Barack's Sister Explains the Hawaii Democratic Caucus

Going to a caucus can be intimidating for the uninitiated. For those dedicated folks at the Democratic Party of Hawaii who are organizing the caucuses, it is a complicated process.  They are planning more than 200 precinct meetings for the same night at 66 locations across the state. Although past events have drawn no more than a few thousand people, this event promises to be different.  The excitement of the campaign, the heavy media coverage and Barack Obama's native-son status will draw thousands of new Democrats into the process.

For those of us who will attend - the process is much simpler.  If you show up at the right location before 7:00 pm on Tuesday, February 19, you will get to cast your vote for Barack Obama.

Barack's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, has created a short video to help explain the process.  If it's your first caucus, please take a few minutes to watch this video, and find your caucus location at the link below.
