So, here I am, at my new job, directing/field managing in the Boston Street office of Grassroots Campaigns, Inc., working on a campaign for the Democratic National Committee. The end goal of this is sweet: get the Democratic Party to switch from guzzling Corporate America's money spigot and move to a more sustainable, grassroots-derived,

I live in richmond, and my roommates and I might be able to do this. If this is a "key" area let me know, and I'll talk to them about it.

hey friend,

so I don't really know what the deal is still, and actually i have recieved some conflicting information -- it may be that they are going to put us up with MoveOn members regardless of whether or not we have friends or family in a given spot. so if that is the case, i may not really have the option of living on your futon, though i would much prefer that to anything else. STILL, though, bcause I would love to chill, I am going to ask for Austin. I have to give them a list, so the list is gonna be Austin, Portland, San Francisco. I'll let you know as soon as I do! thanks soooo much for offering me a little piece of y'alls space. I appreciate it tons.

misssin you
tim

cool shit.

Go to Austin, she has a futon and a dog. and a Rick and an Annie. These are all good incentives.

Tim. Can't offer a living space, only a "hey, that's a really fucking cool concept, bro"!.

So, I only wonder how this will work. And can laypeople get involved aside from their checkbooks?

How exactly does your organization plan to uproot such a long standing symbiotic relationship with weak, needy politicians and said evil oil power houses? I absolutely despise the internet because my questions seem to be purposely Devil's Advocate-esq. when in blunt text form, which is not how they are intended. I'm honestly just interested because it seems like such a cool idea, but the jaded, cynical, former idealist in me sees this as a utopian paradigm that we can wish for but is pure fantasy. :O(

Best of luck. If I find R&B in the A I'll let ya know.

[atreyurose]

R&B = room and board...just though I'd clear that up as I have been known to alert you to neat music in the southland from tiem to time.
