A Good Day From The Big Ones
Well, it's a good day from the established online players. The Dean Campaign continues to tap my personal zeitgeist. Common Sense For A New Century. I remember ranting at my friends nearly a year ago about the need for a new Thomas Paine. I won't try and claim that this was my idea. I don't own my ideas, even if I suggest them to other people, which in this case I didn't. I'm just super glad this is happening.
Like many of you, I suffer a bit from MoveOn fatigue. What with them and true majority and all the others, I don't take the time to do all their little action alerts. However, their latest is worth hitting up. Not only will defeating it be a slap to Bush, but it's pretty damn important from a policy perspective too. It's a massive $800+ billion spending bill (hello... fiscal responsibility anyone?) which contains massive slabs of pork, re-implements FCC allowances for increased media consolidation that were recently rejected by congress, and slashes overtime pay requirements for nearly 8 million working families. Ayuh; send that damn email.
