Building on our Strengths for Obama

This group is formed of people from states who have already been through their primaries or caucuses and want to help the ones who are heading into theirs. We concentrate on gathering and disseminating information in a timely fashion without overloading the target State's groups and provide a clearing house for those who want to go on the ground and be as effective as possible.

(MYBO) Grassroots Inaugural Ball 2009

By Mary R. Il. - Nov 24th, 2008 at 8:06 am EST

Also listed in: 10 groups

Hello MYBO people!

It's time for another update on the Grassroots Inaugural Ball 2009! Some of you would say past-due...

A number of people have been working very hard, and there is some big news to announce to you.
....

Where's it going to be? When's it going to be?

The date and location of the ball have been decided!

Our very first Grassroots Inaugural Ball 2009 will be on January 19, the night before the inauguration, at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center on Pennsylvania Avenue. That's right on the Inaugural Parade route, between the Capital and the White House. The plan is that after the Ball ends, people will be able to go right out in large groups and stake out space on the parade route, or over on the National Mall where there will be giant TVs -- a night vigil, awaiting the Inauguration. This is not only symbolic, but also practical, since 4 million people are expected to descend on Washington Tuesday morning to see the Inauguration. We'll have a head start. The space can accommodate around 2000 people, and we expect to sell out quickly.

(By the way, Monday night is a traditional inaugural ball night--we'll be one of many such events, and we're hoping we can get the President-elect and Mrs. Obama to drop by and greet the folks who worked so hard throughout the last 18 months.)
....

Sponsors and Underwriters

The only thing holding us back is making the deposit on the Reagan Building. We are still hoping for those among you who feel that you can to step forward and help sponsor the event. Your sponsorship assures us and everyone attending the ball of two things:

First, that we can make the $52,000 deposit on the Reagan Building. We are getting close, thanks to those who have stepped up to sponsor and underwrite the event (and we will get the list of underwriters and sponsors onto the website), but we need more of you to get us all the way there. To date, we have some $45,000 in pledged monies. Not bad! It's starting to come in too, now that... wait, that's for later.
Second, lower ticket prices. Every penny (those still exist, right?) of sponsor and underwriting money will go to one ultimate goal: bring the ticket prices for the event as low as we can.

Just to be 100% clear: a couple people have asked if non-sponsors will be able to purchase tickets, and the answer is yes! The whole point of sponsorship and underwriting is to make sure that a certain number of tickets will be able to be offered at a lower price in general sale.

What does your sponsorship get you again?

At the $2,000 level: 4 free tickets to the event, publicity space in our program and on the website, and a very special sponsor gift.

At the $1,000 level: 2 free tickets (Surprise! The holidays have come early! Yes, the is retroactive to those of you who have already sponsored. That was fun!), publicity space in our program and on the website, and a very special sponsor gift.

At the $500 level: 1 free ticket to the event (Yes, you, too!), publicity space in our program and on the website, and a very special sponsor gift.

Below $500 level: Pre-sale ticket access, mention in our program and on the website, and a sponsor gift.

Disclaimer: Your donation is not tax-deductible. We apologize, but it takes the IRS up to a year to review new non-profit applications, and they can always refuse you. Since we don't have the luxury of that kind of time, we've had to just proceed with non-profit status.

We'd also to thank Corinne Carson for spear-heading the "high-roller Obama donor" research project. Corinne and a group of MYBO volunteers have taken on the job of using public information on the largest Obama campaign donors to help us identify additional individuals to contact to solicit sponsorship help for our event. The team includes (and I hope I have missed no one) Deborah Burke, Georgina Osorio, Giovanni Sce, Jessie Bochert, Kim Roberts, Mark Habeeb, Marlene Smith, Mary Hicks, Maxine Sears, Pam Jarvis, and Vickie Togans.

If you can give some of your time to help us out on this, please reply to this email, and we'll get you in touch with Corinne and set-up. We need to get as much done as quickly as possible to help us get the sponsorship and underwriting in. The faster we can do this, the faster we can make our projections for total budget off-set from contributions, establish our ticket prices and get them up for sale for y'all.
You betcha'!

