A little about me

Living and broadcasting from the great political petri dish that is Alaska.

Why I deserve a Netroots Nation Scholarship

The lessons I've learned attending NN have helped me in so many ways. I need more, because we haven't fixed it all yet.

I manage these blogs

The blogs I use most are

What first inspired me to get involved

My town fought nuclear sub placement when I was in high school. We won. I learned a few with a righteous cause and no fear can win.

How I've gotten others involved

I'm a dealer of "Vitamin Democracy". In Alaska, it doesn't take many voices to make a huge difference.

The blog post I am most proud of

Why I think participation in the blogosphere is important

It's the collective voice that finds the collective solution.

More about my involvement with DFA and local work

Alaska is just getting DFA active and I'm sooooo glad.

More about my volunteer work

Last year I was a volunteer in the US Senate race for Scott McAdams.

My Twitter manifesto on online activism

It is activism if you can change the way people think about themselves. That's change.

My suggested bumper sticker slogan

Salmon Rock! No Pebble.

My idea for a cool new online action

Online fundraisers with interactive house parties. All one menu, drinks, posting pictures, sound track.
