I've posted several diaries about the Generation Election PAC (http://www.generationelection.org). If you don't remember what it is, please go to the website (http://www.generationelection.org) and read our mission statement.

All of you have been so helpful before. You've volunteered ... you've contributed $2 and gotten a free thinkBLUE2008 band (go to http://www.generationelection.org to contribute NOW) ... and now we need your help again.

We are in the process of forming committees all around the country for GEPAC. We want their to be an infrastructure for GEPAC in every state and every major city, so we can effectively help our candidates and activists no matter where they may be.

So, do you want to be on one of these committees?

This is how it will be structured: Read More

Last month, I got the idea to start a PAC that would help young people get involved in the political process.

It was a basic idea. But, since I am 17 years old, I knew it would be pretty difficult to get the thing off the ground.

When I told Stephen Yellin (who used to write for DailyKos as "MrLiberal") about my idea, he suggested the name for it: Generation Election.

In the three weeks or so since I first talked to Stephen, a lot has happened. Generation Election (GEPAC) has turned from an idea into a real organization (thought not yet officially a PAC ... we still need a treasurer), with real volunteers, a real website (its getting there ...) and real goals for the future.

If you are not yet familiar with GEPAC, here is our Mission Statement:

Yesterday, in a dKos diary, it was brought to my attention that John Dean had stated in the Los Angeles Times that we were close to discovering the identity of Deep Throat.

I, like many people, have always been curious about Deep Throat's identity. I've read Leonard Garment's book, "In Search of Deep Throat" and that only made me more interested.

From reading Garment's book, reading articles on the internet, and looking at clues I have assembled a list of people I think may be Deep Throat.

But I need your help. This list could be shortened (or possibly verified) if anyone here knows anything about the health of any of these suspects.

I'm on it now, and will be liveblogging it from now on. Their e-mail says, "We'll have Roger Hickey from the Campaign for America's Future, Duncan Black of Atrios, and representatives from the Center for American Progress. We'll debunk the State of the Union, discuss SocialSecurity and the messaging behind it, and answer questions."

I have posted about a new political action commitee I, along with former DailyKos contributor Stephen Yellin, am starting up. We are both seventeen years old, but we truly believe that this is an important and worthy cause, and we are dedicated to seeing it through.

Earlier tonight, Stephen's diary was mostly ignored. Perhaps it was a product of bad timing, as MrLiberal was once one of DailyKos's most popualr bloggers.

So, for those of you who missed it, here is Stephen's article, co-written by myself, reproduced for your enjoyment: Read More

After November 2, I was pissed at the world. I am seventeen years old and had put long hours working for a local candidate (who won), but my heartbreak was caused by the national election. I couldn't believe it. For a few weeks, I didn't do anything about it. But sometime in December I got an idea that would do more than vent my anger and frustration ... it was my hope that my new idea would actually make a difference, and help to insure that there would never be another day like November 2, 2004 again.

The idea, though I didn't have the name at the timem, was the Generation Election Political Action Committee. Right now, myself, along with former Daily Kos poster and political expert Stephen Yellin (MrLiberal of dKos fame), are formulating an exciting plan to get Generation Election up and running in the next few weeeks,in time to make a difference in the states, like New Jersey and Virginia, that have elections in November 2005.

You are no doubt wondering what Generation Election (called GEPAC) is. This is our Mission Statement: Read More

I believe that Howard Dean will make a great Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. In fact, I think he will revolutionize what the Chairman's purpose is, and act as a model for future Chairmen and women.

I recently started an online shop for DEAN FOR DNC apparel at CafePress.com (http://www.cafepress.com/deanfordnc). I have priced everything between $0 and $1 over the minimum price, and will donate ALL of the profits to either Democracy for America or the Democratic National Committee (see poll).

Just a few minutes ago, on Inside Politics with Judy Woodruff, Woodruff said that aides of Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack have said he would be willing to consider the Chairmanship of the DNC if it would perserve Iowa's status as the first in the nation caucus state as well as enable him to project a stronger message for the DNC.

Well, personally, I don't want Vilsack becoming Chairman just so he can protect the Iowa Caucuses. If he gets the job, he should be DNC Chair first, Iowa citizen second. Read More

On Election Night, Democratic challenger Hubert Vo had a 110 vote lead over 22 year incumbent Republican Talmadge Heflin in their state rep district in Houston.

After some very questionable counts of provisional and absentee ballots, Vo led by only 31 votes.

But, though Vo is the clear winner, it is not over.

Republican Speaker of the House Tom Craddick gave a warning that "Hubert Vo will never be a member of my House."

Craddick also issued an ultimatum to Tom DeLay's attorney, Andy Taylor: "Don't come back without Heflin." Read More
