I have been soooo busy this week.

This is only a local election year for us, but the grass roots progressive are getting it together. The plan is to dry run new strategies this year, then have them dialed in for the presidential election next year, so when it is all hitting the fan and we have volunteers coming out of the woodwork, we will know how to use them productively.

I am organizing non-partisan voter registration drives, but working with a coalition of groups instead of trying to do it all solo like I have in the past. Takes longer to work as a group short term, but long term we can do so much more. I went to a meeting last night that brought together most of the progressive spectrum in my city. Got to speak, too, although I hadn't realized until after I got there that there were going to be almost 100 people in attendance. Oh well, didn't have time to get nervous.

We are also looking at strategies to take advantage of the new Same Day Registration legislation that just passed the legislature.

I am so excited to see some real time and money being invested in my "red" state and happy to be part of the change that is bound to result :)
