We're coming up to the deadline for submissions for the 9th Anniversary of Saturday Morning Garden Blogging Seeds of Change Local Election Fundraising Opportunity. Time is running out -- we need your submissions NOW so we have enough time to put it all together, make sure the links link and all that other good stuff -- if it ain't in the kosmail before tomorrow morning, you're too late.
Here’s our standard blurb:
It is a mid-term election year and now — during the subdued primary process — is our chance to get not just Democrats, but more progressive Democrats, into our state, county or municipal offices.
Call it planting the seeds for a harvest next November.
Many times newcomers to dKos can't quite figure out why we have all these groups for garden-ing and home repair and crafting and painting and books: this is a site for politics!
Let's show them why community matters: at the most basic level without community there is no purpose to politics and it becomes nothing more than a scrim behind which factions scramble in a zero-sum game for short-lived political advantage.
What we need from you:
• Candidate name and position sought for a municipal, county or state office (not Congress).
• Some background on the candidate and why you support them (and/or a statement from the candidate);
• Link to website for donations;
• Embed information for any graphic or photo you want included;
• Submission of information by Thursday, February 20, 2014
If you are able, please use ready-to-plug-in formatting so I or another editor can just cut and paste into the diary.
Kosmail your information to the group,
Saturday Morning Garden Blogging.
