FDL It is my understanding that this vote will be taken sometime tomorrow. Sorry that this will be very short but I think that it is important information to distribute and I don't want it lost in an Open Thread.
All of the state representatives (to the DNC) are meeting in Chicago ... and they are taking a Lieberman vote. If it's either overwhelming or unanimous that could be pretty hard hitting. I'm embarrassed to say that I know of this because our state committeeman spoke of it at a county Dem meeting last evening and was wondering if we (other states) should get involved - he was brought to his knees fairly rapidly and will now be voting against Lieberman at the meeting. We convinced him that it was a party issue not merely a state election issue.
Please contact contact your local DNC representative and let them know your feelings on the subject.
Sorry I am not sure of the exact wording of the vote to be taken and can't find out anything other than it seems to be a vote on how involved the DNC will be in the CT election. This is how I handled not having the exact wording:
It is my understanding that all the state representatives of the DNC are having a meeting in Chicago to vote on the Joe Lieberman's status after declaring his 3rd. Party candidacy in CT.
Please recommend and keep this diary going so that the community can see it and take action. Thank you.
UPDATE: They are voting on 8/19 On Whether Or Not To ask Lieberman to withdraw from the race and support Ned Lamont.
This step, if taken, would important because it will get media coverage and distance the Democratic Party from Joe Lieberman and it will send a strong message to the voters in CT that the party respects it's wishes.
