"With this in mind, the two General Discussion forums have been re-named. The "General Discussion: Help and Support" forum is for those people who are looking for help and support. If you feel sad, or if you are the type of person who thinks that we're all in this together, then that is the forum for you. But if you are feeling very angry about the election, or if you are feeling like pointing fingers and placing blame, you should post in the other GD forum, the "General Discussion: Fighting and Acrimony" forum."
I have another JOB INTERVIEW!!!!
I was settled in nicely watching The West Wing, at 9:15 when the phone rang. I nearly answered with " Oh, thank God he's not dead.".
Turns out it was a manager from the MA Dept. of Insurance wanting to set up an interview for a job I applied for a few weeks ago.
I know...9:15PM! I learned a while ago that the employees of this state work very, very hard, long hours, for moderate paychecks and almost no respect from the citizens. They really deserve more.
But it's a JOB!!!! Wish me luck on Monday afternoon, OK?
If I don't get back to getting up and going to work in the morning, and being productive and EARNING A PAYCHECK I may jump off a cliff. I sometimes get the feeling that my cats may just chase me over that cliff if I don't get out of their way pretty soon.
Obviously another "1000+ post" DU member with too much damn time on his hands.
I think it is series!

| Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 From: Eli Pariser, MoveOn PAC Subject: Because of you, there is hope. Dear MoveOn member, We'll admit to being heartbroken by the outcome of yesterday's election. It's a dark day. But this afternoon, we received this email:
Eli, In light of what happened yesterday, my friend and I have decided to get personally involved. He wants to run for Congress in 2006, and I'm his campaign manager at this point. Do you know of a good information source for how we handle the legalities of forming a campaign, opening bank accounts, registering with the FEC, etc? Thanks, We have suffered a defeat, but we are not defeated. And our heartache does not diminish our pride in what you've done. We're proud about Wisconsin, where MoveOn volunteers turned out over 27,000 voters and Kerry won by only 11,813 votes. And New Hampshire, a former Bush state where we turned out 9,820 of the people on our list and Kerry won by 9,171 votes. Other groups were working with us in both states, but it's clear volunteers were at least partly responsible for the margin of victory. We're proud about Ken Salazar, the newest Senator from Colorado, whose campaign was fueled by the donations of thousands of MoveOn members. We're proud that before he conceded this morning, John Kerry called to thank all of you for what we did to help his campaign. Most of all, we are so proud of all of you, the MoveOn members who worked so hard and gave so much to take back America. Yesterday, over 70,000 of us worked from before 5am Eastern to 8pm Pacific, getting voters to the polls. At 4:50am in Florida, we heard from our lead organizers that hundreds of precinct leaders had checked in and were on their way to the polls. In Columbus, with three hours to go, we sent out a final message saying "It's not too late! Help volunteer." Within minutes, two dozen people came running up the stairs in the rain, wanting to know, "What can we do? Put us to work!" One volunteer whose car broke down ran home, grabbed her bike, and biked from house to house in the thunderstorm, knocking on doors and reminding people to vote. That you put so much into this effort makes the loss more painful in some ways. But the fact that so many of us were involved offers true hope for the future of democracy. In the campaign to defeat George Bush, you have proven that real Americans can have a voice in American politics. In the months and years to come, that revelation will change everything. Although George Bush won by 3% nationally, we must remember that 55.4 million Americans stood with you and with John Kerry. You are certainly not alone. And a healthy environment, a strong and fair economy, good schools, domestic safety and the end of the war in Iraq are goals we all share -- red states and blue states alike. Our journey toward a progressive America has always been bigger than George Bush. The current leg is just beginning -- we're still learning how to build a citizen-based politics together. But it's a journey our nation has been on for a long time. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "The arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice." Today, we'll take a breath. Tomorrow, we'll keep moving toward the America we know is possible. Sincerely, |