If you or someone, or a business or organization you know would like to be an underwriter?

We would be glad to offer our underwriters the opportunity for publicity during the event, including signage, a space named for themselves or their company or organization, distribution of informational materials, and prominent recognition of your underwriting in all Grassroots Ball publicity materials, in addition to publicity on our website.

We will work with each underwriter to develop a publicity package tailored to the level of your underwriting support and publicity needs.
....

And, la pièce de résistance! (It's okay, French is okay again, we're friends!)

When can we get onto the website?

Now! Just click on this link, or cut and paste the following url into your web browser address line: http://www.grassrootsballdc2009.com/

That means that for those of you who have sponsored, but hated the thought of ordering a bank wire transfer of funds (we don't blame you), PayPal is up and working!

For those of you who might be tempted once you are on the website, please, please do! It will be so greatly appreciated. We will know who you are from the PayPal documents emailed to us, but feel free to let us know so we can tell you how much we appreciate your donation on behalf of everyone, and then thank you again later, once the paperwork is forwarded to us.

Please be sure to register so that you can participate in the Forum as soon as it is up and running, too.

There is also a link to Change.gov, right in the comfort of our own website!

Adrienne Williams, our volunteer web manager, has put in a lot of time and effort to make this happen, along with Karen, who contributed the graphics. A big thank you to Adrienne and Karen!

Mary, Russell and I promise to get our photos and bios up on the About Us page, just as soon as we find a few spare moments!
....

Calling all graphic designers!

Please reply to this email if you can volunteer your skills to help us with:

a logo design competition (we have some criteria for the logo, logo-type and colors that we will share with you. The logo will be put out to everyone for their vote, but the Organizing Committee retains a majority vote!),
help with signage design for the event, program layout and design, buttons and bumper stickers, and
the coordination of logo-merchandising for us to offer as sponsor gifts and to make available to everyone for sale to further off-set the cost of the event. We have some MYBO volunteers offering their assistance and some contacts to give you.

For this last, we have to hit the ground running Monda to allow for order, production and delivery time.

Please submit samples of your work with your reply. Thank you!
....

One last thing...

Calling all singers, bands, folk, blues, and jazz artists!

Our very own first Grassroots Inaugural Ball 2009 wants to build the base of its ball entertainment on you. Our base was solid enough to get Obama elected, so... please reply to this email with samples of you performing (video, music file, etc.).

The Reagan Building space allows as a range of different venues, from the 600-seat amphitheater for larger performance and multi-media and image/video presentation -- like Meredith Wheeler's Bridge Project, and we are looking for additional submissions to run during the night -- to a dance floor with raised stage, the monumental amphitheater foyer, and several more intimate spaces for quieter cabaret-style performance and conversation.

We're getting started now reviewing submissions -- no promises made -- but we will listen/watch and get back to you as soon as we can.

We'll also be looking into some local artists and possibly some big names (don't get your hopes up too high now) for your enjoyment.
....

And now, we turn you over to the website: http://grassrootsballdc2009.com!

Thanks for all your interest, support, encouragement, help and your donations -- we are the ones we have been waiting for, and without you, this wouldn't be happening. We need you.

Yes We Can!

Now begins the work that must be done to turn our nation around.

I've met so many different people on here, and although our connection to each other was primary internet correspondence, we spent several months going through a process together. It was delightful, agonizing, frightening, frustrating, rewarding...but most of all, it was successful.

For any of you who read this before the site is dismantled and we go our separate ways...it was an honor to be part of this process with you. Millions of us working together, contributing what we could in terms of talent, money, and volunteer work. We built our "community" in less than two years. Imagine what we can do for President-elect Barack Hussein Obama in the next four. And imagine what we can do for our nation.

John McCain and the Politics of Hate

By ! Jim Chap - Oct 8th, 2008 at 9:32 pm EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

We are witnessing a new kind of politics exemplified in McCain's performance in both debates and of his followers. Today, one was arrested. Will John McCain take responsibility? No. He'll continue to lie, fabricate, distort and spread hatred. Obama is our only chance to slip through the crack before it closes.

