2. Here's how:
I intend to register new voters, and keep organizing for my party at the precinct, township, county and state level. I intend to seek out qualified candidates for office, and help them gain the funding they need to run a race. I intend to continue educating my fellow citizens. What I do NOT intend to do is waste even one more minute in bitterness and recrimination against my party, it's candidates or members.

3. Ditto!
I've been thinking about this all day, and my plan of action is to get out there and start working from the local level up.

4. Amen
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 04:56 PM by rabid_nerd
RECRUIT DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES for Township supervisor, borough council, auditor, dog catcher, mayor, whatever, NOW.

Not Green, not third party.

I'm talking as a Red-area minority DEM. Not a majority area DEM.

On the front lines in PA or OH outside the cities we need to get local NOW and have EVERY MUNICIPAL RACE FOUGHT IN 2005.

I WANT THE GREEN CHAIR HERE TO RUN AS A DEM AND TAKE OUR STRAIGHT PARTY VOTERS.

We're nearing an agreement, I think. He came close as a Green two years ago, he WILL WIN with our straight ticket voters.

It's not about what letter is by your name or what word is on your registration.

It's about who's IN OFFICE.

5. Get rid of BBV
There wasn't time before this election, but now there is. We must contact our state reps and make sure out state dumps those damned machines. See if we can sue Diebold and put the MFer out of business.

6. We decided last night to reorganize our local Democratic Party
For the last 10 years the local Democratic Party in our town has been non-existent. We have a President....who never holds meetings, the Secretary has been in jail for 5 years...we never had a Treasurer because we never had any money, and all of the precinct seats (14 seats, one for each precinct) are vacant and have been for over 5 years. A group of us that have been working on the Kerry campaign decided that we are reorganizing the local party. We are going to meet with the current President and ask him to resign. If he doesn't, we are going to start a petition to have him removed. We want to run progressive candidates in local elections, starting next year. Wish us luck!

7. Contribute
to as many senatorial or house campaigns that I am able to afford - no matter what state - as long as they are a democrat or an independent.

8. We could start by fighting FOX news.
They are at the top of the list of propagandists and liars. A boycott would go a long way. Remember what we did to Sinclair?
