Organizing

Submitted June 25, 2008 - 4:55 pm by Tara Van Niman

I am excited about my house party.  It's up to 30 people and I just went in and bumped up the limit to 40.  What the hell.  We have a big deck and people can stand.  And an Obama fellow will be attending so I get to meet one in person.  It will also give me first dibs on hard to get swag.  And if by the end of all this, my entree in to community organizing has me approaching strangers on the phone or in person, we will know there has been a huge breakthrough as I dread that.

 

This whole thing with Hillary's debt makes me cranky.  It was completely irresponsible to go in to debt chasing a fairy tale and now the big funders refuse to get on board unless Obama  helps.  I guess that is politics but it's ugly.  Those folks could be giving to the DNC instead of paying of her debts.  The only good thing to say about it all is that at least she isn't seeking her own money back.

All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
