Feelin' a bit fired up! Today, I sent a little note to the Obama campaign.As a constitutional law teacher for 11 years, I know that Sen. Obama is comfortable explaining difficult concepts.An informal vetting of Whatever Club members revealed a green party candidate, someone "feelin’ the Hillary wave," a person who got her citizenship in college and has yet to vote, a permanent resident (you’re excused), and only two members who took the time and initiative to vote.
As we hear more great speeches from Sen. Obama, will Sen. Obama consider posting short youtube videos explaining concepts such as lobbyist bundling and how lobbyist gain influence in Washington? Maybe specifics about his remarks on Pakistan? And why making all public government data available to everybody to use as they wish will foster more transparency in government and why this is good for a democracy. I know the answers but I fear many do not.
Recently, while watching the dailykos debates, Sen. Obama made a great point against “lobbyist bundling.” But I worry that most average voters will not know these terms.
I believe doing a series of these videos will not only bolster Sen. Obama’s stand on a more open democracy but educate younger voters on how politics work in Washington now so that his calls for “change” will have a deeper impact among voters.
Thank you for taking the time to read this note,
KFCee-Lo
This is very poor form and I’m blaming myself for assuming you were registered and going to vote yesterday.
I’m going to try to assume less from now on. Do we all know how to tie our shoelaces? j/k
If you have any registered democrats in Texas or Ohio be sure to get on them about voting in their primaries because those will be battleground states for the democratic nomination.
