Countdown to Change - WA?
[editor's note, by Arthur Ruger]: Excellent idea. Anybody have time to contribute?
"Three Rhode Island Blogs Launch "Countdown to Change" to http://www.mydd.com/story/2006/12/29/141256/58 "In an unprecedented act of web-based collaboration, three of Rhode Island's most popular Blogs, RIFuture.org, Kmareka.com, and Pat-Crowley.org, announce that they will provide collective coverage of the first 100 hours of the new Democratic Congress to provide Rhode Islanders with immediate and comprehensive access to the actions of Rhode Island's four Democratic Congressmen and the new Democratic Congress. During the fall campaign, Democratic leaders promised to make substantial changes during the first 100 hours of the 110th Congress in 7 key areas: Lobbying reform and fiscal accountability; Increasing the Minimum Wage; Making college more affordable; Making health care more affordable by passing legislation to negotiate lower prescription drug prices; Allowing stem cell research; Implementing the 9/11 recommendations and Rolling back subsidies to the big oil companies.
The three Bloggers have agreed to work together to discover if Congress will enact the changes that will put America on a better course for working families, the elderly, college students, and healthcare consumers."
IF others are interested,
I'd volunteer to monitor some of the 100 hours and some subset of the legislation. (as some of you know, I am, at best, contemptuous of the effectiveness of the DC Dems. I would LOVE them to PROVE me wrong.) This 2 week headache / fever flu thing still has me in space, so, I haven't really thought about how to organize critical specifics:
who does what
(some of you may know - I was a cook / chef for 15 years, and I hate high level big picture powerpoint vague 'genius' management crap. I have almost ZERO interest in ideas with NO critical specifics such as: who, what, when, where, how.)
