How engaged are you in local political action?

Poll question: How engaged are you in local political action?

Given that there is no Savior and that we the people must do the work if we hope to turn things around, I'd like to learn a little more about our current community here at DU.

I don't think you can select more than one option, so please, if more than one pertain, make a comment sharing more information.

Mahalo!

1. As for me,

I am a delegate for the Democratic party
I am a member of ADA (Americans for Democratic Action)
My state rep and senator know me by name, and I contact them at least once a session
I am a Green Party member or advocate
I advocate for publicly financed campaigns
I am a member of the Progressive Democrats of America
I volunteered in the last election
I am a member of Democracy for America
My Congressperson and Senator know me by name and I contact them at least once a session.

I'm not bragging, I'm just telling you.

2. I don't know if they know me by name, but they know me by sight

as I have spoken to them in and after public meetings numerous times.

4. I selected "I am a delegate"

but several others also apply.

5. Cool! What committee are you on?

When Democrats in your state legislature vote against your platform, does the party do anything about it?

We just kicked somebody out, finally...

6. No, I'm a DFL party delegate, and a precinct chair.

7. You need a choice for people who phone federal and/or local officials on specific issues.

There's also some straight out freelance actions going on too.

8. My Congressperson knows me by name

and I usually get a hug when he sees me. I was one of the original volunteers on his first campaign.

9. I like to vote

10. I clicked on 'I volunteered in the last election," but I also:

was a delegate to the State Democratic Convention
am a member of the Democratic Town Committee
my state rep knows me by name; I've met and talked with my state senator a couple of times but I don't think he remembers me-yet.
I met my Congressperson once an I've also gone to his office on an issue, but he doesn't know me.
