Thinking beyond the convention,

the Clinton Campaign is going to need lots of volunteers, everywhere in this country. If you're interested, you can contact your local Democratic Party organization (Google Democratic Party {yourstate} and drill down to your local area), or you can contact the campaign directly and put your name on its volunteer list:

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/volunteer/

You'll be contacted by someone in your state or city after a bit. It's a great way to meet interesting, interested people and become a campaign activist. Everyone can help, from people who can only do phone-banking to activists who will canvass, register voters and do all of the other things required to win an election.

that's 'Thinking beyond the convention'?

what about all the issues that DEM folks have brought up this primary cycle?

good to now know the 'extent' of your commitment to the party and what it stands for MM...

...but then again did anyone really have any doubt about how far establishment folks would go to reforming the process and party?...

I'll look for some good down-ticket progressive Democrats to support (although Keith Ellison has no serious challengers). If there is such a thing as a "Dump Trump" lawn sign (or something like that) I'll put one up. I can't see myself actually working for Hillary - she'll take MN anyhow. I won't work against her and I will vote for her, but don't ask me to do more than that.

I have been impressed with the Houston grass roots group. They are very well organized
