Not so much a proper diary as it is a rant and some ideas.
I’m pissed, my wife is pissed, my dog is pissed! I live in TN-05 (Nashville) and today my Rep voted against the American people, voted against jobs, voted against his party, voted against everything that we have been fighting for the last 8 years. Jim Cooper simply has to go. Mr. Cooper who proudly wears the label of a "Blue Dog," does not represent the people of his district. TN-05 is a heavily democratic district that is one of the true blue strong holds of the state. Obama kicked McCain’s butt in this district, "English Only," was just defeated in this district, A moderate Democrat lost out in the Mayoral runoff to a more progressive candidate in this freaking city! So why do we have a blue dog representing us?
I would like to start a movement to get Jim Cooper primaried. It takes over a year to run for office if you are a fresh face. I think it is time we find someone to put up against Cooper. How do we get this moving? How do we start poking people to see if they are interested? How can I find out if someone is interested so I can jump behind them?
I am thinking of starting a website to build support for this primary movement. Is it a good idea? Are there any more TN-05 Kosiacks out there that think a movement could be worth the time? I’ve got some web skills and production / video editing experience. That is where my talents end, but I am willing to put my time into this movement cause Cooper has to go!
Ideas are welcomed. Sorry so short, but I got a diary a day and figured I would use it.
