I recently wrote you all to ask about the caucus process, as I work on the 9th and I wanted to see if I could show up later and take part in the process.
As I am a new resident to the state of Washington, I had some very valid questions and concerns that I wanted answered.
To date, (8 Feb) you have not bothered to respond.
This is irritating in that:
a) it's quite rude
b) To a new resident unfamilar with the caucus process, it's more than slightly insulting
c) unlike the Washington State GOP, which is allocating 51% of their delegates to the caucus and 49% to the primary election on 19 Feb, you are allocating 100% of your delegates in the caucus. Which effectively nukes the opinion or vote of anyone who can't make it to the primary.
As such, it looks more and more that I will be waiting until the 19th and casting a vote for Ron Paul. He may not be my primary choice, (at this time I'd prefer to vote for Obama), but at least if I vote for Paul, I know that my vote on the 19th will be taken into account, unlike a meaningless vote that you will not take into account because it's not a caucus vote.
