I would like to start an open forum to discuss how we, diarists, can move forward in a unified force to help elect a Democrat in 2008.
I see many off the cuff diaries (my own included) promoting hand-wringing, and concentrating on what others (namely the GOP) are doing and saying.
I would like to try to open a dialog and form a concensus on how to move forward together - without attacking one another.
It's time to stop eating our own and do something.
What I am talking about is how do we organize things like emailing media outlets. I would love to see a concerted effort, when the media is not balancing the campaign coverages or not reporting pertainent information, to let them know our disapproval. This only works in numbers, and for numbers, we need to move as a body.
What I am talking about is a concerted and concentrated effort to email and circulate pro-Obama videos to get coverage of them, and anti-McCain videos to get equal coverage of them. If we move in unison, then there is little doubt that we can get attention for the issues that matter most to us.
I have seen a lot of fighting lately on Daily Kos. I am not sure if this is panic mode and the subsequent lashing out, or if this is plain and simple snobbery. None-the-less, we must now come together. This IS the most important election of my lifetime. It is important to me, to my children and my children's children. The COM (creepy old man) and the Barracuda must not be allowed anywhere near the White House.
I am not an organizer, but willing to put some hat on; I do not have a bounty of ideas; and I am not the most political savy person I know, but I am enthusiastic and determined.
Any Ideas on how we can start working together and then implementing them(oh, I am very good at implementation), I would welcome below.
