IT WASN’T VOTING!!!!!!!!!! It was the temperature taking....THE “votes” MEAN NOTHING! We don’t have our State Convention until late May, when the DELEGATES are CHOSEN!

In our caucus, I stood up when the lead woman asked if any one had a motions that they wanted to be brought forward and suggested that we withhold all our delegates from McCain until the GOP party leaders change the primary system so that WA voters are never disenfranchised by our own party, again. I received a round of applause, and the largest block of voters checked the undecided block.

The woman who was conducting the caucus said that it couldn’t be changed because it was up to the individual states. I said that the Democrat Party manages to control the states by not counting their delegates. We could do the same thing. We could also set requirements for prior party registration. Independents and late registrants can vote, but their votes won’t count toward delegates. They get a different ballot.

After the caucus, Doug Erikson, our state legislator, told me that he heard what I said about the primary and he agreed that they system is broken and needs to be fixed. He said that he would bring it up with the other Republican legislators.
