Support DNC Party-Building!
So now stories have come out about Rahm Emmanuel and Chuck Schumer getting all riled up about Dean and the DNC "poorly managing" its resources because it is funding field organizers in ALL 50 states.
Enough people are so royally P.O.'d with the horrid R's that there will be plenty of bucks in the campaign ocffers in this cycle. The DNC is FINALLY doing what it is damn well supposed to be doing: listening to us activists out here in the grassroots and building this party in ALL 50 states. Is that not the whole point of being a "national" party, something we simply have not been for too long now? We can not and WILL NOT win big if we keep trying to rely on a 20-state strategy.
That is NOT being a NATIONAL party!! So I urge ALL Dems to please support Dean and the DNC who are FINALLY taking the long-term view to build this party EVERYWHERE for the long haul and not just limiting ourselves to "targeted" races here and there. We've had enough of that crap, and it has been an abject failure of a strategy. I'm proud of the hard work our DNC field organizers are doing up here in rural Maine in conjunction with our state and local parties, and it's damn well paying off! Please contact the DNC and express your support of their
50-state strategy, and also contact Emmanuel and Schumer and/or the DSCC and DCCC and tell them to understand that we MUST be a 50-state party and to please work better with Dean and the DNC. WE CAN NOT AFFORD INFIGHTING! The R's are ready for a thrashing in November, but it will happen only if we STAND TOGETHER!! - Thanks All!

1. I agree, generally, but answer for me this one question ........
What, **specifically**, is the 'plan' to deal with voting machine cheating?

Talk of broad plans won't answer my question, posed to not only the DNC, but to Schumer and Emmanual and Reid and Pelosi and all the candidates .........

***What*** ***SPECIFICALLY*** ****is*** ***the*** ***plan*** ***to*** ***deal*** ***with*** ***voting*** ***machine*** ***cheating?***

2. Have you gone to FairVote.Org? See Rep. Rush Holt's work.
Yes, the voting machine problems and other vote shenanigans are a real problem. search on FairVote, and organization dedicated to reforming electronic voting. Also note New Jersey Rep. Rush Holt's tireless work on this very issue. Also, the DNC has as part of it's agenda fair voting and paper trails for voting machines. So there lot's being done, and MUCH more will be done if we can in there with the power to do something legislatively. It's also very much a state issue, so getting involved at the state/local level with your state/local Dem Party is critical. Remember the old saying: "Don't merely identify problems. Work to solve them."
