Welcome to the Majority. After 8 years of Bush, and the horrible "triangulated 90’s", we finally have an honest to god, for real, intelligent, progressive majority in American politics. WE WON! I know, you are having a hard time believing it just as much as I am, but guess what – WE WON! WE ARE THE MAJORITY PARTY!

As strange as this feels after 8 years of abuse while in minority party , we need to start getting used to it and start acting a little differently. This transition, though I expected would happen sooner, is apparently a little harder to manage that I originally thought. What do you all think of establishing a few ground rules to help "manage" the transition into a full-on, acting as we are - majority?

Everyone,

Don't take it personally, but I am trading in my Dailykos account on a Moleskine notebook for a while.

Thanks Everyone!

***update*** they will not make us go outside. good news!

Everyone,

I am at Odom Elementary in Austin Texas, Precinct 447. Over 400 people were here at 7:30 for the caucus. There are still over 150 people waiting to sign, an untold number of people have left already, I am not sure who has left out of frustration, but it has to be scores.

They are talking about closing the school at 11:00 and kicking everyone out. At that point we may just move the caucus outside.

Please understand that we have not yet finished signing, and the caucus has yet to begin.

Also, someone here has the Hillary headquarters on the line and who knows what they are talking about. I would imagine some of what is going on here will be used against Texas when the Hillary team decides to contest the Texas election laws.

UPDATE!!!!

FINALLY! 2 FUCKING SHEETS at a time. Both campaigns are going to oversee to make sure t stays fair.

People, we are gonna be outta here shortly!

Everyone,

We have less than two weeks to go. It's time to start making the calls, walking the beat, and talking to the street. Let's do this together. We got one vote each to make it happen, and one election day to make a change. What we have in numbers are phone calls to make, and people to talk to.

So what can you do?

I have identified three places to start:

1.    Call for Change:
2.    Work your local campaign
3.    Help keep the polling places legit Read More

At 9AM this morning I lost my home to foreclosure. It was auctioned off at the Travis County courthouse at the "Rear Sallyport entrance". I did not attend the auction. I came to work and went about my morning as I always do. My wife and kids were at the house getting the last items out before the Sheriff came to change the locks and kick us out.

I am spending a couple of weeks in limbo while I wait for my apartment to be ready. I have worked out a place to stay, all of my belongings sit in two storage rooms. We are living out of suitcases and eating off of paper plates. I call it "inside camping". I think we are weathering it well, but it is still a trying situation nonetheless.

However, this is not a story about me, but a guide for the rest of you.

The movie Princess Mononoke by Hayao Miyazaki, is a japanese cartoon that unlike most others, is set in the past. In this past the wilderness of earth contains a magical quality that is slowly being destroyed by an industrialized society. The animals in this magical realm are all enraged by the encroachment of humankind and thier exploitation of the natural resources. The humans on the other hand, are seeking to create weapons and inflict thier domainance over all things. Read More

First let me just get this off my chest:

It was me. I Farted in DC the senate offices this morning. I'm sorry.

I had some broccoli and beer last night with a fried egg sandwich. I normally wouldn't eat that for dinner, but I got home late and was in a hurry, and that was all I had in the fridge. I knew at 4 this morning I was gonna have a hard day when my stomach started rumbling, but I too tired to get up and take care of business...

In 1985, a group of anonymous reverends and pastors wrote The Kairos Document as a challenge to Christianity in the face of Apartheid.

The 1985 document can be read here:

http://www.sahistory.org.za/...

In Christianity, a Kairos Moment is a time for God's will to be acted upon. In a purer sense of the word, it can be summed up to mean "strike when the time is right"

It is my belief that America is soon approaching a "Kairos Moment", a moment for us to act upon the greater will forces and exact a change for the greater good.

Some excerpts from the KD Document after the fold. Read More

The Stunning March In Dallas:

Full article:

http://www.nytimes.com/...

DALLAS, April 9 -- Hundreds of thousands of people, many waving American flags, marched through downtown Dallas today to protest tougher immigration restrictions proposed in Congress and to support legalizing undocumented workers.

The Tally:

The estimates were anywhere from 20,000 to 200,000, but all of a sudden they started coming, and they kept coming and kept coming. We estimate that we have 350,000 to 500,000 people down here today."

Tom Delay is gone.

Please use this diary to recollect everything you ever hated about Tom so we can build a great seething diary of muck to go back to whenever we want to remember just what a cheeky bastard this guy really is...

This also serves to help us cleanse ourselves of the emotional wretchedness that Tom Delay has inspired in us all.

I have waited three years for this day. Now we must begin to find closure.

Another golden age of humanity has begun the long and slow descent into another dark age. Humanity tries as best she can to get us all together in one big momentous push to make something, I cannot know for sure what it is, happen. By looking back 2 thousand years to the last great epoch of humanity, the Greek and Roman empires, I can begin to get an inkling of just what it is that the collective will of humanity is trying to do with each and every one of us that dares rise above the rim of the drunken glass of ego and peer off into a limitless distance. Each and every one of us who with a long and concerned stare realize how utterly small, fragile, insignificant and supremely special our little blue planet is, teeming with life and striving for some upward continuation. As to what that inkling is, it will take me a while to get around to explaining it, as a lot has happened in those 2 thousand years, and the few billion years preceding. Before I go there, I need to get some more basic stuff out of the way first. Read More

This just came from my best friend. His mother is organizing this, and I encourage all Dallas Area kossacks to attend.

The Open Door Project is a method by which
participants guide others to freedom of thought.
Within this method, all ideas that lead to
philosophical dialogue include understanding and
appreciation of others' ideas. We make intelligent
decisions based on that knowledge.

The office of citizens for equality has offered their
meeting room for us on February 6, 2006 at 7:30 p.m.
The location is:
----------------------------------------------------------------
4301 Bryan St
Dallas, TX 75204-6751 (Links to Google Maps)

I will provide a phone number for the location if you email me at greg DOT morgan -AT- gmail DOT com