McCain and his followers are setting a new standard for stupid and devious. Most of his campaign ads are negative. I guess that's the only thing he can do with a record like his. There was a time when I at least admired McCain. His sad legacy will not be that of a "Maverick Senator" but of a disturbed, angry man who has a score to settle but he's not sure with who.

It's time that America took the keys from this grumpy old man before he transfers his venom and lies to the world stage. When we took the keys from my Dad, he wasn't happy but it made the roads safer to drive on.

John McCain, I want your keys.

Today some Las Vegas supporters took to the streets to illustrate the difference between Barack Obama's Tax Plan and John McCain's Tax Plan using shopping carts! The full carts showed the extra groceries each family would be able to purchase each month with Obama. The empty cart represented what we will not get with John McCain.

A knowledgable coworker chimes in...

By Beth from ColoradObama - Sep 25th, 2008 at 5:56 pm EDT

After a little research I found out that this bail-out business was tried a couple of times in history. Hoover tried it and the banks went under a year later anyway, and we know what happened after that. Japan tried it twice to the same result except they didn’t go into a Great Depression. The other thing I found out is FDR bailed out individual home owners by letting them re-negotiate their loans to what they could afford and then made payments to the government. Obviously this worked well along with all the other programs in the package. I think this approach makes perfect sense. If people suddenly can afford their mortgages and don’t lose their homes, they now have money to spend. We need to put the floor back in the economy and not the ceiling. If Shrub wants to include his credit card constituents then let him, but we demand they forgo those usury rates and ill-gotten late fees. Then the same deal happens, consumers pay back the principle and reasonable interest. The new bankruptcy laws get scrapped. Developers, business mortgage lenders and whomever else wants in has to take a hike. There! We just fixed it! No reinvention of the wheel, we’ve done all this before with great success. Oh but wait… we have to remember the precious CEO’s. If their company went down, they pay back a percentage… say 80, of their retirement package. And from now on they make 141X the lowest paid worker. Incentive to pay people better. I realize that once someone gets in there and unravels all this mess it’s going to be really bad. But I certainly don’t want the ones who got us into this mess getting paid to “fix” it. And believe me, those demons are lining up to do it. TJ Hawk

Palin as VP? No Way!!!

By ! Jim Chap - Aug 30th, 2008 at 5:41 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

from our friends at moveon:

Huh?

Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background:

She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1
Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2
She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. 3
Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.4
She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.5
She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6
How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.7

This is information the American people need to see. Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends and family.

We also asked Alaska MoveOn members what the rest of us should know about their governor. The response was striking. Here's a sample:

She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK

She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK

As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK

Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK

She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK

I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK

So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced.

In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country.

In the next few days, many Americans will be wondering what McCain's vice-presidential choice means. Please pass this information along to your friends and family.

Thanks for all you do.

It's time to up the ante folks. McCain has established a considerable TV prescence in wisely selected time slots.

Hillary, I am sad to report, is privately "voicing her doubts" about Obama to her constituents in an attempt to

sabotage Obama so she can run again in 4 years.

Most polls are showing a statistical dead heat between McCain and Obama.

What to do?

Obama needs to establish a considerable presence both positive and responsive in all major media markets. He needs to respond to every utterance from McCain as well as televise a 'gaffe' reel.

Obama should meet with Hillary and call her to the carpet. Is she on the bus or off the bus.

He can spoil her 2012 run should she continue to undermine his efforts now.

This is not the Clinton party, it's the Democratic party.

He needs a bump in the polls and doing some of the above things should help establish his "ready to rule" image.

Times awastin and there is so much disinformation out there that needs to be shot down.

It needs to come from the Obama campaign and high visibility surrogates.

If some of this is negative, so be it. We need our man in the White House and as long as he plays fair, he'll get there.

Please urge the campaign to engage in more active combat with his 'straight talking' rival.

Time is running short.

Let's rock!!!
