I know this thing is just getting started, but we should eventually aim for the announcement of an action, then the announcement of another action BEFORE the deadline of the first, and then a third action more or less coinciding with the deadline of the first, etc. One action every other day, at least, once this gets rolling.
The previous action was announced on the 12th (Tues) with a Thurs deadline (14th) We should have another action ready when the deadline for one comes, even in the early stages, with not more than a day's delay. Maybe I am mistaken and it was much more difficult for the organizers of DUAC (DU Action Corps) to decide. But if we have two actions a week, the importance of each action becomes less, only that it not be something many of us oppose (as apparently is the case with opposing the imprisonment of Judith Miller eg). Even just a letter supporting an Amnesty International case on a Monday, something about the Supreme Creeps Tues, something about absolute poverty Weds, something about pseudo-free trade Thurs, and supporting an action comparable to the UFW on July 19 (that I recommended) Fri would be a week. Then the next week there would be something about voting and paper trails and institutionalized fraud and the opportunities for it one day, etc. At full throttle, all the issues would be covered, and there would be a great relief in finding an AI issue every week -- and just supporting that. Endorsements of other generally supported progressive actions also would take up many of the 'slots'.
In the short run, two actions a week is a good interim rate, before going full throttle.
