Clinton Campaign Pleads for Attorneys to Attend TX Caucuses

Really?  And not lawyers with any specialty in say, constitutional law or anything.

Here is the email via Politico:


Dear Fellow Lawyer for Hillary,

As many of you know, this Saturday, March 29th, close to three hundred County and State Senate conventions will take place across the State of Texas. These conventions are very important because they are the next major event, after the March 4th Presidential Primary and Precinct Conventions, that will determine how many delegates Hillary will receive from Texas leading in the DNC Convention this August.

The campaign's goal is to have an attorney present at each of the convention sites this Saturday. Many of you have graciously volunteered your time in so many ways and some have already committed to assisting us on Saturday. We still need a few more lawyers, however, so if you can help Saturday that would be GREATLY appreciated. For those of you who will be travelling from out-of-state, if would be fantastic if you could arrive by Friday morning because many of the County and Senate District CREDENTIALS Committees will meet at least once, probably more often, before Saturday. Indeed, some committees have already begun meeting and we expect many Committees will meet on Friday. Whenever you can show up before Saturday morning, however, you?ll be welcomed with open arms and a big thanks!

If you can help on Saturday, please contact Martha Smiley immediately at Marthasmil@aol.com or at 512-413-3866. Martha has been extraordinary in heading up our TX lawyers/advocates effort. Our Texas political team and Martha will be working on where best to deploy lawyers, but if you are able to fly/drive into Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, or Midland, you will be effectively deployed to a convention site within that general geographic area. If you have friends who live in any of the bordering states who can help, please let Martha know as we?ll need coverage in some areas that are not as accessible by air. I have copied Martha on this email.

Many, many thanks again for everything you have done, and will continue to do, to elect Hillary the next President of the United States.
