| Hi Naresh -- I'm headed to Ohio this Friday -- want to be a part of it? I'll be taking a look at our ground game, checking in with local volunteers and organizers, and mapping out our work over the critical days ahead -- and we'll be streaming the whole thing live on Dashboard, the campaign's online field office. I could not be more excited to see all of the amazing things supporters like you are doing on the ground. I want you to be a part of it, too -- whether you tune in from a field office in Miami or Minneapolis or from your couch at home in Idaho or Indiana. That's why you should join us on Dashboard this Friday, October 26th, live from the field in Ohio. Sign up now for the livestream at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time for a look at how we're going to win this election. With less than two weeks to go, this is a great chance to recap the progress we've made together -- from the advantage we have in ballots cast early in Iowa to the tens of thousands of voters we've registered in Florida and the registration advantages we've built in nearly every other battleground state. But there's still a steep climb ahead of us -- so on Friday, we've got to keep looking forward, too. We'll take stock of where we're at, and plan our route to a victory on Election Day. We'll take a walk around the volunteer staging location, and chat with some Ohioans about what they've got planned for this final stretch. It'll be fun, and take it from me: It will be the perfect way to get fired up to clinch this thing. Sign up for the Dashboard Live event on Friday to gear up for these final days: http://my.barackobama.com/Dashboard-Live-from-the-Field SO pumped! Talk to you on Friday, Jeremy Jeremy Bird National Field Director Obama for America |
Save Dissent to Save Democracy THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
