One Day at a Time folks - With your help we can and will do this!!!
One step at a time.

I can’t help but feel the same emptiness and anxiety over the results of the 2004 presidency as many of you currently feel. It will be hard to swallow our pride and move on – but that is exactly what we need to do. We need to show that we will not give up and that being liberal doesn’t mean “pussy footing” around on the issues (for lack of better word).

We need to make sure we build up our forces from the ground up. We need to make sure we live by and work by our values - such as funding and supporting our liberal and democratic schools, make sure that our environmental policies are safe and sound and develop think tanks to support and develop processes and issues to sustain our political beliefs. Most importantly we need to make sure that people recognize our values as being American again.

I’ll say it again and again that I believe the best place to develop and receive democratic voters is schools, through education and through technology. The internet is the most democratic tool in existence so we must continue to use it and grow upon it.

With that said I believe the internet is a tool totally under-utilized even through the great advances and consolidation of 2004. We need to make sure that as a group we can have liberal and middle man channels in existence without the necessity of “old habits”. The internet can be utilized for broadcast media, streaming media, web, mail, and many ways of communications - we have the knowledge to make it work.

Thus I am asking for your support. I would like to speak to people who are interested in funding, working on or helping out with starting new upstarts to help the democratic agenda. If you are interested in discussing what types of businesses that can be created to spread liberal & progressive values as well as uniting ourselves and the world then I would love to hear from you.

Small Ideas:

* Hosting Datacenter – Build a blogosphere that is organized supporting liberal & progressive ideology

* Search Engine – Focus on arts, history, education – It can be done and much more affordably then you think!

* Think Tanks – Develop industry think tanks that analyze environmental, geo-political, social and historical events, values, ideals, processes and happenings. I know lots of schools do this, but we need a commercial grounding. This will help leverage democratic/liberal companies in deciding and moving towards a more US based economy, green environment and whatever else these think tanks can put on there agenda.

* PR – create a PRNewswire type service that gets linked into the mainstream and supports pushing information down through papers, web sites and other media.

We have to shift – we have to accept the service economy and we have to adapt. If we don't act NOW the internet as a liberal media is as much ours to loose aas this election was. Lets make sure we adopt and take charge of the only un-controlled media channel there is and lets make it happen like its 1999 all over again but based on sounds, tried and true ideas.

So please, I ask for your emails, I ask for your support and I ask for your time in developing our service industry, our grass roots efforts and our media empire so we can make the next 4 years the most organized outreach to America we have ever seen.

Let so america the thinkers we are, lets show america the workers we are and lets show america that we are united through our ideals, our skills, our passion and our love for the nation and the people we can be.

The time to idle and complain is NOT RIGHT NOW!

Thanks,
Byron Milller
