Casper Star-Trib: Randall Terry halts illegal Wyoming robo-calls

Wyoming Secretary of State's office warns Randall Terry to halt illegal robo-calls. He complies (with a few snarky comments).

Attention Wyoming Democrats: GOP extremists attempting to hijack April 14 caucuses

Received this urgent message from the Laramie County Democrats and wanted to relay it ASAP (and please pass it on via social media and e-mail and word of mouth and any other means at your disposal):

Laramie County Democrats:

Action Alert: Extremists in the GOP are attempting to hijack and make a mockery of our Democratic Caucus on April 14, 2012. TODAY MARCH 30 IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS ON APRIL 14! IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR REGISTRATION STATUS OR DID NOT VOTE IN 2010 YOU MUST REGISTER WITH THE LARAMIE COUNTY CLERK IN PERSON. ELECTION CLERK PHONE: 633-4204

Apparently not content with turning their own presidential primary into a circus act, the GOP is sending out the clowns to try to disrupt our democratic process.

Anti-abortion activist Randall Terry hopes to seize control of the Wyoming Democratic Caucus. He's motivating Tea Party activists and followers to attend the Caucus. This is just another example of the obstructionist tactics the GOP resorts to when they don't have answers.

While the GOP continues to play games with politics, Wyoming Democrats are focused on addressing the real problems citizens in our great state face, and we will not be distracted by jesters or fools.

We NEED every registered Democrat in Laramie County to cast a ballot on April 14th. Please come to the Laramie County Community College Training Center. Registration begins at 9:30 AM, and the caucus will begin promptly at 11:00 AM.

Let's turn out in great numbers and show Randall Terry, and the rest of America, that Wyoming Democrats are tired of these charades and tactics. Let's continue the momentum of the 2008 election and continue to support our party as it struggles to make the changes that benefit all Americans.

If you have questions, please call:

Linda Stowers, Laramie County Chair 307.220.1219
Ken McCauley, Vice-Chair, 307.530.4970
Lori Brand, Communications Director, 307.631.3410

Randall Terry isn't a "bona fide Democrat" so can't claim any Wyoming delegates

This man ain't bona fide

Democrats may hear a strange name being batted around during the April 14 county caucuses.

According to the Casper Star-Tribune, anti-abortion zealot and wingnut Republican Randall Terry is trying to get 1,000 Wyoming Republicans to register as Democrats next month in the state Democratic caucuses and vote for him in a guerrilla campaign to oust President Barack Obama.

The Wyoming county parties will hold conventions on April 14 to elect delegates to the state convention. Those people will be vying for a spot in Wyoming’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention in September in Charlotte, N.C.

Wyoming Democratic Party Executive Director Robin Van Ausdall said Terry has filed the necessary letter for participation in the Democratic caucus and will be allowed to make speeches, but he will not collect any delegates. “We’re instructing our counties to not award delegates to him,” she said Monday, noting Terry is not a bona fide Democratic candidate.

On March 6, Terry’s weird campaign received a boost when he won 18 percent of the vote in Oklahoma’s Democratic presidential primary. Last week, in a move similar to what Wyoming party officials have planned, Oklahoma party officials said they wouldn’t give Terry his share of delegates because he didn’t follow the required procedures and because he’s not a bona fide Democrat.

Terry complained he was the victim of “political insider trading.”

But he did get plenty of media attention. On Monday in Casper, he described the fallout from Oklahoma as “rage from the [Democratic National Committee], excitement from the pro-life community, awe from the press.” He labeled the vote a “disaster for a sitting president.”

Terry recently qualified for next month’s Alaska caucus, but Kansas Democratic Party officials banned him from their state’s caucus. Terry told the Wichita Eagle he will go to court to challenge the Kansas decision. Kansas Democratic Party attorney Joe Sandler told the Wichita Eagle that Terry failed to meet two mandatory deadlines. In addition, Sandler said, Terry “is not a bona fide Democrat, as determined by his actions.”
