Introducing 100actions.com
Posted by on July 31, 2006 at 11:45 AM
This weekend we kicked-off the 100 days before Election Day 2006. Today we launch 100actions.com.
100actions.com has one goal: to help elect Democrats in November.
Each day, a new action will appear that will help make that happen. Some actions may be as simple as writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Others may be things like volunteering for a campaign, organizing people for an event, or mailing postcards with the Democratic agenda printed on them. Whatever the action, meaningful activism through Election Day helps Democrats in every race in the country -- from school board to U.S. Senate.
100actions.com will also provide you with the tools you can use to host and manage your own events, make effective phone calls to your voters, or help spread the word about the Democratic agenda. It also provides a place for you to connect with the volunteer coordinator for your state, who will be able to help you volunteer where your help is needed most.
Check it out, let us know what you think, and take action today!

Please someone tell me why those of us in Illinois should even bother? There's no Democratic party in Illinois. There's only a machine.
If I sign up at that site will anyone actually contact me?
Zofyne,
Please read this post by Matt Stoller over at MyDD first.
Had this infrastructure been focusing on winning for Democrats, we'd have a campaign ready to go based on the donut hole. It's not like we didn't know this was coming.
This machine is incredibly powerful, but it's vulnerable, and that's why DC is freaking out about the Lieberman challenge.
Then understand that while this "100 Actions" is coming from the Political Machine you can use the ideas to promote a Progressive Candidate.
As a citizen of the United States, never feel that you have to go alone with what the party puts forth. You have your beliefs, stand by those beliefs, and stand strongly.
It may very well be too late for November there in Illinois, but there is always next year.
If your beliefs do not align with the candidates from your state, then put your efforts with another candidate from another state. Contact the campaigns and tell them that you would like to work with from out of state.
I feel your pain, Zofyne, and come join us on the Open Thread...although it is throughly buried once again. But we are Progressives, we are determined and we would welcome your insight into what is occurring in Illinois.
Peace to you.
