I am pretty certain there were some earlier instances where the President's wife acted on his behalf during illness or decline into death. Sorry I can't come up with names right now. Tired. I um, agreed to be chair of our local Dem caucus. Yikes.

Good morning, Annie. I am told that Woodrow Wilson's wife acted in his behalf during his time of incompetency. That's great news, your being chair of the Dem Caucus. What state are you in? What is the size of your caucus?
Thank you, Richard. I'm in Vermont, and I live in a small town, c 4000 population. I referred to the group as a caucus, but this being New England, we organize things in terms of meetings organized by towns, then a county committee made up of delegates from the towns, then a state committee made up of delegates from the county meetings plus some at large members.
Our town committee has perhaps a dozen people at this point, with more we know weren't able to be there. That's up from 7 last session, in a meeting that met twice.: one to organize, the other to select someone to recommend a replacement for a vacated Justice of the Peace position. People organized events, but basically it was a dead committee. We've got a bunch of new folks, and I'm thrilled. Nervous, too. I hope I can serve them well.
Annie, here in Florida we are able to get records on voters so we know how they are registered and what their contact information is. We are reaching out to Democrats for a number of reasons. What we learned here is that the Democrats are afraid to "come out of the closet." They don't know that their neighbors (and sometime their friends) are also Democrats. So, we organize these get-togethers to introduce Democrats to one another. They all agree that life is much better when they know who is a Democrat. So, we start these out simply as socials so that they can "get to know who your Democratic neighbors are." There is no doubt that many will be surprised. And, life is better with this knowledge.
