Welcome to my blog--please look around and vote to send me as an Idaho delegate to the Democratic National Convention

Hi--I'm Michael Riley from Potlatch, Idaho. Please vote for me to be an Idaho Obama delegate to the Democratic National convention.



I am running to become your voice at the National Democratic Party Convention as an Obama delegate representing Idaho. Here are a few reasons why I am strongly qualified to help share Idaho’s vision for positive change on a national stage.

As your delegate I will work diligently and effectively to:

• Continue a dialog that keeps Idaho relevant and strategically important—we were a key early constituency for Obama and need to continue to be an agent of change within our Party, our State, and our nation. I will keep the message that the Idaho lesson of organization, action, and a “small states, all states” strategy should continue to work if we get the support we need not just in election years, but also once we have changed the players and leveled the playing field.

• Help craft a Party platform that shares Idaho’s unique vision of Federal and State’s rights—Idahoans speak out with one voice against “No Child Left Behind” and “USA PATRIOT Act” violations of our Constitutional rights. The job set before us now is to build the coalition that invites all of the people who share this common belief into the Democratic Party, where they belong.

• Bring to the Convention the youthful enthusiasm and strong work ethic for social and political justice that has brought Barack Obama to the national stage so quickly and powerfully—we need to seize the energy and excitement of these times and work with all Americans regardless of political affiliation to fix the real problems that we face. I can communicate that passion, live that example of respect and tolerance toward others, and work tirelessly to bring our shared vision to reality.
