Mission Failure at Phil HQ..
Between the freaking clear channel stream failing me (in linux and windows), and in chat (er Live Blog) I felt like i was in a room with people completely clueless about electronic voting..
Oh well.
Hope it went better for someone else. I’ll have a beer or two now. I respectfully gave up my slot.
Sorry we missed ya, Phil. U shouldn’t have hung up! But thanks for trying…
While driving, I heard an Angie caller say something about all progressive orgs getting together to design publicly funded elections. I’d like to add that we should sell it like the right wingnuts sell their messages:
– create talking points to educate the public
– all media (blogs, mags, tv/radio, orgs like MoveOn, DFA, etc.) continually use the same talking points…repeatedly
– use resources like email lists to send the talking points out from each org
– repeat same verbiage on tv/radio
Sort of like fighting fire with fire. This is how Americans are used to getting informed. We need to get on that bandwagon, and they can ask questions later. Thanks for all of your work here. W.
I missed this program…hope there’s a podcast of it soon.
