Dear Diary,
Boy, we sure talk a lot lately.
It has been proposed a few times that we need to set up a separate section for breaking news. This is a good idea, and I would like to add to that. If we can set up a new section for Breaking News, it would also be cool to have a section for Action Items. This would be things like "Email Harry Reid with your support" or "Sign this online petition" or "Call Your Reps about this" or "Hang this banner up on an overpass" or whatever.
Read more, and help me contribute to the ousting of a-hole!
That is not my sign, but I'm making one right now.
For what it's worth, my 'Quagmire Accomplished' sign is in produciton. I recommend newsprint and poster paint. Cheap. What day shall we all do it?
In the meantime, I urge you all to bring it to our attention when their is something we can take action on, besides the usual volunteering for/contributing to a campaign. Some of us live in places that preclude of from doing some of that. Or, we are out of money. Or we are saving it for the general election.
Put ACTION ITEM: in your diary entry headline.
Like me, see... I live in Cheyenne, the capitol of Wyoming. The largest city in the state at 50,000 souls. A Republican stronghold that I am not afraid to lay seige to, and I am doing so. (I moved here from Chi-town in '93.) I tried to volunteer for Clark and Dean, but nobody cares about my little state of 250,000.
However, I-25 and I-80 intesect in Cheyenne, making it the largest crossroad in the country. It's hell-a hard to get from one side of the country to the other (on land) without passing through. That's why the overpass sign idea is cool to me.
Anyway, I am getting off the subject. If any of you cool folks can get me involved in one of the campaigns from here in windy-ass Wyoming, please let me know.
