The Scene at HQ-The Scene for the Final Two Days

By Benjamin from New York, NY - Nov 3rd, 2008 at 12:49 am EST

Also listed in: 111 groups

HQ has been so busy co-ordinating all of our wonderful volunteers, the blog has taken a back seat. Here's a taste of what's been going on.

The volunteers and staff at Obama HQ New York are fired up. The excitement created by occasional special visitors (Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Peter Yarrow from Peter, Paul and Mary in the last few days) is but a brief spike before the volunteers are back to work calling voters in battleground states:

The street team is out there inspiring you to phonebank to help Get Out the Vote on Tuesday:

Back in quieter times we had a party for the HQ volunteers:

Come down and join the excitement here at HQ or at a phonebank near you, Monday and Tuesday; all day, both days.

JOIN LAST CALL FOR CHANGE Saturday and Sunday in NYC

By Benjamin from New York, NY - Oct 10th, 2008 at 5:12 pm EDT

Also listed in: 98 groups

This weekend we're holding phonebanks at campaign offices and other locations across New York so that Obama supporters can reach out to voters in swing states. No experience is needed to participate -- staff will give you all the resources you need to succeed. All you need to do is bring your cell phone. Nothing is more powerful than having undecided voters hear from ordinary folks about Barack and this campaign for change.

Endorsements P.R.

I sent this out to all my listserv's this morning in haste. I dropped the ball on the graphics, and I think I had a lousy couple of settings if you tried to print it.

Click "http://wnymathguy.com/PressReleaseOfEndorsements.html" to get a beautifully accurate reproduction of Rudi's original. It should also print ideally on one page for bulliten board postings straight out of your browser be it Internet Explorer or Firefox.

New York State Important Information Release…

The documents subsequently linked below should be redistributed to any Obama Supporter you know. The documents are the official rules for delegate selection and petitioning in New York State. This is vital to getting our favorite on the ticket for the primary race.

The first in the trio below has blank forms in its pages for delegate hopefuls to fill out and submit in their area post haste!

“The Guide to Becoming a Delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention is at

“Overview of Becoming a Delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention is at

and “A Fact Sheet about the 2008 Delegate Selection Plan” is at

http://www.geocities.com/wnymathguy/2008delegateFactSheet.pdf

I noticed this final version of the rules isn’t so long and lawyerly as the proposal was.

Enjoy and good luck to you.

Sincerely,

P.S. This information has been blogged on www.BarackObama.com groups as well as list-served to the same because of the vast number of people that don’t read both. Sorry if you receive duplication.

A potentially handy resource...

By WNYmathGuy - Sep 30th, 2007 at 2:26 am EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

If you are not a New York Group, or a group with New York residents, I sent this to you in error.

At the end of this past Spring I made a Yahoo!Group for New York Obama supporters.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NYforObama/

Perhaps you ask, "WHY ANOTHER GROUP!"

If you did ask that... The reason is because we have no place on any Obama group or page to store files for redistribution. I have created a PDF of the Delegate rules for New York State and stored it in the files section. Also their is no semi-static place to store important links to outside resources. This group has a links section that is very organize-able. When we post a link in a blog, it gets lost over time as new blogs post. It also has a database, and polls section which could be used to store the name and number of the senior organizer in your district, or the named and accepted delegate for each district.

All these features will make us more effective. The rest of the many features on that group will not. If you are a serious volunteer I urge you to try the group. I tried to make as many features available as I could without you needing a Yahoo! ID, but some may require you to sign in on Yahoo. If you do not have a Yahoo! account, they will let you have one for free, but you don't need to make a new email address to do that. You can just tell them during account creation that you already have an email account.

That's all for now

Ooh-Rah! for Barack!

A Presidential Race Issue Browser

By WNYmathGuy - Sep 14th, 2007 at 12:23 pm EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

Hello to all,

Quite some time ago I thought I would be a better Obama volunteer if I knew how Barack's position on the issues compared to the other candidates. I was swimming in information trying to do an objective comparison of our position compared to other candidates. They name their positions different so you can't line them up easily for side by side comparisons. I realized after reading some of the posts before the "Walk For Change" that I wasn't the only one with the desire to study the issues.

I completed this website about 1 day before the walk for change, but chose not to mention it because I felt the sense of urgency was leaving us. I feel the timing is right now to announce the "Issue Browser" that I made. It is a free Geocities page, I built it with information from each candidates website, but mistakes may have accidentially been introduced. Please, please feel free to tell me about any improvements or repairs that I should make to it.

I organized the issues by comparing the US Constitution as it relates to powers of the President and then SUBJECTIVELY slotted each candidates individual issue into one or more of the constitutional powers. Any input from Political Science type people would be really appreciated; I'm a math, finance, mechanical type of thinker, and I am aware their is a LOT that I don't know. I invite help from Communications type people too, as I sometimes don't get my message across clearly.

Please note that free Geocities pages are not allowed to link to anything else on the internet; links only point to files in the pages own directory. I forced in text strings of web sites so you could read them and type them in an address bar if intrested, but I can't make them linkable. I did before and Yahoo! closed down my site and deleted all the files.

Sincerely,

Michael E. Rupp
