I'm sitting in the Northern Virginia office and I can tell you that the Obama campaign has in less than a week built an organization that is doing more voter contact per day than any other Democratic campaign in Fairfax County.

In order to ensure that we not only win the state, but win with a significant delegate advantage I wanted to pass along the following email that I received a few minutes ago. Please do all you can.

Today I discovered something on Facebook that may have been around for a while but is new to me (and I spend way too much time there so I'm thinking it may be brand new).

You can pledge your vote for any presidential candidate and facebook (if you allow) will forward your information to the campaign so they can put you in their supporter list. THIS IS HUGE!

As a campaign staffer I can tell you nothing is more valuable then building that list of supporters (I'd rather get 10 valid IDs than a $100 donation any day of the week). Not just because it makes everyone feel good, but each ID'd supporter is one less person that a volunteer has to call, one less door to knock, one less person to mail "persuasion mail" to, etc... In short, it saves tons of time and money.

It doesn't matter how good your Get Out The Vote operation without a good list of supporters. Let's help the Obama campaign build their list so we can take our country back!

Cross-posted from Students for Barack Obama Blog

We all know that the Democratic party is the "big tent" party and the party of inclusiveness. I am proud to say that Senator Obama has once again taken the lead on a great Democratic issue and has made his campaign videos accessible to a greater amount of Americans than any current or former Presidential campaign.

I apologize in advance for the long post but I could find no more concise way to explain the importance and significance of what Grant is doing. I hope you will take three-five minutes to read this post

As you may know we have two primary goals here at Next Generation Democrats (NGD); supporting young progressive candidates and more importantly, assisting young staffers trying to get a start in progressive politics.

This was not a diary I intended on writing. However, after posting a comment on mcjoan's front page diary Republicans Love Torture there were a few replies suggesting that I write a diary on this subject.

I won't go into detail about what happened other than to say, family members of mine were tortured in Chile in the 1970's at the hands of criminals trained by the CIA. In fact, when Abu Gharib happened, the CIA involvement (or other US Intelligence agencies) was obvious after reading descriptions of what occurred as many of the exact same techniques were used in Chile as in Iraq.

This diary has no real added value, and I'll probably delete it in a few hours.

That being said, I'm rather curious who reads DKos at 5:30 AM (EST). Also use the comments to tell us which poll option you picked, how old you are (to see if there is any correlation) and where your at (east/west coast, plains, midwest etc...) to see if it's early birds in the east, or night owls out west.

Thanks and have fun!

UPDATE: So I realized my most obvious mistake. It's Sunday, not too many people are going to check option two, which was my "early bird by default" option, oops, f'ed that one up.

I just sent this e-mail out to my personal circle of friends and family using the fundraising tool on my.barackobama.com. But I also wanted to post it here as well because I feel like DKos really is a community that I belong to, and one that I should be turning to help for with this project.

I know straight up blatant asks for money are taboo (remember, I've been here since before Paul Hackett, good times), but if you take the time to read the e-mail you'll see my story, and why it is that I support Senator Obama.

I hope you take the time to read the lengthy message, and feel free to leave tips for future e-mails I write.

I'm writing today to solicit a donation from you. But today, I'm not asking for money for a political campaign or cause. I'm requesting that you contribute money to the Hokies Standing Strong Fund so that we can help our brothers and sisters in Blacksburg heal.

The travesty that occurred this past Monday was senseless and unfathomable. As a student at George Mason and a former student of the University of Virginia I can tell you that both campuses are deeply saddened by what transpired, and that we stand in solidarity as Hokies.

Students for Barack Obama the official student outreach branch of the Barack Obama for President Campaign has come to the Commonwealth.

As many of you know, Barack Obama Visited GMU to host a rally organized by Students for Barack Obama. Building on that momentum, SFBO have appointed a State Director for Virginia and have started chapters in three school and hope to expand to 15 schools by April 15th.

It just so happens that I am the Virginia State Director for Students for Barack Obama and am very excited to have been given this opportunity to help win the Commonwealth for Senator Obama not in the early primary (Virginia will most likely be early-mid February) but also in the general election as Virginia will be a battle ground state for the first time in a generation.

Developing, diary to be updated as more info comes in.

According to Politico.com

The Nevada State Democratic Party is pulling out of a presidential debate scheduled for Aug. 14 in Reno, according to Democratic insiders.

The debate was being hosted by Fox News Channel and Fox News Radio, the Nevada State Democratic Party and the Western Majority Project.

Democratic activists have protested that Fox is not a suitable partner for the event.

[update]I just called the Nevada Democratic Party and the person who answers the phone says it's still on, trying to track this down with higher level sources.

[update #2]Huffpo confirms! It's OFF.

It might be a Faux Pas to write about yourself, but Marc Fisher of the Washington Post just wrote a great article, Grass Roots in a Virginia Basement about an organization that I am Executive Director of, Next Generation Democrats, and a candidate, Morris Meyer, that we are working with and I wanted to share it with my fellow Kossacks.
