No Shit, I can't believe the Texas State Party has to send this out, but they did
"It has come to our attention that someone, perhaps in the name of the Texas Democratic Party, is spreading misinformation about upcoming County and Senate District Conventions. We have received reports from delegates who have received e-mails saying that conventions have been cancelled. We have also received unconfirmed reports that someone is placing robo-calls, claiming to be from the Texas Democratic Party, suggesting that county or district conventions have been cancelled.
"The Texas Democratic Party has not been informed that any county or district convention has been cancelled or postponed. If any delegates receive information to that effect, I urge them to plan to attend their convention as scheduled unless they receive information about a postponement or cancellation from their local Democratic County Chair or the official Texas Democratic Party website.
PS: A diary just below me on the actual convention process
"As we begin the next step in the convention process, all eyes are once again on Texas, watching and waiting to see the outcome of the delegate count that will be determined by our County and Senatorial District Conventions and State Convention. I am confident that the vast majority of Democrats will conduct our convention business in the fairest, most professional, and most impartial manner possible, as we work to convert the enthusiasm driving the convention process into Democratic victories from the County Courthouse to the State House to the White House."
BTW, PLEASE Show Up Early. I just got a list of Challenges for SD-17 in harris County, and it's about 125 people long. In my own precinct, I lost 2 delegates (Moved) but already have alternates in their place moving up. Hillary's people lost one delegate FYI too, and they are sans-alternate in my precinct b/c they didn't have enough show up.
GO TO YOUR CONVENTION EARLY, EXPECT DELAYS, BE PATIENT AND PERSISTENT
Lastly, the Collin County convention IS Sunday March 30th, if you didn't know.

Link 2
My bet is, this is Republicans fucking with us, the way they did in Georgia... No way would I believe Hillary's people actually would stoop to this depth... these are republicans trying to fuck again with Democrats...
Please rec so we can get the word out.
More on the process
Lastly, if there was a night to call, THIS IS IT
SMALL UPDATE
omg, thank you all for the rec list :) I'm glad the word got out and I'm sure the party is as well. Misinformation of any kind is horrible.
For anyone whose interested, after a 3 hour credentials subcommittee meeting, it was ruled that the 125 challenges were not properly filed and notified as the list was sprung on the SD at 1pm this afternoon, so it'll go to the full committee consideration but wasn't ratified by the subcommittee. For anyone interested, it was a Clinton Committee Member who stood strongest against it, and stood by the rules. Talk about building unity!!! She and an Obama Committee Member voted in unison to send the challenges down (because they were only filed on Friday, not 4 days ahead, and didn't notify those challenged properly).
And last, I found out info in our training for tomorrow. Our Senate District Convention will cost the SD17PAC $20,000 to put on because they're expecting 1,400 Delegates and 500-1000 alternates and have Audio Visuals set up throughout the school to show the results. $3000+ in Hand Out and Print Outs... It's expensive and entirely supported by Donations...
SO, in the spirit of Burt, our SD Chair, Please, Everyone, Bring a Checkbook to your Senate District Convention Tomorrow... they're participant funded and there will be many local candidates there who will also appreciate any donations you can give... lets show our local party just how generous us Obama folks can be...
get sleep ya'll... tomorrow will be a long long day
