BERNIE DELEGATE SELECTION TIMETABLE STARTS MONDAY MAY   Over the last few months people have been submitting their names to be Bernie delegates to the Democratic convention. Until last Tuesday we didn't know how many we could have or who specifically signed up.

On Monday May 2 the list of people applying to be a Bernie Delegate to the Democratic National Convention will be available. At that time we will know how many people will seek the 26 (or so) delegate spots.  Of that group, 17 (or so) will be elected in district caucus. The remaining 9 (or so) will be elected At-Large.  (Delegate numbers have not been certified yet)
The Sanders campaign has the final say as to who can be a delegate and the Sanders Delegation must fit in with the entire 71 member CT delegation – most of whom are pledged to Clinton.
                            (delegation estimates are listed in previous posts below)

Party rules require the delegation to be reflective of the state and embrace its diversity so the process to elect delegates is wrapped around that commitment to diversity.  It does make for a complicated and uncertain process starting Monday May 2 – but it will shake out, as it always does, by the time the process is completed June 7 and we should have a solid group of revolutionaries heading to Philly.       Everyone on the Bernie Delegate list will be contacted.  Stay tuned..

HAPPY MAY DAY  Quotes From Eugene Debs…
“The most heroic word in all languages is REVOLUTION.”

“When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule, the majority are wrong. The minority are usually right.”

“Ignorance alone stands in the way of socialist success. The capitalist parties understand this and use their resources to prevent the workers from seeing the light. Intellectual darkness is essential to industrial slavery.”
