Kentucky Democratic Party Elections April 5 - Bring Your Own Pitchforks

Tired of bitching about the pathetic, useless, repug-fellating Democrats In Name Only who run the Kentucky Democratic Party?

Then Throw The Bastards Out!

Seriously. On April 5, Democrats in every precinct in every county throughout Kentucky will start voting for new party officers.

And this is not the usual hopeless "election" where you get to choose between Spineless DINO One and Spineless DINO Two.

Oh, no. This party officer election, which happens only once every four years, actually gives anyone the chance to become a democratic party official at the county, congressional district or even state level.

On Saturday morning, April 5, you show up at your precinct voting place with as many friends, relatives and neighbors who are registered Democrats in your precinct as you can, and vote yourself Precinct Captain. In most precincts, so few people attend that anyone who shows up and wants it gets it.

Think I'm kidding? Four years ago, a young man in Lexington was fed to the teeth with the way Kentucky and national Democratic "leaders" had treated his chosen presidential candidate. He decided that the best revenge was to take over the party from the inside. This political novice showed up at his precinct for the first round of party elections, and ended up on the state Central Committee.

Today, he's Executive Director of the Kentucky Democratic Party.

Don't like how Jeremy Horton is handling his new-found power? Then do to him exactly what he did to his predecessors: show up April 5 and get yourself elected precinct captain.

It's not difficult, but it does require a little planning. For that, the KDP is providing the means of its own overthrow: statewide training sessions starting this Monday, March 3.

I'll even give you a little hint the KDP trainers won't mention: Double-check your precinct voting location a few days before April 5, to make sure the existing party officials haven't changed it at the last minute, which they have been known to do. Then show up at least one hour early, to make sure they don't hold a quickie early election to protect incumbents.

So go to a training session and show up on April 5, or else for the next four years, you have to Sit The Fuck Down and Shut The Fuck Up.
