If you're not yet familiar with our very own navajo-inspired Connect! Unite! Act! Diary series, then you need to be. It is, in my less-than-humble opinion, a big orange chunk of what this Daily Kos blog is about: Organizing at your state and local level.
And, what better place to Meet and Greet with your fellow state Kossacks to help build and organize your state's Orange Delegation than NN14 in Detroit? Sure, we can do that as easily Online, maybe, but there's something about attaching a face and voice to the Kos user name that changes the dynamic.
navajo has kicked some serious ass getting this Connect! Unite! Act! thing off the ground and running! The diary series - and local Events as a result of that series -
is a great starting point to get your Event off the ground! The annual Netroots Nation events can be the place to solidify those efforts, meet with those in your state getting
it done, and share Organizing tips to better our efforts. (and, if we could extend the annual NN event to local Quarterly events that would be even better, but that's for down the road).
So... I propose we do just that. Find a space - restaurant, hotel room, whatever - to Meet and Greet with NN14-goers from your state, share some Skittles and beer, and exchange Contact info so you can find each other once you get home and back here
on the Great Orange Satan. How do we find each other at NN14?
List your User Name and State in the Comments and I'll repost your name in the body of this Diary. If there's enough interest we can repost every few days. Wear a Name Tag with your state - MI or whatever - on the tag so others know you're from there.
Got other ideas? Post away in the comments! And, thank navajo for the hard work!

That's right, in case you haven't heard, thanks to navajo's efforts the great orange satan that is Daily Kos is making an attempt to organize your back yard. And, by "back yard" we're talkin' your County, Congressional District or CD Precinct via a Group on here called "Connect! Unite! Act!" I know! Whoda thunk?!

As some on here know, NY-21 is an Open Seat for 2014. Our congress critter is retiring.
Thing is, NY-21 congressional district is HUUGE! Damn near the size of Texas! Literally bigger than two states - Mass and Conn - combined! So, I'm breaking it down to where I live - the chunk I can deal with - and calling our group the "Jeff-Lewis NY Orange Action Group."
So, for those Kossacks that live in Jefferson County or Lewis County NY that wish to do more than sit on your hands this election cycle this is your Group. Please join!
If you do NOT live in Jeff-Lewis, NY - and Do Not yet have your own "Connect! Unite! Act!" Group what are you waiting for? Unless you live in Berkeley or the Bronx where you can sit out elections and Dems still are an automatic win you need to get in your local "Connect! Unite! Act!" Group! And, if there isn't one create one! Yes!
You can actually create a Group on here! Don't know how? Kos Mail my butt and I'll get you the create instructions.

I know it's hard to believe but yet another election cycle is upon us. 2014 is here!
We need 200,000 Dems, Libs and progressives to act as Precinct Leaders for every
political precinct from sea to shining sea. That's about two leaders for every precinct.
I believe we can get 100,000 leaders from this blog alone. A good place to start to get that done is navajo's "Connect! Unite! Act!" Group. First, join your local Group - or create one - and get it added to the "Connect! Unite! Act!" List. Contact navajo to add your Group to the List. From there it's just a matter of doing what that Group title suggests. How do we do that? Local MeetUps, then Regional MeetUps.
Simple as that. Show up at a local MeetUp - or set up your own.
Tired of sitting on your hands? Get in the game. We need to be in it to win it.
A big thanks to navajo for upping the game here! The Diva just flat out rocks!
