Event Description:

Resulting from a Resolution passed at the PPC Steering Committee meeting in January 2006, the TDP will begin offering hearings around the State in April and May allowing Democrats in each region to give public testimony as to what planks they would like to see in the Party Platform. This resolution was endorsed by the Party Chair Soechting, the Grassroots Committee of the SDEC, and Party Chair Candidate Boyd Ritchie and is meant to encourage more citizen participation and also increase the visibility of the platform writing process for the TDP. Party officials are organizing the logistics.

Testimony will be welcomed from any Democrat who has participated in the the most recent Primary election; others are welcome to attend and observe. Other town hall meetings will be provided throughout the state. Please check the TDP web site at www.txdemocrats.org in mid April as more local hearing details are provided.

Meeting Format 

Presenters must be Democrats, discussion will include a distinguished panel of SDEC members and Party leaders.  Time allocated per presenter will be according to the numbers who sign up to speak; we plan on a minimum of five minutes.
