Wednesday: Oregon delegates - and alternates - get floor time

A great day at the convention!

Oregon works very hard at getting the alternate delegates down on the convention floor. How do we do this? Well, it is a little like musical chairs in that there are half as many chairs on the floor as there are delegates and alternate delegates, so how does everyone get seated? The red badges are allowed on the floor representing delegate status. The blue badges indicate alternate delegate status, so the person with the delegate/red badge leaves the floor, goes to the alternate section, exchanges a red badge for the blue of an alternate. This method offers everyone participation.

The true story of an American hero, a Navy Seal, was projected on the screen. He sacrificed his own life to save the lives of fellow servicemen. I don't believe there was a dry eye in the building. Personally, I thought of our grandson who is in the Navy, so I called him and left a simple message on his cell phone, "I love you."

Until tomorrow.
