I wrote the following for the Cortez FourCornersFreePress, it's some reflections on attending our local Democratic Caucus and then moving on the County Assembly. In a couple weeks I'll be going to Bloomfield to be a delegate at the State Democratic Assembly.

I love our Colorado Caucus process. What can be more American than gathering in town-hall style meetings to iron out political decisions? If you’re fortunately enough to belong to a precinct with engaged citizens, the room will be crowded and abuzz with chatter. After all, we’re meeting new neighbors and hopefully reestablished old acquaintances, so there’s lots of chitchat to exchange.
Some folks are busy campaigning for themselves or others, some are busy advocating for their issues, and others simply feel it’s their patriotic duty to be there and participate.
On March 6, I attended our precinct caucus and was one of those lobbying. Then it was time to take our seats and commence the meeting.
