Yale Dems go Canvassing!
Posted by Kevin Bock on September 18, 2006 at 2:17AM
The Yale Dems went canvassing this weekend. Three groups of nearly 20 students each drove off to each of Connecticut's three competitve congressional districts (Joe Courtney, Diane Farrell and Chris Murphy in the 2nd, 4th and 5th districts, respectively). Thanks to all who attended! If you have photos from either the Courtney or Farrell canvass, please send them to kevin.bock@yale.edu and we'll post them here! (Murphy canvassing pics on the flip!)
Missed this weekend's canvass? Don't worry! There are more to come. (Check the Events section!) Email eric.kafka@yale.edu to sign up for future canvasses!

50-60 student canvassers? DAMN! In 2004 I think we did maybe 2 canvasses with fewer than a dozen students in total.

Ned Lamont has to make a pledge that if he is elected that he will not support Frist or any other Republicans for the leadership of the Senate. Then someone has to challenge alleged Democrat Joe Lieberman to make the same pledge. If Joe Lieberman is a real Democrat he will, of course, make the pledge. If he won't it will show that he can't be trusted to remain a Democrat if he wins the election. Will he risk angering Republicans by being the Democrat he claims he is or will he slap Democrats in the face, even those prepared to vote for him next month, to please Republican voters?
Some Connecticut voter has to get Ned Lamont to make the pledge. He has to be asked to make the pledge so Joe Lieberman can't whine about a double standard. If Lamont goes first there is no way for him to do that. Connecticut voters have to then repeatedly challenge alleged Democrat, Joe Lieberman to make this pledge to Democratic and independent voters. You would think it would be the easiest possible thing in the world for a genuine Democrat to do.

Here's someone GREAT to canvas for. I'm here in Stratford, CT and we just started a parody "campaign" for president because it was time to start illuminating the political process to the masses.
Check out our first commerical (below) and then check out our website (www.VoteBonnie.com) and then if you have any energy left... please tell ALL your friends. We need all the eyeballs we can get right now.
Many thanks!

Democratic Party - Democratic Reform Party
As Democrats of the Democratic Party, we join together in seeking reform within the Democratic Party.
Many Democrats already know their elected representatives within the Democratic Party are no longer following in the time-honored footsteps laid down by the founding fathers of our great Nation. More importantly, we as democrats see our elected representatives within the Democratic Party abandoning the values and principles as set forth within the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
At the very least, many of our elected representatives within the Democratic Party are no longer abiding to the sole reason the Democratic-Republican Party was founded by Thomas Jefferson - "Strong state governments with a weaker federal government."
This is only the beginning of our problems as Democrats, for many of our elected representatives within the Democratic Party have clearly set their own agendas over the members of the Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people. Overall, many of them no longer think of themselves as being our elected representatives, and now refer to themselves as leaders in the true form of tyrants.
Most Democrats already know their pleas are only being answered by repeated insult and injury by their elected representatives within the Democratic Party. Despite this, we as Democrats can restore control of the Democratic Party back to the party members. All we need to do is cut off donations to the local, state, and national headquarters of the Democratic Party, and to make sure the donations are made directly to worthy and honorable Democratic Party candidates.
So spread the message to everyone of our fellow Democrats, for the Democrat members are taking back control of the Democratic Party. Also, please don't forget to contact and request the Unions and other outside contributors to follow our lead as patriotic Americans. Thank you!

GEEEKKKKKSS !!!
If you want to buy a car, you will have to receive the personal loans. Furthermore, my mother commonly takes a short term loan, which seems to be the most rapid.
