This is the first time Florida Democrats are having caucuses in counties across the state to put President Obama on the ballot, and to begin the selection of delegates to the Democratic National Convention to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In addition to voting, you should plan to have some fun. This is a great opportunity to get to know your local party, meet other Democrats in an informal setting, have a bite to eat, take advantage of our communications training, pick up your Obama yard signs and bumper stickers, sign up for email alerts, and even volunteer to help elect Democrats here in Sarasota County!
