My daughter, who is in her junior year in college applied for the state intern program, to be in a congressman office. Unfortunately, Oklahoma is all republican on the congressional level. While I don't know for a fact if that had any bearing on the selection process, I have to wonder if that was a reason why she wasn't selected. And I know that being her father I'm biased, but she is an outstanding student, and she has studied abroad. She studied in the Middle East for a summer in Amman, which tells me she has more of an understanding of the middle east than most of Oklahoma's congressional representatives. We are a poor family, she has to pay her own way for these things.
What frustrates me is the possiblillity that she is being barred from a great learning experience because she isn't republican. I wish america was more about freedom of ideas than a bipartisan state that we have become. I am not a man of influence or wealth, so there is no way I can give her an edge in. It shouldn't have to be that way and I wish it wasn't. Nicole would be a great person to be the leader of the future we need.
But I am sure that of the 4 people selected to be in this program, probably deserved it. So I bear them no ill will, but the level of bipartisanship in this country sometimes makes me wonder.
Hi everyone,
Nine people came together this afternoon to discuss the recovery plan, share our stories, and plan how to continue our local activities in support of the President. Thanks to everyone who attended, and for those who had to miss it...
The Obama organization is asking everyone to share their stories on how the economic crisis is affecting us. Here's how they describe this effort:
"Invite your guests to share their personal stories, particularly how they pertain to the current economic situation.
• How has the current economy affected your life?
• How is the recession affecting our community?
• What aspects of the current economic climate do we feel need to be addressed immediately?
• Why is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan important to you?
Then share your stories with us. You could create a video, write your stories, share pictures that tell your stories or call 1-888-64-CHANGE (1-888-642-4264) to tell your stories. We're counting on you to collect the real stories of how the economic crisis is affecting Americans. We'll make sure your stories are heard in order to continue to build support for the economic recovery plan."
As to local activities, we decided to do the following:
- spread the word about the need for the President's economic recovery plan
- support the philosophy to "buy local"
- expand our email communications, if we can get one or two volunteers to work on this
- implement a phone tree (Jay will set this up)
- coordinate with the local Democratic Committee (Ellen, chair)
- encourage the Selectboard to get a "shovel ready" stimulus plan project to the voters in March
Please see the economic recovery plan info below:

By Shailagh Murray and Matthew MoskWashington Post Staff WritersMonday, November 10, 2008; A02
CHICAGO -- Armed with millions of e-mail addresses and a political operation that harnessed the Internet like no campaign before it, Barack Obama will enter the White House with the opportunity to create the first truly "wired" presidency.
Obama aides and allies are preparing a major expansion of the White House communications operation, enabling them to reach out directly to the supporters they have collected over 21 months without having to go through the mainstream media.
Just as John F. Kennedy mastered television as a medium for taking his message to the public, Obama is poised to transform the art of political communication once again, said Joe Trippi, a Democratic strategist who first helped integrate the Internet into campaigning four years ago.
"He's going to be the first president to be connected in this way, directly, with millions of Americans," Trippi said.
The nucleus of that effort is an e-mail database of more than 10 million supporters. The list is considered so valuable that the Obama camp briefly offered it as collateral during a cash-flow crunch late in the campaign, though it wound up never needing the loan, senior aides said. At least 3.1 million people on the list donated money to Obama.
Millions more made up the volunteer corps that organized his enormous rallies, registered millions of voters and held countless gatherings to plug the senator to friends and neighbors. On Election Day, they served as the backbone of Obama's get-out-the-vote operation, reaching voters by phone and at the front door, serving coffee at polling stations and babysitting so parents could stand in line at voting precincts.
After Obama declared victory, his campaign sent a text message announcing that his supporters hadn't heard the last from the president-elect. Obama conveyed a similar message to his staff in a campaignwide conference call Wednesday, signaling that his election was the beginning, and not the culmination, of a political movement.
Accordingly, the president-elect's http://www.change.gov transition Web site features a blog and a suggestion form, signaling the kinds of direct and instantaneous interaction that the Obama administration will encourage, perhaps with an eye toward turning its following into the biggest special-interest group in Washington.
