Fellow JP’ers, this weekend affords us a chance to really step up to the plate. We need to be proud of our accomplishments here in Tulsa County. (I look at our success as a unifying move, rather as a power struggle.)
I suggest, when meeting other delegates, that we explain our group as an "enthusiastic organization of can-doer’s" and leave out any negative or vindictive statements.
Now is the time to bring energy and optimism to the front.
The name of the game is NETWORK, NETWORK. Make contacts with like-minded progressive folks from around the state. Please get their e-mail addresses. This just thecontinuation of a battle Gary has been waging for a long time.
Please, show-up, work-up, and put-up. See ya in OKC!

I'm going to try to NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK, but I'm floundering in a sea of work and kids (activities and sick) so my brain is busted right now.
One of us will be at the caucus Friday night so that we can figure out all of the stuff that's going on.
Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that a storm's brewing?

On the ODP website, you can download the 2003 Platform and compare it to the Committee Report on the 2005 Resolutions. Some folks are talking about holding a statewide meeting in the Fall, since the meeting adjourned without a Resolutions Committee Report and vote on the new Resolutions. If we think the 2003 Resolutions meet our needs sufficiently without risking a neutralization of the language (and are willing to get our precincts to support those values and vote dem)then we might want to be ambivalent about having that meeting.

A housekeeping item first. This was my first look at the new blog. It is very impressive.
I have been sending emails and calling legislators on the Medicaid legislation and our "senators" on the nuclear option. Now that the smoke is clearing a bit on that, I am mulling the writing of letters to our elected state Democrat officials to excoriate them on their neoconservatism. Let's pile on them.
