SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION
Last weekend we had a very successful convention. Party platform planks and resolutions were completed, and after the Convention concluded, the State Central Committee selected delegates for our National Convention in Denver. Special speakers included Sen Tim Johnson, Sen George McGovern, State Sen Scott Heidepriem, and Johnson campaign manager Steve Jarding. And... we got pictures: http://www.qurl.com/cfzr9
There are also reports and video at http://badlandsblue.com.

At the Central Committee meeting, directly after the convention was completed on Saturday, four West River delegates were chosen to represent South Dakota at the National Dem Convention in Denver: Malcom Chapman, Martin Yeung, and Cecilia Fire Thunder will join sitting delegate Russell Blacksmith (who was elected in March). (Tom Katus missed the cut by just a few Obama votes in the June 3 primary.)

Presidents Day Parade pictures!
Those out of town at Convo missed a great parade on June 28. PenDems were on the scene, spreading the good word that we have great candidates that are ready to serve on Day One in Pierre!