Once Obama is sworn in, those backers may be summoned to push reluctant members of Congress to support legislation, to offer feedback on initiatives and to enlist in administration-supported causes in local communities. Obama would also be positioned to ask his supporters to back his favored candidates with fundraising and turnout support in the 2010 midterm elections.
"There's this network of people now," said Martha Page, a neighborhood leader in Warren County, outside Cincinnati, where Obama managed to reduce a traditionally large Republican vote margin. Page received six calls Wednesday from volunteers looking for new assignments. "It's a sea change," she said.
People in technology circles have been musing for months about how Obama would use his list, said Peter Daou, who oversaw Internet operations for the Senate campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). "Once you have people connected through a network, you can't disconnect. It's like unbreaking an egg. People all across the country have formed these groups to support Obama. They've worked together for a successful purpose," Daou said. "You don't let go of that easily."
But Daou noted that the initiative could have a downside. Obama faced an intense backlash when he broke from the left on the issue of immunity for telecommunications companies that took part in the warrantless wiretapping program. "People who have helped you reach this historic goal by self-organizing can also organize in opposition to your policies," he said.
As part of the presidential transition, Obama officials are looking to add a significant "new media" component to the White House communications operation. The campaign employed 95 people in its Internet operation, building a user-friendly Web site that served as a platform for grass-roots activities and distributed statements, policy positions and footage of Obama events. The White House Web operation will follow a similar but probably more ambitious path, transition officials said.
The process is just beginning, and many questions remain unanswered. The simplest approach might be to convert the campaign organization into an incarnation aimed at 2012 and an anticipated run for reelection, but some inside the Obama team are concerned about appearing too overtly political. Another course could be to create a nonprofit organization. Obama officials said all options would be examined over the coming weeks.
Over the course of the campaign, Obama's e-mail list gathered not only names and contact information, but also details about issues important to those supporters.
In past years, such lists were considered useful tools for political campaigns but not particularly helpful for governing. But Peter Greenberger, manager of political advertising for Google, said such information could be a boon for Obama in building public support for policy proposals.
The White House could "geo-target" ads so they appear online in congressional districts where members remain undecided. Obama could use Internet ads to solicit signatures for petitions, or he could place display and video ads contextually -- so they would appear on the screen next to news coverage of his proposals.
"If there's an article in the New York Times or The Washington Post about health-care legislation," Greenberger said, "the administration or a pro-Obama advocacy organization could run an ad right alongside it."
Republicans have also seen the potential value in organizing online. In recent days, a small group of prominent young Republicans launched a Web site, http://www.rebuildtheparty.com, calling on their party's next chairman to use the Internet to organize and galvanize their grass roots.
"Online organizing is by far the most efficient way to transform our party structures to be able to compete against what is likely to be a $1 billion Obama re-election campaign in 2012," the Web site says.
Staff writer Alec MacGillis in Washington contributed to this report.
About 30 of us townspeople helped count the paper ballots tonight. Here are the results:
Obama 680 63%
McCain 406 37%
Total ballots 1114
Total registered voters about 1300
Total new voters today about 70
Total absentee ballots about 140
Turnout about 86%
These numbers are amazing! And this is in a town where, before today, there were 250 registered Democrats and 256 registered Republicans. Thanks to the volunteers and staffers for all your work! And thanks to the people of Westmoreland!

Also, posted are 8 steps to elect Obama/Biden that were shown at the Last Call to Action event on October 15, 2008 at the Apollo Grill in Easthampton, MA.
1%, or 1 vote out of 100There have been 12 Presidential elections that were decided by less than a 1% margin; meaning if less than 1% of the voters in certain states had changed their mind to the other candidate the outcome of the entire election would have been different. More than half were decided by less than a 2% margin.
In 2004, 57,787 votes would have given us President Kerry.In 2000, 269 votes would have given us President GoreIn 1996, 575,515 votes would have given us President Dole.

=========="Squeakers"Ned PotterABC NewsSeptember 29, 2008How close have Presidential elections been? Closer, perhaps, than we ever guessed. Mike Sheppard, a grad student in statistics at Michigan State, has done a mathematical exercise that shows it.He ran a computer program to answer this question: "What is the smallest number of total votes that need to be switched from one candidate to another, and from which states, to affect the outcome of the election?"The answer: in some years, very, very few. Take a look at his analysis HERE. It shows the powerful interaction between the popular vote and the electoral college.[...]==========

On Saturday, October 11th, our US Congressperson, Richard Neal is sponsoring buses from Springfield and Northampton to Western NH. The Neal campaign's message is below. To secure a seat on the October 11th bus, email Brendan Neal directly at brendanneal@hotmail.com with your name, address, and phone number.
