A little about me

I am progressive. I am liberal. I make no apologies. I believe government has an obligation to create an even playing field for all of this country's citizens and immigrants alike. I am not a socialist. I do not seek enforced equality. However, there has to be equality of opportunity, and the private sector, left to its own devices, will never achieve this goal.

I would describe myself as a

blogger

Why I deserve a Netroots Nation Scholarship

I have been working with DFA since it was "Dean For America" I was the First in Broward County Florida to host a meetup for Howard Dean February 28th 2003,
I would like to learn how to better format and distribute our message at Netroots. I look forward to learning new things to try.

I manage these blogs

Broward For Change
Change in Tallassee

The blogs I use most are

Talking Points Memo
Daily Kos

What first inspired me to get involved

I was involved with Robert Kennedy to put the 18 year old vote in the constitution. I became a online activist during the 2000 theft of the presidency.

How I've gotten others involved

I have social media classes for activist and I promote online activism through FaceBook, Twitter and email list(s).

The diary I am most proud of

Why I think participation in the blogosphere is important

By having 9,000 twitter followers, 2000 FaceBook Friends and my e-list I generate more than 4000, repost to my activist articles. 4000 is the average listener to a AM raido station. Together we are all more influential than Right Wing AM radio
