It's a snowy weekend here in Tennessee, so I'm thankfully afforded some time to reflect on the events of the week. Obama wins Vermont & Texas (delegate win). Clinton takes Ohio & Rhode Island. There is very little change in the delegate gap between the two candidates.
The already inaccurate media narrative describing the relative chances of each candidate winning the nomination worsens.
Major superdelegates like Edwards, Richardson, and Gore remain silent as the Clinton campaign breaks all the rules relating to party discipline, party unity, and ethics. The Obama camp remains reticent to respond forcefully. Mississippi and Wyoming vote over the next four days. For Obama supporters, this weekend is about staying focused and taking charge of each and every daily news cycle.
With these challenges in mind, it's time to take action.
- DONATE: Make a donation at www.barackobama.com.
This is the single most effective, and easiest way to get more resources. Give til it hurts; taking our country back is worth it.
- CALL: If you know anyone in Wyoming or Mississippi, give them a call to remind them to GOTV in their states and to pull anyone else they can find along with them.
- E-mail: Blast e-mails to everyone in your address book. Travis Stark is leading the way for content:

- GOTV: The Obama website has extensive information on how to get involved in any of the upcoming primaries and caucuses. Following big wins in WY & MS over the next few days, we need heavy boots on the ground in each and every one of the remaining states. Every vote counts as increasing the margin of victory gives us more delegates.
- Superdelegates. Call all superdelegates in your state, from your local party all the way up to the Governor and your US Reps and Senators. Let them know that the Clinton campaign has decided to put themselves above our party. This is diametrically unacceptable behavior.
- CALL & E-mail: Edwards, Richardson, Gore, Pelosi, Reid, all the big dogs and give them the same message (see #5) and ask them to endorse Obama. It is time to lead.
Every little action, every little bit of help adds up. With a legion of millions, we can end this.
