Oh this is not the usual , " Hey we have a meetup scheduled". That would be exciting but we do have some business that needs immediate attention and back up for Pajoly.
I need the help becasue Florida is too big and Sem Dem , Ole Hippie Chic and I found this out the hard way. This is our idea endorsed and encouraged by Navajo.
The Connect, Unite and Act Series is a great series that is right here on Daily Kos every day. This community is here for all sorts of things and we can do better as a State with boots on the ground.
The Marti wrote a diary about blue states helping out red states and actually we are all just States but engulfed in a sea of conservatism of extreme radical politics, corrupted to the core.
Howard Dean had a great message with the 50 state strategy. That works locally. We need our own progressive leadership in areas for our out of state progressives to actually start helping us out. I am open to any and all suggestions of division and anyone who wants to lead that territory. We can all come together annually or semi annually but the truth is we need to be in a war room setting of good food and ideas in different parts of the state. Please let us start with folks starting their groups. Shoot Navajo off a Kosmail and she will promote the group as I will as well. It takes just a few minutes to start a group like, North and Central Florida Kossacks... Any name giving an idea of location will do and just write a diary asking folks to join....It is actually fun to do.
Tallahassee, Miami, Orlando, Ocala, Gainesville, Titusville, Jacksonville and The Keys...East Coast, West Coast, Panhandle, and every area imagined to take this bunch of crooks on with support from doing away with Stupid laws and putting progressives up for election. WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR THIS STATE but one or two cannot do it. We need teams.
We already have media attention. They know who we are. We now have a civil rights activist lending their support to Florida and we have people in Blue States willing to help us. Now, we need to divide this state up and get some Kos leaders to set the places for different meetups and strategies. Are you saying, " Oh I am not a Kos Leader". Really, well maybe you are. All you have to be is willing to give up a little time for some meetups once in awhile. It really is not that hard...it is just that Florida is just that big.
It is like herding cats from a large demographic nightmare ... We also need people with knowledte of their own territories because like Texas, Florida is a whole other state. The Northern area is not like the Panandle . The Panhandle is not like the Keys and everything in between is unique in it's political makeup. The one common thread is that the Conservatives have a stronghold on the state, legislatively.
If you read this diary of Pajoly.....You know how important of an issue this is.
We have Nancy Jones with the Dream Defenders trying to work in that area.
We have Gulf Gal running from here to North Carolina doing much.
We have very smart progressives and really too many to mention.
We have a lot of good people , we just need some good organization to pull it together.
We have corruption on every ballot box in Florida and we are being smothered in Hot Tea by the King of the Tea party himself...Rick Scott.
One person can make a difference.. Just one. I will go on Winkk's and Justice's programs to promote any and all meetups and ideas you have. Shoot, I will rekick another show weekly if necessary.
We can change things here in Florida for the 90 for 90 to meetups coordinated all over the state.
What say you Floridians... We have Jeb down here. Wanna take this on because we live here and we need to quite the laughter from the world.
Please respond !!!!!!!
