I was looking through my calendar and saw that the local National Democratic Party Delegate elections will soon occur.It is still not too late to step forward and say that you want to go to a National Democratic Party Convention. You will have to compete for it but to qualify you must be a party member. Heres the process

District-level delegates and alternates shall be elected by congressional district conventions held on Saturday, March 29, 2008.[S]

I THOUGHT I WOULD FIND OUT WHAT A PERSON HAS TO DO TO ATTEND AND BEABLE TO VOTE AT THESE CONVENTIONS.

First I went to Marks Brewers home page, the Michigan Democratic Party at http://michigandems.com/

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY RELEASES 2008 NATIONAL CONVENTION PLEDGED DELEGATE, ALTERNATE, AND COMMITTEE ALLOCATION [MD]

Allocation based on January 15, 2008 Primary Results [MD]

The Michigan Democratic Party today released the official allocation of pledged delegates, alternates, and committee members for Hillary Clinton and for Uncommitted based on the official January 15, 2008 Presidential Primary results certified by the Board of State Canvassers on February 4, 2008. [MD]

Overall, Clinton will have 73 pledged delegates, 16 pledged alternates, and 10 committee members, and there will be 55 uncommitted delegates, 5 uncommitted alternates, and 8 uncommitted committee members. [MD]

Eighty-three (83) pledged delegates and 15 pledged alternates will be elected at Congressional District Conventions on March 29, 2008. The remaining 45 pledged delegates and 6 pledged alternates will be elected at a State Central Committee meeting on May 17, 2008 in Grand Rapids. Committee members will be elected that day by the entire delegation. [MD]

These 128 pledged delegates, 21 pledged alternates and 18 committee members together with 28 unpledged delegates (also known as "super delegates") will constitute Michigan’s delegation to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado on August 25-28.[MD]

The Genesee County Congressional District is mostly Dale Kildees 5th Congressional District.
The 5th Congressional District has been allocated for Clinton 2 Female Delegates and 2 male Delegates with 1 male altenate. The uncommitted delegates Are 1 female and 1 male delegate.[MD]

The State Party has a link to a pdf document Titled michigan delegated selection plan.
