    Files added to SkyDrive

    You should notice a link to something called "SkyDrive." It is a spaces feature that allows one to upload documents for others to download. I have never used this feature before, so I am not sure if it works.
    There, you will find my "Guide to Parliamentary Procedure" as well as the Jefferson County Republican Party bylaws, the rules for the Precinct Convention and LD Caucuses, as well as a word document of my "How to Become a Republican Delegate, Part I".
    If my font is too small for you, bring the document up in word, click ctrl-A (or Select All from the Edit menu), then choose Font from the Format menu, then choose the number for the font size you want.
    A final bonus Excel file is a listing of all the results for all the Presidential Primaries I could find.
    Let me know if you have problems downloading them.
    If you don't have Microsoft Office, you can download the Word Viewer from here:
     
    Someone pointed out to me that the bylaws state that everything has to be seconded by two people. Be aware of that when making motions requiring seconding.
     
    Also, be sure that any resolutions you introduce are available in written form. In fact, I would suggest making several copies and find other people in other Legislative Districts to pass the same resolution. If any resolution passes at least five LDs, then that resolution is supposed to be presented at the County Convention.
    See you on Saturday.
