The Fifty State Action Plan. The Boots On the Ground For The U.S. Democratic Party.

Joseph Raglione
Gentle readers within this American Chronicle, I like Matt Blizek, Field Director of

Democracy for America; because I get the feeling he is honest with his thoughts and his actions...>

Joseph -

It's just six months until the November elections and it seems that Democrats in Washington are finally finding their backbone and delivering on their promise of change. (Maybe the catastrophic Loisiana Oil slick had something to do with their attitude change? It sure had plenty to do with mine!..Joseph.)

Using reconciliation to pass healthcare without a single Republican vote, holding firm against Republican filibusters of new Wall Street regulations, and going on offense with immigration reform that will split the Republican Party in two -- it seems Democrats have finally decided they have a mandate to lead this country forward.

It's about time.

But you and I know we can't trust them to do it alone. We're the boots on the ground that continue to lead the way and I want you to join me and Governor Howard Dean at an Organizing Get Together on Tuesday, May 18, to find out your role in the 50 State Action Plan to get the job done.

HOST AN ORGANIZING GET TOGETHER IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Hosting an O.G.T. can be a lot of fun. All you need is a location like your own home or a local meeting room and a computer with access to the internet so you can join the conference call with me and Governor Dean. We'll provide the agenda, help you recruit other DFA members, and after you sign up to host, a DFA National Field Organizer will contact you directly to make sure you have everything you'll need to make it a fun, successful event.

And since May 18 is also Election Day for the Democratic primary in Arkansas and Pennsylvania, it's a great excuse to get together with your DFA friends and watch the results as the returns come in. We'll be getting live updates from DFA members on the ground throughout the conference call for two of the biggest primary challenges of the year: Blanche Lincoln vs. Bill Halter and Arlen Specter vs. Joe Sestak.


SIGN UP TO HOST AN O.G.T. ON MAY 18 NOW

The 50 State Action Plan is about more than winning primaries now or elections in November. This is about the long-term strategy of building a movement with the power to win on progressive issues.

We'll expand our existing local groups. We'll build new issue-focused teams, unite our national community with local events, and train new leaders with regional summits. We'll place trained activists with jobs on campaigns, train campaign staff in the skills to win, and mobilize to elect progressive Democrats up and down the ballot.

The 50 State Action Plan is ambitious. It's our biggest investment in DFA's Field Program yet and I couldn't be more excited to be the National Field Director helping you lead the way to get the job done.

HOST AN ORGANIZING GET TOGETHER WITH HOWARD DEAN

Sign up to host a party in your neighborhood today and one of our National Field Organizers will contact you right away to help you set up a great event.

I can't wait to get started. Let's get together on May 18 and make it happen.

Matt

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
