Illinois GOP Convention Delegates: Sign in please
Illinois Review has had person after person contact us, asking us how we could facilitate getting the list of IL GOP State Convention delegates. The convention is coming up June 6-7, 2008 in Decatur, and we don't know who they are, and the IL GOP is evidently short-staffed and unable to provide the information yet. We're sure they will sometime soon.
So. . . . in the meantime . . .
We at Illinois Review are willing to help IL GOP rank and file out by providing a venue to gather in names of folks who will be presented with delegate credentials at the state convention in a couple of weeks. This will only be as effective as you all make it, and we need your help to get the word out about this project.
Let's get as many folks as possible who are bonafide delegates to sign in. If we find there's phonies (i.e. Mickey Mouse, etc.) we'll delete immediately.
Let's get started . . . tell us your name, your township or county represented, any committee you're serving on, and if you're comfortable, provide your email address for public information. If you'd rather not have your email on the blog, send it to info@illinoisreview.com and we'll collect the information for those who request it.
We'll iron out the kinks as we move along, but please, get your name by commenting below ASAP to help us all know who each other are.
Someone could contact each county and/or twp chair and go down a list of their captains/committeemen/township and county elected officials/elected st Reps and St Sen etc. with them and ask "Is this guy frome precint 1 a delegate? From Precinct 2? From your women's group? etc.
Each chairman could voluntarily post those delegates he knows of in his group to the blog. It would be reasonable to post them in categories of "Definitely" and "Maybe". There no doubt are some who have been "appointed" and have replied "I'll go if I am able to get off work or honey-dos".
