Here is a picture of Jane and her dog taken by me with my I-phone. It was a nasty rainy night but there was quite a crowd. And the topic and event was timely with the passing of the House Health care Bill on the tails of the Stupak/Pitts Amendment. Here is what <a href="http://janefonda.com" target="_self">Jane</a> had to say about the bill before it passed,
<blockquote>Women’s health means rightwing stealth. At the last minute, the Stupak/Pitts Amendment was attached to the Health Care Reform Bill. This amendment violates the underlying principle of health care reform, as articulated by President Obama, that “no one will lose the benefits they currently have.” Truth is that under the Stupak/Pitts Amendment, millions of women would lose benefits they already have and millions more would be prohibited from getting the kind of private sector health care coverage that most women have today. ie: millions of women would lose private coverage for abortion services and millions more would be prohibited from buying it even with their own money.</blockquote>
And here is a picture of the crowd taken by Jane and posted on her blog today, with me in the upper right hand corner.

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://blogbyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/eye-fi_card_sharergb.jpg"><img class="right size-medium wp-image-1565" title="eye-fi_card_sharergb" src="http://blogbyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/eye-fi_card_sharergb-240x300.jpg" alt="eye-fi_card_sharergb" width="240" height="300" /></a>This falls in the category of a very cool new trick. Sometimes something comes along that truly makes one's life easier. I know there are always new technologies coming down the pike but how many times do you get something and you can barely understand how to use a tenth of it? So now I am here to share with you what might be one of your most used devices of the year. <a href="http://www.eye.fi/">Introducing Eye-Fi</a>. This is a little orange 4 gig memory card that goes into your camera to replace your old one and then it is magic. You go stand within ten feet of your computer and depending on which level you get it will 1)  upload all of the photos on it to your computer, or 2) your computer and a website (like Flickr) or 3) your photos <em>and movies</em> to your computer and a website. Now how is that for a dream answered?

I have been telling our City Councilman, Kwanza Hall that he needs to stop taking pictures with his Blackberry because they are all blurry. Kwanza is active on Facebook and Twitter and is all over Atlanta. He posts lots of fuzzy photos that cause you to squint and wonder if you are going blind. I asked him about it and he said that he can't use his little camera because the memory card is always full. He explained that being on the run he forgets to go through the tedious process to unload his photos. Now I have just solved his problem. All of Atlanta will be thanking me for getting him squared away with this little piece of new technology. Chalk this one up to a <a href="http://www.newtricks.me">New Trick </a>that is going to make us all really happy.

6:00 AM - Duane stealthily got dressed and left for work doing the camera and wiring over at Lafayette Park where a lot of network anchors were set up.

6:30 AM Claudia and I got up and felt pretty good about going to the mall with the crowds. We put lots of layers on plus woolly hats and socks and I felt like a little kid in a snow suit. Weather says it is 20 degrees and should warm up a bit with the sun out.

7:30 AM We decided to head over to the Washington Monument as a large indicator of exactly where ]]></description>

8:30 AM - Joe took Claudia and I to the Airport. ( its nice to have nice friends).

9:45AM - We're at the Atlanta airport, Claudia gets out her guidebook and I take out my iPhone. Its a race between new and old school to see
who finds a great place for lunch once we get into DC. She thumbs through her book and I give Urban Spoon a shake. Et voila, we both come up with Matchbox, a little bar restaurant on H street in Chinatown around the corner from where we were staying at the Renaissance Hotel. Claudia called and made reservations. I called that round a tie.

My sister, Edna, called me Saturday thrilled to have found an engraved invitation to the Inauguration in her mailbox that afternoon. She <em>loved </em>getting it, feeling it and smelling it. We kind of figured that she got it for making several substantial donations to Obama's campaign along the way.  I also made donations throughout the campaign as well as worked on it and I didn't get one. But hey, I wasn't going to waste any time feeling slighted because what I realized in a split second was that ]]></description>

The fact that Obama was actually elected President of the United States is just incredible. It is so nice to finally be working on the side that won. What a great feeling. I could not believe when the moron sheep of this Nation voted for George Bush - a second time.

I have been impressed with Obama from the time that I read his first book about his father. That was a couple of years before he ran for President. I liked him but I came to respect and admire him more and more over time. During this campaign McCain showed himself to be an erratic, opportunist who did not have a clue about what American's wanted or needed from a President. Choosing Sarah Palin as a running mate and then acting so bizarrely with the economic crisis, whew...not very presidential. I was appalled. No way could we let them win. Whereas Obama has been steller. He ran a great campaign. it was impeccable.

From Friday October 31 to November 4, I had a front row seat to the get Obama elected volunteer efforts. I  donated our loft space on Krog street to be a count down staging area for three Intown polling stations. Here is a little video piece on what we did leading up the Obama Election.

The next day after the election when the hangovers abated, everyone just moved on over to work on the Martin campaign. And we have been working our buns off to get him elected. Swarms of people from all over the country have come to Georgia to help.

Today at the Clinton rally I found myself in the second row of people right behind the barricade for the Jim Martin Rally at Clark Atlanta. Clinton gave a great speech. He said Jim can get elected if we want it bad enough. That's what it takes. Chambliss is counting on people not going out to vote and it is up to us to make sure that they do, if we want it enough.

After the speech, Clinton came over the the barricade and started working ht eline. I just willed him over. I knew he would come my way. And then he did and well actually it was more like a clasp of hands, we shared a moment. Bill Clinton ranks way up there in my book of famous people I would like to spend an evening with. I am on cloud nine.]]></description>

Our very own Dene Shepherd spoke today at President Clinton's Rally for Jim Martin at Clark Atlanta University. Dene has been tireless in her dedication to getting Obama elected and the day after Obama was elected she was down at the Martin campaign headquarters volunteering for Jim Martin. Dene worked for months at the Spring Street Obama office and then she was the lead person for our Get out the Vote effort here at Krog Street for the five days leading up to the election.]]></description>

Now that the election is over I still find myself tuning in to MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olberrman" at 9:00 and "The Rachel Maddow Show" at 10:00. It's not that there isn't any news these days post-election, but it was just so damned exciting before. What crazy ass thing was McCain going to do next? What are the polls saying? What was Sarah up to?

Back in the golden days of yesteryear ( actually about two years ago), I loved to listen to Rachell Maddow on Air America. She was smart and funny and slightly sarcastic but did I mention that she was really smart? It turns out that she has a PhD in Political Science from Oxford University where she was a Rhodes Scholar. But then Air America was taken out of the Atlanta Market and we progressive Democrats were back in the wilderness in regards to good daily news with a good dose of fact checking regarding the shenanigans that were going down in Washington with the Bush and Cheney crew. ]]></description>

Obama is taking the campaign to the people and getting the volunteers out into the community rather than the local headquarters. On November 1-4 the "Get out the vote" effort for the district that includes the Old Fourth Ward will be housed at my place on Krog Street. This election will be decided by what this grassroots movement can accomplish on Election Day.

There are volunteer shifts to fill throughout the day -- make calls, knock on doors, and make sure your fellow voters get to the polls. No previous experience is required. So <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/canvass/gs5jgz" target="_blank">sign up now</a>, take the day off and make history on November 4th. Volunteer for working here and then we can party.]]></description>
