTX)- An estimated 300 thousand Texas students are home-schooled, but the case of one El Paso family with strong religious views could change the landscape of home schooling in Texas.

That family is accused of failing to teach their children educational basics because they say they were waiting to be transported to heaven with the second coming of Jesus Christ. The Texas Supreme Court is preparing to hear that case this week.....
