already... have you contributed to Dr Phooj's campaign coffers yet? I agree we must help rebuild the party from the ground up. As for the media... i think WE have to BE the media. Start pamphleteering, flyering, editing your own interviews on your Mac, use your public access station, volunteer at your local college radio station, LTTEs, etc. And as always, write your congresspeople, use your voice... actively participate inselecting the best candidate in the primaries, work towards getting your guy elected, etc. What i'm concerned with is that everyone i know is working 2 jobs and barely making ends meet... we are active but our children and families come first. I've taken my 4 year old to more protests/marches this year than i had been on in all previous years combined... and yet still there is so much more i feel i could have done with only like 10 hours a week to set aside for activism. Maybe we should work on an activist -benefactor network?

BTW, thank you Bright... i always enjoy your posts. This one got me to thinking more about the upcoming months and what is to be done. I hope we at DU can really come up with a "plan" of action... so that we can work as a group and full force. I liked what i saw with the Alito debacle with everyone at DU coming together to act... harnessing that energy for the powers of Good would be cool. But we'd need a good "plan" first... one that can involve EVERYONE.

Anyway, peace out... maybe some more thoughts later...
