For 2.5 years now I've been coming first to dKos for my daily dose of anger; then to Eschaton, then Billmon, Smirking Chimp, Hullabaloo, Information Clearinghouse, etc., etc. As with the interminable meetings of our local Council for Peace & Justice, I came to realize that it's all one big circle-jerk; nothing really accomplished other than mutual masturbation. So, I returned to the Fayette County Democratic Women's Network for whom I had walked to register Democrats last year. Their new project is to walk all precincts before 2006 to update the county registered voter list which, like all voter lists, is deplorably out-of-date.
Our objectives are to update phone numbers and voting age residents at each address, and most importantly, to identify those who have liberal sympathies, those who are willing to volunteer or host yard signs, and those who will need absentee ballots or special assistance to vote; and registering those who are not or who have moved. We WILL be ready this time! It's grubby organizing work but that's what it will take to rescue our county and our state. If other counties throughout America will do the same, then we will take back America in 2006. It's grubby; it's boring but there is no other way.
