  2. Unfortunately my honeytodo list will kill me, if I ignore it any longer.

    p>That said, OFA-MA is exceptional at this sort of thing. If you have an inclination to go, but aren’t quite sure if your time will be well spent, please let me assure you it will be very much worth your time and energy.

    p>Check out their site: http://www.massforchange.org/

    p>There are tons of vid clips from previous events to give you a sense of “how they do.”

  3. Ok, now it’s approaching cult-of-personality creepy.  A rising Obama logo, surrounded by an angelic radiant aura, lifting a Caduceus to the heavans, and Obama logos over doorways to homes, like Obama mazuzahs!  

    <

    p>I am awaiting the publication of Chairman Barry’s Little Red Book … oops, spoke too soon.

    <

    p>”We are the ones we’ve been waiting for,” comrades!

  4. John McDonough, Senior Healthcare Policy Advisor to Sen. Kennedy, will be speaking as well–coming from DC just days after the HELP bill was released. Celia Wcislo, who has also been working on hc reform in DC for SEIU, will also be speaking. This is a really impressive line-up!
