from the Campaign: Meetup Lists
Word from the campaign:
“The time has come to take the Kucinich campaign off the Internet and into the streets of our local communities. If you’re interested in doing things in the real world for Dennis then you have to join your Dennis Kucinich Statewide Meetup group! It’s Free and there’s one in every state!
Dennis Kucinich Meetup Map and List
The Meetup Groups are by far the best way to get involved with other Kucinich supporters in your State!
With all the necessary tools for grassroots organizing built right into the Meetup group it will be easy for you to connect with other supporter/organizers and build a successful grassroots Kucinich for President Statewide Organization.
Your Kucinich Statewide Meetup group will:
- Help you find others in your area who support Dennis Kucinich
- Help you stay informed about Kucinich Events/Meetings/Activities in your State.
- Help remind you about upcoming Activities that you want to attend.
- Help you promote your own Kucinich related Events to the rest of the Group.
- Help you communicate with individual group members or the whole Group easily without having to give out your email address.
I know a lot of you don’t want to join another list because you’re already on so many. However, your Statewide Meetup Group is too important to not join, even if you have to remove yourself from other kucinich lists to do it. We believe the Meetup Groups are the most powerful organizing tool the campaign has available.
Dennis needs everyone to hit the streets and help spread his message of Strength through Peace to as many people as possible. Please Join your Statewide group right now.
After joining your Statewide meetup group help us spread the word and tell everyone you know to join theirs!
Located on each group is a section called promote. From the promote section you can invite others to join and also get group stickers to put on your personal internet sites/blogs. Thank you for your support.”Dennis Kucinich Meetup Map and List

Knock, Knock.. Anybody home? I have emailed bluegal and commented on every blog I can re Wexler’s petition to get the Judiciary committee to hold impeachment hearings, and, while other commenters seem to be in agreement that the lefty blogosphere should make the same kind of push for hearing as they did for the Dodd filibuster, so far, the attention to Wexler’s petition has been tepid. As Glen Greenwald explained in his recent Salon article:
there was an email exchange between a relatively small group of bloggers and a couple of representatives from grass-roots organizations in which the same idea arose: finding a Senator who would be willing to place a “hold” on the Rockefeller immunity bill. Earlier that morning, Big Tent Democrat had noted that Chris Dodd had issued a strongly worded statement against Jay Rockefeller’s bill, and he urged Dodd to announce he would lead a filibuster against the bill. Based on all of that, it was quickly recognized, both in comments and in that email group, that the obvious choice to target for a “hold” was Dodd, who had made constitutional and oversight issues the centerpiece of his presidential campaign.
Within literally a matter of minutes, numerous blogs began urging their readers to contact the Dodd campaign to ask Dodd to place a “hold” on any bill containing immunity. MoveOn sent out an email to its membership list urging the same. Blog readers and others then deluged the Dodd campaign by the thousands, tying up their telephones and overflowing their email boxes.
It was exclusively in response to that blog-based outpouring of citizen passion that Dodd — within a matter of a few hours — emphatically vowed that he would do something he has almost never done during his 24-year Senate career: place a “hold” on this bill and, if necessary, lead a filibuster against it on the floor of the Senate. Dodd’s responsiveness, and the all-too-rare leadership he displayed, prompted an outpouring of support for his campaign from citizens hungry for any sort of Democratic leadership, as he raised $200,000 in small donations over the next 24 hours alone, exceeding the total he had raised for the preceding many months.

If this same kind of concerted effort was made on behalf of Wexler’s petion, A million signatures are easily within reach. I listened to Wexler on blog radio this evening and he is an impressive guy.
Just think how great it would be to see Dennis Kucinich leading the fight for impeachment on the house floor. If the bloggers on this site have any influence w/ others, please get them to push their readers to sign this petition. Thanks.
