Summary Google News Search Blogsearch Twitter Search

• Knocking on doors
• Making phone calls
• Handing out flyers at subway stops
• Digital volunteering

They are similar to each other. They are all efforts to reach out to voters. If you think about it the digital methods are the most efficient in some ways and the cheapest. And they are the most scalable. Not all volunteers can show up at the campaign headquarters to make phone calls for a few hours every day, but all volunteers can go online on their own and do some digital volunteering.

No Country To Call My Own

Reshma is American. I am old enough to know I am never going to have a country of my own. Nepal was not it. America is not it. If America is the greatest country in the world, I hope there is a better planet out there somewhere, because I have not been particularly enamored of this country. If you situate yourself right, it is tolerable, but that's about it. India is heritage, it's not country.

Iran stands strong on my mental heat wave map right now. But that is political.

New York City is my playground. I have tried to think of it as a country, but it is not a country.

The Internet is the closest thing to a country I got.

Domestic Violence Can Be Ended Like Polio Could Be Cured

Pro choice progressive women in this town drive me nuts. They talk like their pro choice stand is the ceiling I have to bang my head against. The pro choice stand has to be a floor they stand on, they have to walk, jump and fly.

More women than men are graduating from colleges today. But the leadership structures in all sectors of society, in all the major institutions are still male and archaic.

Little expressions of attitude are relevant. Sexist jokes are weapons of attrition thrown at the self esteem of women.

Life experiences have to be shared experiences.

Obama Has No Business Kissing Maloney

The information age and the post-industrial society should make it more possible for people to strike better life-work balances.

"I can't think in front of a computer."
- Hillary Clinton

A new generation has to step in to kick the ball further down the road.

When the mass rapes were happening in Liberia I figured the women in this town, the pro choice women, might rise up in arms, but no, not a whisper.

The Anti Maloney Brigade

Barack Obama achieved JFK status as a candidate. He achieved FDR status after he passed health care reform. All other items like Wall Street reform and immigration reform keep him at the FDR level. If he wants to achieve Lincoln status, he is going to have to end the global trafficking of women the way Lincoln ended slavery.
