2013 Caucus Proposed Platform Resolution Rules and Information

The Platform of the Johnson County Democrats may be found at our website: http://jcdems.org/resources/JCPlatformAsApproved2012.pdf

This platform is in effect until the next County Convention which will take place in 2014.

Please review our current Platform before submitting a resolution at this off-year caucus to be sure that the main idea of your resolution is not already in our platform.

Off-year Caucus Resolutions are used as informational statements of the positions of the Johnson County Democrats. They do not become part of the 2012 Platform. They will be submitted for consideration to the County Platform Committee in the drafting of the upcoming 2014 Platform.

Resolutions must be submitted in clearly written form to one of the Platform CoChairs Robin Roseman or Dennis Roseman before proposal on the floor. The name of the proposer must be indicated at the top.

The proposer must be present when their resolution is discussed.

There will be a total time limit of 5 minutes for discussion of each resolution. The proposer will have a maximum of 2 minutes, followed by speakers alternating pro and con a maximum of 1 minute each, subject to extension via majority vote.

If there is not time to discuss all resolutions in this manner within 1 hour, all remaining resolutions will be passed on without a vote to the County Platform Committee for consideration.

At Hills and Shueyville there is a large room for the meeting and caucus will be in a portion of that room.

Other multiple locations are in the Clear Creek Amma School District. The way they do it is have the maintenance person determine rooms at each location so we do not know in advance.

Notes To Caucus Chairs:

If you did not attend our training, January 9 will have a “last minute” training on Thursday January 21, in Meeting Room D of the Iowa City Public Library.
If you need training/packets and cannot come on Jan 21, contact the Chair as soon as possible.

Secretary of Agriculture candidate Francis Thicke will be at SE Jr High (and time permitting West High) to introduce himself (for two minutes) at as many local caucuses as he can get to. Please welcome him and try to fit him in if he comes to your caucus.

Make sure you have contact information for all elected Central Committee members, County Delegates and Alternates, members of the Platform Committee and Committee on Committees. Try and get as many EMAILS as possible and
make sure you can read the email information.

AFTER THE CAUCUS: IMPORTANT THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED AT THE JAN 9TH TRAINING AND IS NOT WHAT THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE PACKET TELL YOU TO DO.

After the caucus we want ALL materials brought the Coralville Public Library in Meeting Room A (downstairs). There
will be Dems gathered there that will separate and organize all of your caucus packets and get them sent to where they are supposed to go.

DO NOT USE THE MAIL, DO NOT HOLD ON TO THE PACKET. WE NEED ALL INFORMATION ON SATURDAY AFTER CAUCUS SO WE CAN BEGIN TO PLAN FOR THE CONVENTION.

ALSO,
Help is needed to help sort out packets from caucuses. We will sort at Meeting Room A (downstairs) of the Coralville Public Library.

Some local officials and their supporters might have an interest in helping since they have petitions “in the mix”.

We will start as soon as we can (probably 2:30, Room is reserved beginning at 2). Hope to be done by 5.
