The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee met in Washington today to review and give conditional or final approval to approximately 25 state 2012 Democratic National Convention Delegate selection plans.

Deficit reduction and holding Republicans accountable. They ran up most of the debt, now they want immediate and unreasonable budget cuts which will send the country back into recession, in the hope that this will help them win in 2012. Appalling.
#VASummit There were a number of concurrent events, which you will be able to view at the DPVA website. I think it was a very well done event – next time, perhaps more time for questions and exchange of ideas and some different topics. I am sure that they will get feedback and improve future..
