For Immediate Release

Statement from California Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres on the Historic Turnout in Sunday’s Congressional District-Level Delegate Selection CaucusesSacramento -- Senator Art Torres (Ret.), Chairman of the California Democratic Party, today issued the following statement:"Since I became Chair of our great Party in 1996, I have never seen such an incredible outpouring of Democratic activists at congressional district-level delegate selection caucuses. More than 23,000 Democrats showed up Sunday afternoon to support more than 2,500 candidates vying for 241 slots.“We should be proud of California Democrats for recognizing what is at stake for our state, our nation and our world in this Presidential election.“Not everyone can attend the Democratic National Convention this year, but everyone can participate from now until Election Day on November 4, 2008 to help elect a Democratic President.“My thanks to the great staff of the CDP, who handled this very difficult process --  first helping potential delegates with their applications, making sure they were completed correctly; helping the campaigns find appropriate caucus sites -- and then working the phones all day Sunday to make sure that these elections went smoothly; and of course to the conveners of each of the caucuses and their volunteers who helped coordinate these historic events. I also extend my gratitude to the local, state and national staff of both the Clinton and Obama campaigns.“Now the work begins anew and Democrats are ready to win back the White House in 2008!"

April 13th attend your District Delegate Election Caucus for the 2008 DNC Convention in Denver! by Susan Rowe  Published Tuesday, 04/08/08 @ 2:48 pm. Linked to California for Democracy. 

Written in a message from the Chairman of the California Democratic Party, State Senator Art Torres (Ret.) titled "You get to choose".

This Sunday, April 13, you get to pick the delegates who will be sent from California to the Democratic National Convention in Denver next August. Whether you support Sen. Hillary Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama, you'll have a chance to determine who goes to Denver and who watches on TV.

The caucuses to elect the delegates will take place everywhere in the state at 3:00 p.m., with sign-in starting at 2:00 p.m. Every aspect of the 2008 Democratic presidential race has generated lots of enthusiasm and excitement, so we expect that these caucuses will be very well attended. That's why we're trying something new this year.

The California Democratic Party has put up a widget on our website where you can go to pre-register for the caucuses. All you have to do is go to www.cadem.org and look on the right-hand side -- then just fill in the blanks and follow the prompts. You can cut down on the long lines and help out the campaign volunteers who are staging these events by taking this simple step ahead of time. The deadline for pre-registration is Thursday, April 10th at 12:00 Noon.
