The Week That Was In The Collapse Of The Republican Party Sat May 17, 2008

The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee meet April 5.

That's only two days off, but there is still time to let the powers that be know that not counting the votes in FL and MI will not stand.

If you have not already done so please sign Hillary's petition, Florida and Michigan Deserve to be Heard!

It also wouldn't hurt to call your Representatives to let them know how you feel about counting every vote.

The idea for this came from here...

I expanded on the idea by going ahead with an ActBlue page.

We The People - the $6.06 page

by Kevin

Democratic National Committee

Make a donation now to show the Democratic Party that they are OUR party and not the "corporate" party.

A donation of $6.06 was suggested as a token amount to show the party that we are here and we are watching. Give more if you can but make sure you add the .06 to whatever amount you choose to give.

Everyone please take the time to read and react to this blog at MyDD.com

Fighting Only Half the Battle: Are Democrats turning out Republican votes?

...

I doubt anyone looked at who contacted those "Security Moms" that swung the election and how they ended up voting, but I would guess that a good number of them were contacted personally by one progressive group or another and encouraged to vote. This should, according the the literature on voting habits, have increased voting amongst this group by at least 10%. But- what if this group was turned out to vote by Dems, but convinced, through TV ads or, more likely, through personal contact from Republican operatives to vote for George W. Bush? Well, you'd prob. get something that looked like... the 2004 Presidential election.
