I started this diary as a comment on Muskegon Critics' diary to "STFU". There is a lot I agree with in there but that hasn’t moved the discussion forward much. I’ve approached this diary in a few different ways as my emotions have gone through the extremes while reading the comments. In the end, I decided to focus on the how saving the auto industry is good for the country or how we can’t afford to not to.

We are already having people reporting problems with voting. I thought it might be useful to have diary for people who have experienced problems, intimidation or suppression to post their experiences and ask for help or other solutions.

Here are some resources after the fold:

OK...So the cat's not on fire! But take 30 Seconds to Digg the articles below! Really, if you follow the tips on how to do it quickly it will take less than a minute!

This is your one-stop Buzz and Digg shop. I will be posting this diary everyday. Please subscribe if you would like a reminder. I won't post anything to this user name except "Our Daily Digg" so no worries about getting some cracked tinfoil hat diary.

Buzz and Digg are two very important tools for spreading the word about election issues and letting the MSM what the masses regard as interesting and noteworthy (i.e., if they think a lot of people are interested in a subject, they will cover it). They do track this stuff! For example, Buzz is a Yahoo product that tells yahoo what news the public deems interesting.

We need to start getting serious about our Diggs and Buzzes. Some of the best articles that are referenced in the most rec'd diaries only have 20 - 30 Diggs!

Sorry for the shameless use of Dengre's name (but he did say I could Digg his stuff)...

Buzz and Digg are two very important tools for spreading the word about election issues and letting the MSM know what the most important issues are in the campaign (i.e., if they think a lot of people are interested in a subject, they will cover it). They do track this stuff! We need to start getting serious about our Diggs. Some of the best articles that are referenced in the most rec'd diaries only have 20 - 30 Diggs!

I am attempting to consolidate Digg and Buzz links from Diaries around DKos. For the most part it will be reference material only--this is unless there is substantial investigative journalism in the piece (see Dengre's Diaries below).

Please take a few minutes everyday to digg and buzz. If you don't know about Digg and Buzz, you can find additional info about how very important they are here, here, and here.

Several diaries have been written lately about the importance of Digg, Reddit, Buzz and other popular news aggregators. You can find them here, here, and here.

This diary is an attempt to make our Diggs and Buzz a one-stop shop for getting it done. Everyday I will present articles and diaries to be dugg and buzzed up. If I have missed an article or a diary which anyone thinks in important, please leave a link in the comments. For the most part, I will be digging and buzzing reference material only--this is unless there is substantial investigative journalism in the piece (See I will add those diggs and buzzes to the following day's list. Also, if you are a TU or a diarist and have good reference material in your diary, please add the digg or buzz tag to your tags. Any one of Dengre's diaries would be an excellent example of what I mean (Dengre--can I Digg and Buzz your diaries?)

There are a lot of great articles and videos mentioned everyday on DKos. Sometimes there is a Digg link and sometimes there is not. I am writing this diary as a one-stop shopping for Diggs and Buzz. If you do not have a digg account you can go here to get one. It is as easy as registering and Digging the stories which we want the world to see. You can find Buzz here. If you are unfamiliar with the importance of Digg, Buzz and other such services, please read Junkyard Dem's diary concerning their importance.

It's hard to admit this here, but I'm a political virgin. At 44, I've watched a few presidents come and go and I've always done my patriotic duty to vote in each election (big and small). But for me, this was the ultimate in supporting a campaign. And even in 2004, as mad as I was about what GWB was doing to our country, I never left the comfort of the voting booth to make sure that GWB was never elected again. But this time it's different.

I started getting a little fire in my belly when I began to read "Effect Measure". It's a scientific blog that sprinkles in some politics from time to time. At first, I was outraged about how GWB's polices effected the things that concerned me most--cronyism in the CDC, EPA and FDA. They were policies that effected our food supply and health policy. Every once in a while he would talk about DemFromCT and I would take a brief spin around DKos.