"Dear fellow Obama Supporters- First of all good morning and I hope everything is going well. On Saturday, October 11th, Congressman Neal has been asked to head up to New Hampshire to help the Obama campaign. The Neal campaign is organizing people and buses to drive up to Keene, NH. We will be leaving @ 9AM from Springfield and Northampton. What we need you to do is send people our way who are interested in catching a ride. This will allow us to collect data and then use that data to determine the location, time, and feasibility of the buses. We have filled one bus as of this morning with college students and members of SEIU. We will also have at least another 25-30 Neal supporters traveling up there on this day as well. Congressman Neal is 'billing' this day as Western Massachusetts day in order to pump up some constituents and voters in the area. We would greatly appreciate any assistance in organizing this. The location of where to pick up volunteers will be determined once we find out where the majority of volunteers are coming from. Right now the important thing is to generate rsvp's and interest. Then we will order the buses. If this goes well, we will also be doing it the weekend before the election. Again, I hope everything is going well, and look forward to hearing from you. Brendan Neal"
This Friday, we'll reach another milestone in this campaign -- the first debate of the general election, on September 26th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. Millions of Americans will tune in to watch Barack debate John McCain about America's foreign policy and our role in the world. Barack will share his plan to bring the change we need -- to restore our place in the world, ensure security at home and abroad, and reestablish the United States as the world's economic leader. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the issues. And it's also a great opportunity for you to share Barack's message of change with your friends, family, and neighbors by attending or hosting a Debate Watch Party. Watch the debate with friends and supporters, and talk about how you can get involved in this movement. I recorded a brief message about these parties. Please take a moment to watch the video and sign up to attend or host a Debate Watch Party in your community. Many Americans are still learning about Barack and this movement for change. They don't know about his plan to restore the middle class, cut taxes for 95 percent of American families, provide health care for every American, achieve energy independence, improve our schools, and responsibly end the war in Iraq. Many people also don't know that John McCain has voted with George Bush more than 90 percent of the time -- including to continue Bush's failed Iraq policies, not investigating the government response to Katrina, not supporting children's health care, not supporting college benefits for returning veterans, and passing tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class. This debate is a chance for Americans to hear directly from Barack. And with just a few weeks left before Election Day, it's more important than ever that we bring people together and talk about the issues that matter in our communities. I hope you'll watch my short message and sign up to attend or even host a Debate Watch Party: http://my.barackobama.com/debate Thank you for all that you're doing, Michelle
The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has created a financial crisis as profound as any we have faced since the Great Depression. Congress and the President are debating a bailout of our financial institutions with a price tag of $700 billion or more in taxpayer dollars. We cannot underestimate our responsibility in taking such an enormous step. Whatever shape our recovery plan takes, it must be guided by core principles of fairness, balance, and responsibility to one another. Please sign on to show your support for an economic recovery plan based on the following:• No Golden Parachutes -- Taxpayer dollars should not be used to reward the irresponsible Wall Street executives who helmed this disaster.• Main Street, Not Just Wall Street -- Any bailout plan must include a payback strategy for taxpayers who are footing the bill and aid to innocent homeowners who are facing foreclosure.• Bipartisan Oversight -- The staggering amount of taxpayer money involved demands a bipartisan board to ensure accountability and oversight.Show your support and encourage your friends and family to join you: http://my.barackobama.com/ourplan The failed economic policies and the same corrupt culture that led us into this mess will not help get us out of it. We need to get to work immediately on reforming the broken government -- and the broken politics -- that allowed this crisis to happen in the first place. And we have to understand that a recovery package is just the beginning. We have a plan that will guarantee our long-term prosperity -- including tax cuts for 95 percent of families, an economic stimulus package that creates millions of new jobs and leads us towards energy independence, and health care that is affordable to every American. It won't be easy. The kind of change we're looking for never is. But if we work together and stand by these principles, we can get through this crisis and emerge a stronger nation. Thank you, Barack

