My Fellow Ohioans. It's time to team up.

[ck4829]

I want to form a political coalition to oppose the Far Right, Rod Parsley, the Ohio Restoration Project, Ken Blackwell, and more.

I haven't come up with a name yet, but all are welcome if they want to fight these figures that I have mentioned.

Who's in?

4. I'm in

although I don't know how much help I will be.

I am leaving for active duty Army in a week, so I must leave Ohio behind.

I don't know wether I should be happy or sad about that one!

8. *Update*

I have decided to call this Coalition, the Ohio Protection Project.

Is that good?

I also used to know where some free forums are, but I can't find it now.

How about we use this time to invite Progressive Ohio groups to come together, I think this needs to be a grassroots campaign.

9. Hi,

There is a website that is about helping grassroots organizers find people (and visa versa). It's called the Democracy Cell Project and they have people in 20 states already including yours. It's grassroots organizing online with boots to the ground locally. Please come join there, in the forum http://www.democracycellproject.net and post your groups there as well.

your fellow Ohioan at dailykos and those who responded to him/her...

RON Chances Fading & I'm Mad As Hell About It!

We're getting clobbered here in Ohio. Anti-RON ads are running everywhere, the only press coverage is negative, there aren't nearly enough yard signs or bumper stickers.

Where is the urgency? Where is the passion? Where the HELL is the NETROOTS SUPPORT? Reform Ohio Now needs a massive influx of donations during these critical last two weeks, or we're just going to get overwhelmed.

Kossacks, remember what this means! If RON fails here, do you think there will be any momentum for electoral reform elsewhere? What's the point of getting redistricting reform on the ballot in Florida if we can't muster support for it here? The story in the media won't be that Reform Ohio was underfunded, it will be that even Ohio's level of corruption has no impact on the voters, and that netroots support means nothing.

Help save Reform Ohio now! Donate, write LTEs, post diaries here and elsewhere! There's only two weeks left!
