Everyone here I'm sure has heard about the national day of action to honor the President- Elect's Inauguration. If you haven't, here is the skinny.

From an email from the next First Lady:

It will take ordinary citizens working together with a common purpose to get this country back on track. This national day of service is an important first step in our continuing commitment.

Now is the time to remind all Americans what ordinary people can accomplish when we stand together.

I've been busy organizing an event for the 19th as well. With more than a few others I'll be busy helping homeless veterans in Las Vegas.

Well the Nevada Caucus has come and gone. I stayed neutral throughout the entire process. As a result I spent most of my time helping the Nevada State Democratic Party with any odd jobs which were needed to get the caucus process up and running. What this resulted in for me was mostly volunteer time. I also had a request (which I put in back in the late spring/early summer) to run one of the at-large strip caucus sites. Being I am a craps dealer, I thought this would be right up my alley.

To be sure I figured it would be an exciting place to spend caucus day (being I would not caucus for any candidate). I had no idea the level of controversy the caucus sites would generate in the week before the caucus kicked off. I also had no idea of the enormity of these caucus sites. I helped run the Mirage caucus site along with 8 other people. We were all needed!

Over the fold I will take you on a tour of history, the first at-large caucus site in history (along with 8 other sites at other casinos).

(Las Vegas, NV) The Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 525 & the Nevada Democratic Veterans & Military Families Caucus assembled more than 150 care packages for our troops on Saturday, August 25th. The care packages will be going to the Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany.

Army chaplains in Landstuhl collect items for our troops who have been wounded during combat in Iraq or Afghanistan and are in transit back to the United States. Our wounded troops even have to rely on donated phone cards in order to call home.
