The Annual Delaware County Democratic Nominating Convention
will convene at 7 pm on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 at the
Towne House, Baltimore Pike and Veterans Square in Media.
Sign in begins at 6:30. The convention will nominate
candidates for the following offices:
Delaware County Council
County Controller Sheriff Register of wills The convention will consist of nominating speeches and the candidates will also give remarks. We expect some statewide Democrats to attend and speak as well.
In addition to endorsing for the above offices, there may
be possible consideration of platform issues and/or
resolutions. There will also be reports and speeches from a
number of county party leaders on various issues.
All county committee members (regular, additional and ex-officio) are entitled to vote at the nominating convention. Non-committee members are welcome to attend as guests. We also need non-committee members to help staff the convention at the sign in table and as convention floor marshalls. If interested, contact Tony Campisi.
The convention will be preceded by a cocktail
party at 6pm. The cost is $25 per person and helps raise
money to cover convention and other party expenses. For
tickets to the cocktail party, send a check to:

"American presidents for decades have believed
in the Geneva Conventions because they protect
American troops captured by the enemy. It's a
mistake to choose as our nation's chief law
enforcement officer someone who called these
protections 'quaint' and opened a Pandora's Box
that has tarred America's image in the world and
placed our troops at even greater risk."
Sen. John Kerry, on voting against the
confirmation of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney
General
