National Organizing Kickoff

Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Posted by on November 16, 2005 at 10:15 AM

We're working on putting together a nice little compilation of photos and reports from last nights National Organizing Kick-Off. You might remember Sue from Lubbock, Texas reporting in shortly before her event was to begin:

My guests are coming over in two hours. I have the all the host materials downloaded. I've been to Kinkos to copy a handout of the power point presentation. I've got the name tags ready to go and a sign up sheet. I also have voter registration materials for people who need to register. I have five Democracy Bond packets printed out and ready. I have my computer set up to enter volunteer information online. A friend is bringing over a laptop and projector for the power point presentation. I expect to have 15 people, maybe more.

It was great to see her in the comments afterward giving an update on how successful her event was. Even better was the sense of inspiration in her words -- something certainly duplicated at event after event throughout all fifty states, sixty college campuses, and twenty countries abroad yesterday evening:

[W]e expected 15 but we had a total of 34 people! I'm very encouraged about the strength of the Democratic Party in this conservative stronghold... The conference call with Gov. Dean was inspiring to the nth degree.

Use this as an open thread.
