The Day's A Comin'

Big doings in the next few weeks. Mark your calendars.

We are only ten days away from the debut of the Northern Alliance Radio Show here in Minneapolis-St. Paul on AM-1280 The Patriot. March 6th 12:00pm-3:00pm CST. All your favorite Northern Alliance bloggers (and Atomizer) will be featured at various times on the talk radio program. Tune in, turn on, and call in.

And next Tuesday night both political parties will be holding precinct caucuses here in the North Star State. The Dems will have a chance to vote in the presidential primary, while there are really no serious races at stake on the GOP side. But I would strongly encourage the faithful (or even moderately interested) of both parties to show up and get involved.

The caucuses are an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door and become more active in politics. If you wish to have an influence on you party and its direction show up. If you want to get the chance to attend conventions from the local senate and congressional districts up to and including the state show up. If you want to meet, talk with, and get to know your local representatives and even statewide office holders show up.

There is an old adage that goes something like "90% of politics is showing up". And nowhere is this more true than the caucuses. So what are you waiting for? Just show up.

I'll be helping run a precinct caucus in St. Louis Park (I'll let you guess the party) and if you mention Fraters Libertas I'll let you vote twice. Kidding, only kidding. I'll leave the voting fraud and looking the other way while cute Irish girls stuff the ballot box to my compatriot on the other side of the river.

Don't know where to show up? Check out this handy precinct caucus finder. And then show up.
