Pt. 3-Eyewitness to History: A Volunteer’s Experience With the Obama Campaign

admin @ February 6, 2009 # No Comment Yet

Pt 3 - General Election 2008

There was no let up in the campaign after the Fellows Program ended. Quite the contrary. Iona, Dawn and Peter were hired as Field Organizers. We quickly began building upon the work we had done in the summer. Field Organizers were divided up into township areas for the general election. Andrew was assigned the Greater Media and Great Middletown teams. Peter was assigned to Chester and soon after the summer the Obama campaign opened an office in Chester. Dawn was assigned to greater Yeadon and Iona to greater Chadds Ford. Julie was assigned to Upper Darby and Jessi to Ardmore. The Ardmore office was the third to open. As the campaign moved on, Josh was hired for the Ridley area, Matt was hired to work with Andrew and Omari was hired to work with Peter in Chester. Offices were opened in Darby, Upper Darby and Ridley later in the campaign.

Let’s hear the names you have milling around in the back of your head - or candidates you’d like to see - or trial balloons you’d like to float - or solid “yes I am considerings…”, whether it’s Ron Paul, former NM Gov Gary Johnson, former Gov Jesse Ventura, Loretta Null, Steve Kubby, Gov Blagojevich (lol), Newt Gingrich, Cindy Sheehan, and an a wide array of other potentialities…Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin…et al.

It should make for an interesting pre ‘year - end - list - barrage’ of “best - of - nothings” that are the stock - in - trade of every publication. (other than this spec we promise we won’t do one)

We’ll come back to THIS topid on Dec 22 and have a gander.

Oct 23-Third Party Debate News Update

admin @ October 23, 2008 # One Comment

As reported by Free And Equal, the Nader Campaign, And the Constitution Party

other relevent sites to visit are www.breakthematrix.com and www.thirdpartydebate.com

As reported, ALL candidates have been invited, and one must ask about the absence of the “main candidates” in a system that a) considers itself a ‘democracy’, b) has the mainstream media not report this event whatsover, and c) fails to report on the reason that voter turnout, in the most basic understanding of math, ignores the essential majority that has no faith in the system at all to even bother registering a ballot. It’s not rocket science –in fact, it’s a cry from the people for something else. And a suspicious thing when 2 parties control access to information…

Iraq War Vets Plan Action to “Force the Issue”, Demand Face Time at Final Prez Debate

admin @ October 12, 2008 # One Comment

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y – Members and supporters of Iraqi Vets Against the War (IVAW) are planning to crash the third and final Presidential debate on Oct. 15 at Hofstra University if they are not permitted to address a question to both Sen.John McCain and Sen.Barack Obama.

Debate moderator, Bob Schieffer (CBS), has been sent a letter from event coordinator and IVAW member Matthias Chiroux. “I’m writing you today as a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War to make clear the details of a demonstration we will be leading Oct. 15th at Hofstra University prior to the final presidential debate and what our demands are and will be.”

The demands are simple. Chiroux continues, “We in IVAW demand that two of our members, myself and Kristofer Goldsmith, be permitted entry to the debate and be allowed to ask each candidate one question”

If the requests are not granted, and the IVAW fail to hear from campaign and debate coordinators by 7 pm EDT, IVAW members say that they are “are willing to risk arrest by entering the debate to have their voices heard by the candidates”
