A couple of weeks back, Kossak VolvoDrivingLiberal posted a diaryannouncing the formation of AtlantaKos.
He also set up a Yahoo Group, which is open to interested Kossaks. Easy to join!
Here are some reasons to sign up, if you haven't already:
- To quote our organizer: "Our intent is to hold monthly or quarterly social events at local watering holes featuring local progressive politicians, candidates, activists, and officials as guest speakers. The first event will be held at Manuel's Tavern in Poncey Highlands in late March or early April."
- Did you see the part about "watering holes" and "guest speakers"?
- There's a lot going on in Georgia politics right now, with plenty of fodder for discussion:
-- Next year's Senate race
-- The future plans of Mayor Shirley Franklin (do I hear Dem Cabinet position?)
-- The changing of the guard at the State Democratic Party
-- How is Rep. Hank Johnson doing? And what is Cynthia McKinney up to?
- How can Atlanta progressives help in the 2008 Presidential race? Can we swing Georgia blue this time, or should we plan on spending next summer working in New Mexico, Michigan, or Missouri?
- What has been your favorite "Fuck the Southern Fucktards" dKos diary of the past year?
- Does VolvoDrivingLiberal really drive a Volvo? Pat208: he or she? Will Cynthia McKinney show up to berate us for supporting Hank?
- Whatever you want to talk about! Please post your agenda items below.
We hope you'll join the rest of us Atlanta-area progressives for some Kossak-style strategery and socializery!