REP. JAN SCHAKOWSKY AND NARAL PRESIDENT NANCY KEENAN TO DISCUSS OBAMA’S COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING FOR WOMENMANCHESTER -- Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D, IL-9) and NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan will be in New Hampshire this Saturday, September 20th to discuss the McCain-Palin record on choice and Senator Barack Obama’s commitment to protecting women’s rights with Granite State women in Keene, Peterborough, and Manchester.“The stakes of this year’s election could not be higher for New Hampshire women and their families,” said Sandra Abrevaya, New Hampshire Communications Director. “This November, Granite State women will make a critical choice between the Obama- Biden ticket, which will fight for women’s issues on all fronts, and the McCain- Palin ticket, which wants to overturn Roe. V. Wade.” Sen. Obama has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women’s rights under Roe v. Wade a priority as president. John McCain, on the other hand, received a 0% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood, and has declared his support for a constitutional amendment to ban all abortion, even in the cases of rape and incest. Rep. Schakowsky is a leading advocate for women's issues in Congress, sponsoring legislation that would prevent violence against immigrant women, establish transitional housing for women and children who are victims of abuse, and commemorate International Women's Day. During the 110th Congress, Rep. Schakowsky served as Democratic Vice Chair of the bipartisan Women's Caucus. Rep. Jan Schakowsky was elected to represent Illinois' 9th Congressional District on November 3, 1998, after serving for eight years in the Illinois State Assembly. She is in her fifth term.Nancy Keenan began her tenure as president of NARAL Pro-Choice America in December 2004. Under Nancy's leadership, NARAL Pro-Choice America launched Prevention First, a values-based initiative encouraging lawmakers to focus on commonsense ways to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion. A Montana native, Keenan began her career as a teacher before serving as a state legislator and the statewide elected superintendent of schools.Saturday, September 20th:10:00 a.m. Canvass Kickoff at the Keene Campaign for Change Field Office305 Park Avenue, Keene RSVP to attend at: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/officialevent/gs5hmf11:00 a.m. Forum on Women’s Issues at Keene State CollegeLloyd P.

Join us for the easiest form of campaign involvement I can think of and is the most fun! Honk and wave in Peterborough...a visibility event. Click the link above to learn more about this Saturday.
It's Women's Week in New Hampshire and we'll be having guest blogs by women all week and tomorrow's Women's Wednesday will be kicked off with a phone call from Jill Biden. Michelle Obama also sent out the following email asking women like you to join use for Women's Weekend of Action.
It's hard to believe there are less than 50 days before Election Day.That's not a lot of time. And since women voters could decide this election, we have to take this opportunity to talk to our friends and family about what's at stake.We've seen the power of women throughout this campaign -- educating each other about the issues and building this movement by sharing our personal stories.That's why, over the next few weeks, women all across New Hampshire will be reaching out to one another through special Women's Week of Action phonebanks and canvasses.On every issue important to women -- from access to healthcare and universal pre-school to equal pay for equal work -- Barack is the only candidate who can bring about the change we need.Join a Women's Week of Action event and let other women in your community know why you're supporting Barack.Barack was raised by a single mother and grandmother. He understands the tough choices that working women in this country face every single day -- because he lived it. And now, he and I are raising two young girls. They are the reason we're in this race -- to make the world a better place, full of opportunity, for them and for all of our children.I know that Barack and Joe Biden are a strong team for women and families across the country because they have the record and the commitment to prove it -- but it's up to supporters like you to help get this message of change out into your communities.Barack and Joe will pass tax cuts for 95 percent of American families, ensure that women get equal pay for the same jobs as men, put the needs of working and middle class families ahead of special interests, and change our broken school system so that every single child in this nation has a world-class education from pre-school through college.But they can't do it alone. This campaign is counting on us. If women come together to support Barack and Joe, we can bring about the change we need.Get started today by reaching out to other women in your community:http://nh.barackobama.com/NHwomenswoaThe future of women and all of our families is at stake in this election.Thank you so much for all that you do,MichelleP.S. -- Each Wednesday from now until Election Day, every New Hampshire Campaign for Change office will host a Women to Women Phonebank.
