Casual Soapbox

Casual Soapbox is a blog, the purpose of which is to provide me with a venue to expound upon politics, popular culture, religion, humor, and any other topic that boils my blood. I'd love to say I have big plans for this site, but I don't, except to bloviate pompously, deprecate myself and others, practice my verbal skills, and pathetically imitate popular people I admire. So, if any of that appeals to you, this blog's for you!

The Delegate from Precinct 301

A month ago, I had never heard of precinct conventions, but I went yesterday evening to my convention after the polls closed for the primaries. The precinct captain was there presiding, along with two former Sunset Valley city council members. A total of 8 adults and one minor were present, and we debated resolutions into the night. All four of the resolutions I brought and presented passed unanimously. All four were related to gay rights, and although I did not write them myself -- I got them from Equality Texas, after Glen Maxey sent out links) -- they're all resolutions I believe in strongly. I'm so happy they were approved.

Also, I'm proud to say I was elected a delegate to the Travis County Democratic Convention. Now, we had 4 delegate slots and 4 participants who wanted to go, so it wasn't like there was any heated contest or anything, but I'm still proud, darn it. This is about as involved as I've ever been in politics, and I'm loving it! I'm such a dork...

Anyone else out there going? Readers? Other bloggers? Celebrities? Canadians?

Sure am. This BOR writers is headed there. You wouldn't believe it, but Jennifer Gale is in my precinct and is a fellow delegate with me.
