I am tired of bitching and whining about Warren being chosen by Obama, and not doing anything about it. I am going to lose my mind if I don't find a more productive way to work against Warren than sitting on KOS arguing with progressives about whether queers qualify for the same rights (I know, I know, it's fucked up). I am not an organizer by nature, but you have to start somewhere.
So here it goes. I figured making a StopRickWarren blog is as good a place to start as any...
I am sending out the call here and now for like minded people who will not accept the tremendous insult LGBT and fair minded folks everywhere have been dealt by Obama's choice of Warren. Please help get StopRickWarren off the ground.
I encourage folks to leave any constructive idea that will advance the cause of getting Warren removed from the lineup in the comments of this diary or in the blog comments,
Here are a few of the ideas that come to my mind, and the blog could be used to organize.
*Start a petition drive
*Explore boycott potentials
*Letter and phone campaigns to interested parties and media
*Call every damn democrat in congress every day and tell them how dissapointed we are
*Inauguration protest and boycott planning if Warren is not removed
I know Kossacks are way more effective at this kind of stuff than I could ever dream of being. I sincerely hope a few of you will take this seriously and help get this off the ground.
Any takers? Any ideas? Any organizers out there who can run with this? Anyone know of someone else already running a better operation to get organized around this?
First and foremost, I need someone who can build and maintain the blogsite effectively (I suck at blogs and code) so we can get organized.
I have read enough in the comments of related diaries to know many will not agree with this. I only ask that you will try to understand why some of us feel we must do something.
