Welcome to this new e-group on barackobama.com for Washington state Obama delegates emerging from local precient caucus's on the path forward to the next round of caucus's. The following is my opinion about the administration of this e-group.

--------------------------------------------------

Sugest the new e-group have both a moderator on blog and moderator on listserver. a moderator has a duty to manualy approve each posting prior to electronic distribution commencing. It would also be great if you could find a third person for your mini-team. That third person would attempt to address the needs of Obama Delegates who do not have internet access. Fiftey percent of the general population of Washington stte does not have internet access. Obviously you can't try for one-on-one contact with these non-internet people. You would have to address them thru staged distribution. Encourage the people who have internet access to establish personal relationships with non-internet Obama delegates in their local precient, legislative district, county or social circle to relay information to/from your (our) e-group). next phase of caucus's is a team sport. The precient caucus was pretty much an "indivdiual" type of participation. For example: Suggest just a very general format for blog or e-mail content on the new e-group be enforced. For example: Request authors state explicityly...1) This information is relevant to L.D. caucus / County caucus preparation effort because of.........2) MEMBERS (by role) OF THE precient / l.d. / county caucus team who should pay particular attention are .....3) Content of this message is categorized as a) information only, b) action item stated, C) status update from field requested by such and such a date, 4) Author's contact information should be explicitly stated as barackobama.com screen name, e-mail addy, l.d. and precient location, and (optional) phone number.5) general media reference sources provided by hyperlink such as ....

If you are sick of "politics as usual", does that qualify you for a sick day from work to attend in-person rally Friday February 8 at Key Arena in Seattle?

For what it is worth, if you are unable to attend the Stand For Change rally with Senator Barack Obmaa in-person today, Friday February 8 at Key Arena ... then consider the following potential resource that might be of use:Live coverage of presidential candidates -
Thursday: Watch live coverage of Barack Obama on KING5.com, NWCN.com and NorthWest Cable News
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ok, ok I hear questions already "What exactly does that mean?" Hopefully the folks that run those commercial websites will clarify soon. It could mean a few brief mini-reports from time to time, or it could mean wall-to-wall coverage. The folks responsible for those commercial websites have not seen fit to clarify their intentions yet.Clearly the preferable option is to attend in-person. If you are sick of "Politics As Usual" does that qualify you to take a sick-day from work and attend the rally at Key Arena on Friday February 8?Best regards,

The following http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post_group/ObamaHQ/CCpH#comments is to a sub-thread titled "Hijacking the Thread, parts 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5". It contiains disturbing facts and plans for the mess in Iraq. This story is not yet in circulation in congress or the MainStream Media. I admire how Barack Obama starts with facts for his analysis before making a judgment.
