We're posting these here right? I hope so...
1. How did you participate in this election?
Volunteered for the Kerry/Edwards campaign. Donated and set up computers for the Media office in Delaware County PA.
Phonebanked
Canvassed
I was the Site-Manager on election day. I worked one of 3 sites in Delaware County to help deliver PA to John Kerry and John Edwards.
2. Is this the first time you participated in election activism?
Yes. Between the mistakes of Bush and my respect for Kerry. I was quite motivated to do my part.
3. How would you like to continue to stay involved? (Volunteering, phonebanking, fundraising, local organizing, etc.)
I want to keep organizing campaigns. I want to make PA blue from the school secretary up to the President.
This includes: Volunteering, phonebanking, fundraising, local organizing, etc
4. Did you feel the actions you took were effective?
Yes, for PA.
5. Was it a good experience for you?
It was GREAT experience, until Kerry conceded.
6. How would you make it better?
First: My candidate would win.
Second: More organized, more tightly tied into or coordinated with other groups. Clearer communication between the footsoldiers and the generals.
7. Please share other thoughts and comments you have about the 2004 election and what Democrats and the Democratic Party should do going forward.
As far as the election, I feel we won on our points, we won on the Iraq war, we won on terror, we won on the direction of the country, we on the economy, on jobs. We just got out-flanked, we aimed right for the bank and they came at us from the side with the Gay Marriage Amdmnt.
As for what to do now? Two words: KEEP FIGHTING!!
BE THE OPPOSITION PARTY, IT'S MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAT EVER! THE REPUBLICANS ARE NEVER CONCILIATORY WITH US, WHY SHOULD WE BE AGREEABLE WITH THEM?
IF WE MOVE ANYMORE TO THE CENTER, WE'LL BE ANOTHER RIGHT WING PARTY. FORGET IT!!! IT'S TIME WE STOOD OUR GROUND! THIS LINE HERE AND NO FURTHER! JUST BECAUSE THEY WON DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE CORRECT!!
BE THE OPPOSITION!! FIGHT!!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!!
Furthermore, Terry, you've been great, but it's time to go. Also, SCHRUM MUST NEVER EVER WORK ANOTHER CAMPAIGN AGAIN!!! (Unless it's for a Republican)
