The last Roll Call was done in March, and I was set to do the next installment next week, on the first of June. But since we are experiencing high traffic right now, and since I think we are all in need of a little diversion, I am posting it early.
The Daily Kos Roll Call is a diary that is posted every three months or so, and it is exactly what it sounds like. A Roll Call. Much like when you were in high school, and your homeroom teacher was calling out your name at the beginning of the day to see if you were absent or not, that is what this is.
It is a chance for us to learn about our fellow Kossacks. And hopefully this diary can be used as a resource to organize meetups, campaigns, and the like. A resource to discover Kossacks perhaps in your neighborhood.
So, I ask that you post a comment symbolizing you saying "Here," like in your high school class. And when you post a comment, it would be great if you can include the following information, but it is totally optional on your part:
- Daily Kos Username
- Age
- Gender
- State of Residence
- College Attended or Graduated From
- Occupation
- Your self described political ideology (Liberal, Conservative, Moderate/Centrist, Radical Green, Independent, Libertarian, Progressive, Communist, Socialist, etc.)
- Your preferred 2008 Presidential Candidate (please list only announced candidates. Gore, Feingold and Clark are not running).
- Your registered political party (if any)
and, since this is the Capitulation Edition of the Roll Call, I will include two more criteria:
- Your level of rage at the moment: blinding, incapacitating, or crippling
- The number of Congressional offices you have called in the last few days.
Finally, if you post a comment, could you also recommend the diary so that every Kossack possible can participate. Thanks ever so much.
Oh yes, and vote in the Poll, but don't complain about what region I put your state in....
