One national, fifty states, DC, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. They just sent out the email at 10:00 EDT, so most people will not read it until later in the day on Thursday, but there are already several posts on the state pages that I saw. Check it out and post here to let me know what you think.
Here is the site. Here is part of the email:
We are pleased to write and let you know about an exciting new phase of the Edwards for President campaign. As we pass from summer into fall, election season kicks into high gear! Following his successful summer bus trips through Iowa and New Hampshire, Senator Edwards has pledged to hold 100 town hall meetings in New Hampshire. In Iowa, over 200 new local activists recently endorsed John Edwards. And here in Raleigh, we are launching a new tool for supporters and volunteers to come together and share your stories about why you support John Edwards for president and what you can do to help move him to victory!
Today, we are launching our campaign blog - an online discussion area for Edwards supporters like you (
http://blog.JohnEdwards2004.com). Each state and territory has its own blog page, just for the people in your state. There is also a national blog where you can chat with supporters from across the nation.
This is a great opportunity to organize with other volunteers for get-togethers like debate-watching parties, events when the Senator comes to a community near you, and road trips to states with early primaries. You can post your own stories from the campaign trail along with interesting articles from your local paper. Each state has a Volunteer Coordinator who will keep the discussion going and help you organize events.
