So, this is a relatively short diary.
You can contact me at pocket99s at gmail. See below for the 4 things I need from your email if you see yourself fitting the generalities and couple particulars I've described. Than we'll chat.
Basically I have an idea for a creative grassroots project. I believe the project is very cool and if done right might (or might not) generate a big enough impact on the election season to justify the energy spent on the project.
For a variety of reasons I am not going to describe it much, except in big generalities.
The goal of this diary is to find a few like-minded spirits with time and energy to be part of a small team.
Now comes the tricky part - how to entice people without saying what it is.
You need about a month of free time - and the window is TBD, but most likely beginning any time in the next two months or so.
You need to like driving a lot.
Good networking skills are helpful.
I am looking for one person who can contribute their reliable car and about 20,000 miles on it. Or two people who can contribute about 10,000 miles each. I'd do this in a heartbeat but my car is toward the end of its life. You don't need to have a car - once a car is secured I think a team of 3 is just about right.
This is a project in support of Barack Obama's candidacy for president.
Send me an email telling me:
- your name, your phone number, what city/state and when is your window to converse on the phone about this.
- when during the next several months you might have a 1 month or more window
- whether you have a car to contribute
- an overall sense of your life situation/time flexibility
I'll call you back (I'll be the one with the 406 number).
My goal is to find 2 people who have this kind of time/flexibility and are intrigued by this cryptic diary, and who have the same window. (I am keeping things on the DL for the time being.) People who have good senses of humor and are good car companions are preferred.
It is possible, I have no idea if this will happen, but I may find too many people interested, all of whom fit. If that is the case, I will find a way for everyone to be involved whether as part of the traveling team or as part of the base team. Assembling the traveling team is first.
Send me an email, we'll discuss the idea in detail, and then you can see if it's something you want to be a part of.
Don't beg me in comments below to tell you what the project is. I have specific reasons to keep it close to the vest for the time being.
Finally, I think I am going to post a comment with a link to this in open threads in the event this initial diary doesn't generate enough interest.
