Big Doin’s in Lansing, Michigan, State Republican Convention 2015
Someone recently rediscovered[1] that as public parties, both the Democrats and Republicans, are actually susceptible to grassroots influence—through the precinct delegate elective process. Thus, yours truly, a bona fide secular libertarian, to help out his liberty-oriented[2] friends in the Republican Party:
- put my name on the August 5 ballot
- won as one of two persons running for three spots
- attended the (Oakland) county state-delegate selection convention August 14…
- … where I was selected as a delegate to the state candidate-nominating convention on August 23
- then as a delegate to the county convention on February 5, 2015 (charged with selecting delegates to the state-party organizing convention) I was selected as an alternate delegate to the state-party organizing convention[3]
- and now as an alternate delegate to the state-party organizing convention held February 20, 21, 2015, in Lansing I may have a chance to be elevated to delegate status
