There is a fantastic opportunity for supporters of Barack Obama to begin a real online grassroots organizing effort. As you may have heard, Meetup is now charging fees for activists to set up local groups that support political candidates. There is, however, a new web service called Zanby that does the same thing Meetup used to do, and has the capacity to do it better. Bill Richardson supporters have local Richardson for President groups at Zanby in 30 states. Barack Obama supporters have only created Zanby groups at 3 states: New York, Missouri, and North Carolina. Here at Care2, the Obama 2008 discussion group has members from 23 states and from Washington D.C. If these members will go over to Zanby, set up FREE accounts, and start state-level pro-Obama groups there, we alone can have half of the USA covered, creating opportunities for others to plug into the growing grassroots community of Obama for President supporters. It won't take more than 15 minutes to do it. Will you try?

I haven't used meetup much, but if it's worth the admission, then I wouldn't have a problem with paying to help promote Barack. I'm currently trying to get younger voters interested in Obama through trendy t-shirts
and myspace images. 2008 is a great year to have an election. With Youtube, myspace, and all these new 2.0 sites out there, we've got endless ways to help our candidate win. That wasn't there for us in 2004.

I am a obama supporter in the Chicago. I would like your help in starting a write in campaign in the state Of Michigan. It can be done simply and inexpeniensively. You need ink pads, stamps with obama's name in large letters, small blank white index cards and someone like Micheal Moore the documentary director to pull 2 commericals together, 1 for TV and 1 for radio. They should run from Sun, 6th of January to Tuesday, 15 of January at 6 p.m. est. You will simply pass out the index cards to potinial voter BEFORE they go to the polls. The TV and radio ad should instruct and educate people. What do you Think? ecrlonirowland@yahoo.com Please write back!
