Last Call For Last Call And A Party With Jim Dean

by: phillip anderson

Mon Nov 03, 2008 at 14:03:11 PM EST

As I wrote yesterday, we here in NY have a vital role to play in turning out the vote not only here at home, but around the country. Our phone calls to swing and even red states are freeing up resources on the ground to engage voters face to face. The Obama campaign in NY is looking for folks to place 200,000  calls TODAY and those calls don't make themselves. It's up to us.

You can find a phonebank by putting your zip code into that widget at the top right side of the page. You can also find one by clicking here. It's all hands on deck time, folks. Let's bring this sucker home.

Also, there's a party on Wed that folks in and near the city might want to check out. DFNYC is throwing a big one with special guest Jim Dean. DFNYC dynamo Heather Woodfield writes in an email:

Looking for a place to celebrate after the results have come in, after you have made many, many, many phone calls, and after you have polished off a lot of champagne?

Join me on Wednesday for...
DFNYC Linkup: The Election Party - After Party
President Obama's Going to Need Your Help...Find Out How.

Calling all Obama supporters!  Join Democracy for NYC and Democracy for America coalitions groups across the country (via a live conference call) for our 2nd post-presidential election Big Linkup.  This time we plan to be celebrating!

Special Guest: Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America

FREE - Friends and hangovers are welcome!  Come for the celebration, the camaraderie, and the cheap drinks.  Stay to learn how we can help President Obama and a Democratic Congress bring about the "Change We Need."  

When: Wednesday, November 5, 6:30 - 9:00pm

Where: The Tank @ DCTV, 87 Lafayette St, between White St and Walker St, 1 1/2 blocks south of Canal (accessible)

Closest Subways: 6, N, R, Q, W, J, M, Z to Canal or a 6 block walk from the 1 to Franklin or A, C, E to Canal

So, phonebank today and tomorrow, then come recuperate from all the hard work with DFNYC on Wednesday.

There's so much work to be done between now and then, but I sure hope to see lots of you Wed night here in NYC.

Now let's hit the phones.

NOW-NY Jumps the Gender Shark

by: Andrew C. White

Mon Jan 28, 2008 at 19:39:46 PM EST

With 8 days until the New York Presidential Primary NOW-NY went on the offensive for Hillary Clinton.

And I do mean offensive.

Capital Confidential reports the New York chapter of NOW has issued "a scathing reaction" (and adds that "scathing" is perhaps an inadequate adjective) to Teddy Kennedy's endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama.

Pay attention class... this is a lesson in how not to support your candidate... NOW-NY's statement below the fold:

INVITE - Wed. May 30 - First "Anti-Capitulation" Event, w/ Democracy for NYC

by: deep blue si

Fri May 25, 2007 at 14:57:57 PM EDT

Democracy for NYC (DFNYC) is committed to the ideals of Democracy for America (you may know it as DFA), the group founded by Howard Dean. We're proud to have TAP folks as members.

DFNYC has continually petitioned electeds to end the war, and spoken out for withholding funds. A totally volunteer, non-profit political action committee, DFNYC works for fiscally responsible, socially PROGRESSIVE candidates to WIN, at ALL levels of government.

Because of yesterday's terrible vote, Democracy for NYC is NOT caving. In point of fact, we are CHARGED.  Read on.

Good Morning from Albany!

  We've a full day planned. An evening of dinner, Eric Massa, and a movie, "Taking The Hill," a documentary about Massa's campaign in '06.

  More t omorrow. I'll try to update folks as we move along today.

Peace,

Andrew
