Folks, I have GREAT NEWS! Also...gave more to Kerry today

[PretzelWarrior]

I guess I keep myself open in their books as a viable "giver" by not giving the max. $2000 right away. I just keep giving $50 here and there through http://www.johnkerry.com Anyway, I signed up as a volunteer for our area headquarters in PORTLAND OREGON!

Why do I bold that location? Because I am friggin' STOKED after last week when I found out Portland became one of the first cities to have a local affiliate of the AirAmerica Radio Network. It is seriously bitchin' folks.

Do you realize how fun it is to hear Ed Schulz and realize some hayseed dittohead is gonna tune into his show for a few minutes thinking they are listening to the head of political vomit only to realize they heard some real truth.

Garafalo, the morning crew (they are on for the mornings for us anyway), Al Franken, Randi Rhodes....I now know what Nirvana feels like.

So....I believe we have this thing won. Hearing Howard Dean out there on the radio shows...hearing Jerry Springer redirecting his efforts to electing John Kerry and a Dem Senator in Ohio....Oh...it feels good.

Isn't it amazin what some unity can bring us over on the left?

P.S. I also hear William Pitt on that other guy's radio show. I have no idea who that guy is...but he covers media issues...well, William you did a nice job. However, you should have had the presence of mind to correct him when he said truthout.com instead of .org at the end of the segment. But no biggie. It is great to hear our views getting play for a wider group.

I can't believe how Al Franken was gonna lose it when the mother of his childhood friend was on the show talking about how she can't believe COulter would say Liberals hate America. He's passionate, and I hope he's around for enough years to really establish that network.

Dems...it is a bright spring day for us. Go contribute. Go volunteer. And don't just vote....drag your friends and family to the polls. Lets get this thing done so that it is not down to the few ballots here and there on Diebolds crap.

THank you and GOOD NIGHT!

1. Nice!! Gave Kerry an other $25

two days ago. I may not be a one time $500 $1000 donor, but over a few months time, it will add up to those amounts.

2. Great to hear!

Keep up the good work, and enjoy AA!

3. Great news...

To answer one of your questions, William Pitt is Senior Editor and Lead Writer for T r u t h o u t - one of the more revealing digest websites. His essays are a must read. Here is a link to his latest...

Let's all recruit one new or converted progressive voter each week- it's the only way it won't be stolen again.

Best city I've ever lived in.

5. bravo, but... Ed Schulz is NOT on the AA lineup

nothing against him, ok. but, he's not on the roster. some channels are using only part of the total AA package right now.

6. yeah...okay. I won't affiliate him with the network...but it's still funny

because he really does sound strikingly like Rush. From what I understand, he's kind of a paid mouthpiece who will say what the markets are offering. Wasn't he a very conservative talk show host awhile back? Doesn't take away from what he's doing today. He's one more loudspeaker against this Bush junta
