Viral Organizing...Sounds Contageous
The internet has radically changed marketing techniques. Social networking sites are used to "sell" to networked communities in subtle ways. Howard Deen leveraged the internet to organize and motivatge activists and voters and Barak Obama has improved upon his start.
Party Builder is one tool in that arsenal as are My Space, Facebook, and other social networking sites. Our grassroots approach integrates cyber communication and organization with face-to-face VIRAL ORGANIZING AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL. Our goal is to organize groups of activists to register, organize, and mobilize their neighborhoods.
Any Democrat can organize a group and invite members. When the group reaches about 15 members and includes two activists willing to take a leadership role, the group splits in half and the process begins again. Simple but effective. Read More »

Looking into some of my area's local elections coming up has made me wonder as to why so many offices are partisan...
Why must there be decisiveness in local politics when it is completely unnecessary?

Others have experimented with social networking Web sites aimed at city residents without intending to make money. I-Neighbors.org is a site set up by Keith N. Hampton, a sociologist at Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, to study the role that Web sites can play in strengthening offline social ties.
Mr. Hampton said that I-Neighbors continues to grow, with 45,000 people now using the free service. He said, however, that people in apartment buildings generally do not pursue social connections with their neighbors.

I just got this e-mailed to me from the Florida Democratic Party. It concerns an announcement that will be made later today about the Florida primaries.
Dear Florida Democrat,
I'm writing to inform you of an announcement that your Florida Democratic Party will make today in Broward County, where there are more Democrats than anywhere else in the state.
After months of careful deliberations, your Party's leaders have chosen overwhelmingly to reaffirm our strong commitment to fully participating in the state-run Democratic Presidential Primary on January 29, 2008, despite the penalties from the Democratic National Committee.

I visited with congressman Todd Platts (R) PA 19th and spoke with him about my ideas of a National Water Bank system. Though I debated each hurdle he placed about the need of such a system he still insisted that it was a local, regional, state and private supplier concern. He acknowledged that the federal government has played parts in developing some water resources. He sited that there was no immediate market driven forces that indicated the need for such a system.

I visited Tucumcari and Clovis New Mexico recently with Brian Colon. It was a great trip and it was good to meet with the great people in those communities. It felt right at home.
I feel confident that this will be a successful campaign.
