It always seems to involve joining or giving up an address or some other information etc. etc. What I'd like to see the Dems and "liberals" and leftists create is a process that simply involves one click, like so much else on the internet seems capable of creating. One click and a message is sent to either my Senator and Representative or to every Senator and Representative, or to the White House or to everyone in the administration etc. I know there are more voters who support liberal causes and leftist policy positions than there are the opposite, but they tend not to vote as enthusiastically (except for 2008), though if it were as easy as one click on the computer they may at least express their beliefs and where their support is in numbers that couldn't be ignored.Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-58261275591905327832010-11-08T07:47:14.781-05:002010-11-08T07:47:14.781-05:00Dad,

Jen is on the Obama email list (Organizing for America barackobama.com), which is pretty good about offering options for action. For example, 2 days before election day there was an email with a link to connect with a phone list in order to make some "get out the democratic vote" calls. However, there is not as much targeted repudiation of right wing lies as I would like to see. Your suggestion is sorely needed.Milesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-61861667066663265012010-11-08T03:11:18.495-05:002010-11-08T03:11:18.495-05:00The spin of media and politicians can seem so far ...The spin of media and politicians can seem so far from what the 'people' want, Michael.
