Blog Florida Blue
This all started out on a conference call with some bloggers and the Florida Democratic Party. Our very own meowmissy had gotten this ball rolling. She posted this diary here on Dkos inviting the Florida Democratic Party to Meet the Netroots activists in Florida.
For our part, the Netroots has been encouraging people to get more involved in local and state politics as well as focusing on strategies to get more Democrats into elected office.
Our dialogue could be expanded if we were able to get together outside the virtual world and meet in the real one.
So, let's set a date.
According to the Florida Democratic Party's online calendar, the state Democratic Convention is being held October 26-28. How about we meet there?
It would be great if the Netroots could put together a panel on blogging so that we can educate both the Party and the candidates on who we are, what we do, and how we can work together to help Democrats get elected.
So in brainstorming how to get this thing going, several of us were on this conference call with members of the FDP staff. We decided to hold a bloggers and netroots luncheon at the FDP's annual Jefferson Jackson Day dinner in June. During the course of this conversation, the words Blog Florida Blue were adopted as sort of an unofficial brand for our efforts.
Any good brand deserves an equally good logo. So the call went out across Florida for people to come up with their own ideas for a Blog Florida Blue logo. Now it is time to wrap this thing up so that we can have a logo selected in time to use at the FDP Convention in October. If anybody has a way to get sort of a bemused, but upright donkey overlooking a keyboard looking effect with the words Blog Florida Blue, it would warm the cockels of my heart. But that is by no means the only acceptable concept for the logo. Any and all submissions will be put up for vote.
Please send any submission as a Jpeg or GIF file attachment to gatordem at verizon dot net.
Thanks and stay tuned for the online vote.
