February Meeting - Monday, February 20, 2012 (More information coming soon)The Buchanan School District Bond Issue: Disclaimer: When the Writers requested time to speak at our meeting, we agreed as an informational presentation. SCDC does not officially endorse the Buchanan School District bond issue -- it is a matter that each of our members will have to consider based on their own economic circumstances and the nature of flux in education as the Michigan legislature has now embraced unlimited charter schools and cyber schools. It is for the individual to decide the merits and needs of this bond issue.

District-level delegates and alternates will be elected at congressional district conventions on June 2, 2012 and statewide delegates and alternates elected at a State Central Committee meeting on June 23, 2012.

State Convention - March 10 - Cobo CenterThe Michigan Democratic Party Endorsement Convention will take place on March 10, 2012 at Cobo Center in Detroit. At this convention, we will endorse eight candidates for Education Boards and three candidates for Michigan Supreme Court - an unprecedented action that will give our Democratic candidates the opportunity to meet voters, travel throughout the state, and raise the money needed to defeat Republicans in November. Taking back control of the State Supreme Court means that Democrats will be able to reverse some of the most dangerous Republican policies coming out of Lansing, and we want to make sure our Democratic candidates have every possible advantage. I look forward to seeing all of you at the Endorsement Convention on March 10, 2012. We need Democrats from across the state to stand united to ensure Democratic victory in November. Sincerely, Mark Brewer, P.S. If you have any questions about the status of your State Party membership, please email the MDP at membership@michigandems.com. P.S.S.

Posted 1/29/1012 DNC Approves MDP 2012 Delegate Selection Plan
MDP Will Hold Presidential Caucus on May 5, 2012 LANSING – The Democratic National Committee has approved the Michigan Democratic Party’s 2012 Delegate Selection Plan, which includes holding a presidential caucus on May 5, 2012. Under the plan, Michigan Democrats will not be participating in the 2012 presidential primary election – a primary which is costing taxpayers $10 million. “Under this plan, Michigan Democrats will not be participating in the presidential primary,” Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer said. “We call on the Michigan Republican Party to do the right thing and join with us to cancel this unnecessary primary, and save $10 million which can be used to fund vital services.” “Both political parties should hold caucuses at their own expense and the state should use the $10 million to save hundreds of jobs of teachers, firefighters, and police officers,” added Brewer. “If Republicans truly care about being fiscally responsible, they will cancel the primary and save Michigan taxpayers $10 million.” The MDP will hold caucuses at approximately 200 locations around the state on May 5th. District-level delegates and alternates will be elected at congressional district conventions on June 2, 2012 and statewide delegates and alternates elected at a State Central Committee meeting on June 23, 2012. The MDP’s decision to hold a caucus in May will provide Michigan with the largest delegation it has ever sent to a national convention – over 200 delegates and alternates.
