Rayne Today: Americans for Change at SalonAn independent, grassroots blog reflecting the migration from campaign to movement as volunteers work to take back the presidency, take back Congress, take on Big Media, and take on Corporate Special Interests.18 weeks- April 30, 2005 18 weeks -- give or take a week. Less than five months. I was just asked if I'd be willing to work on a key committee at state party level. I'll be able to get the ear of the party at national level. It took 18 weeks. You don't like where the party is going You don't like where this country is headed Don't let them take you without a fight. I'm not; I'm going to kick, scream, claw my way back to the country in which I once lived as a free woman. What the sam-fook are you..http://blogs.salon.com/0001549/categories/screamingForDeanInMichigan/2005/04/30.html#a1834 Wanna' buy a billboard in Texas- April 21, 2005 "Ownership Society", my eye. As a shareholder I'd rather own something other than Tom DeLay's ugly mug. I sure hope anyone who still thinks that phasing out Social Security for personal accounts is a good thing realizes that this is where their investment would end up: buying golf for Tom DeLay instead of in their pocket as a dividend check. Anyhow...consider buying a billboard in Texas. Your fellow Americans picked this billboard out of 20,000 options -- and the folks in Texas picked.http://blogs.salon.com/0001549/categories/screamingForDeanInMichigan/2005/04/21.html#a1825 Seeing red- April 19, 2005 It's been the law since 1963 and yet women still earn only 76 cents to every dollar that men earn. It definitely sucks. Wear red today to make the point.http://blogs.salon.com/0001549/categories/screamingForDeanInMichigan/2005/04/19.html#a1823 Another nudge- April 5, 2005 Hey. Couch-potato activist. Yeah, you. The one who's never been to a Meetup or worked a phonebank, the one who donates money on line. We need you. And how. And NOW. I'm completely freaked out, I could really use your support if you were in my locale. I've been asked several times in the last month if I want to run for office. Whaaaa I'm going to have to develop a better answer than that, but in the mean time, it'd be great if you were here because they might be asking you.http://blogs.salon.com/0001549/categories/screamingForDeanInMichigan/2005/04/04.html#a1808 |
