Just tell me where the "Smokey the Bears" were last month? We had forest rangers sitting up in towers looking for fires and yet not a single one in San Diego County? Well, no wonder the place was almost burned to a crisp! We have a massive amount of retired talent that would be happy to sit up in a tower with a radio and report first WHEN THEY FIRST START. Once you get a fire going in that brush, you can forgetabouttait! Let's enable the talent of our retired people because they have experience, rationality, time and the dedication to our country to take on any amount of jobs. How many retired seniors are ex-reservists that could do a multiplicity of jobs at local reserve centers? Let's use the power we have in our seniors - get them working...it's good for us and it's good for them...they might even lose those 50 pounds that have built up over the years and their grandkids will get to play with them an additional decade! Bill, get them in those towers!

Promoted by Joaquin--The PA for Richardson group has been doing viz all day in Philly. Give them some props in the comments!

Tuesday night is the next Democratic Candidate Debate - this time at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

We'll be there! A bevy of Richardson supporters are gathering in the afternoon and evening to show our support for the Governor (look for us on the MSNBC pre-debate coverage).

Then, when the debate begins, we're gathering at a local restaurant to watch the debate - and, WiFi willing, post our collective comments here on the Richardson site Live Chat.

If you are in the area, please join us.

If not nearby, join us with your enthusiasm for the Governor's campaign.

We are moblized, we are are engaged, and we are here to show the nation that there is an ever growing support for the man who MUST be the next President of the United States.

Tune in.

Turn on.

And, if you can't be there, you'll miss some incredible pizza!

Promoted by Joaquin- Get in touch with Steve if you live in New Jersey! 

We just had our big organizational meeting on October 6, and we're now in search of volunteers. Here's the scoop: Governor Richardson has declared that the key to winning the nomination is finishing in the top three in the Iowa caucuses and the NH primary. Both of those contests are in very early January 2008. If Governor Richardson meets his goals and gets a top-three finish in those states, he will immediately be in need of volunteers in each of the 20 or so states that has a February 5, 2008 primary. New Jersey is one of those early February states. So we want to set up a network of volunteers for January 2008 campaign activities here in NJ that we can call upon in the event of strong finishes in Iowa and NH. Basically, we're setting up a list now so we can call on you when we need you in January.

So that's the deal. Contact me at njforrichardson@gmail.com in order to volunteer, or even just to ask a question about volunteering, and I'll pass on your name to the appropriate campaign coordinator for North, Central or South Jersey. When those top-three finishes in Iowa and NH happen, we want to be ready to roll in big numbers right here in NJ. Like our state campaign director says, "We have to be ready to go from zero to sixty in 3 seconds." Help us out. It'll be a fun ride!

thanks,

Steve Kirsch

Dear Roadrunners,

On behalf of the Richardson for President Nevada staff and our local volunteers, I want to thank Richardson’s Roadrunners, the dozens of volunteers from New Mexico who made the long trek from Albuquerque to Las Vegas.   You made a real difference, giving thousands of Nevadans your first-hand accounts of Governor Richardson’s abilities and priorities.  Aside from the Governor himself, there are no better ambassadors for our campaign than those of us who have directly benefited from his leadership in New Mexico.   Read More »
It was a slow day in my campaign today. I had expected to be tabling at Riponfest, but thanks to my incident with the Riponfest organizers (see blog entry from yesterday), I didn't have a lot to do. Fortunately, I had made some calls to some of the other volunteers in Wisconsin on Friday, and one of the volunteers returned my call. We chatted for forty-seven minutes and 56 seconds. I remember because I looked on my cell phone after we finished talking.   Read More »
I just got back from sunny, sweltering hot Nevada; walking door to door in a massive canvassing effort. I heard comments from this side of the Mojave ranging from "that's a long way to go to walk precincts" to "there are plenty of things to do right here in California." On the other side of Mojave, I brushed off comments complimenting me on my dedication to seeing Bill Richardson win the nomination of the Democratic Party for President of the United States. I don't disagree with any of those comments.

I certainly consider myself dedicated "to the cause"; I have definitely drunk the Kool-Aid to see Governor Richardson in the White House. It is a distance to travel (4 hours in normal traffic, 6 house in bad traffic, 3.5 hours if you drive like I do); and there is much to do right here in our home state of California to prepare for election in February. Tabling, recruiting volunteers, organizing Roundups 4 Richardson, etc. are extremely critical to a Richardson win on February 5th (and yes, Bill Richardson can win California!)

Why Nevada? Why not New Hampshire or Iowa? For me, extended stays in New Hampshire and Iowa as a volunteer are just not feasible. I believe both of those states are critical in the build up to the "Super Duper Tuesday." Nevada is closer for me; I can travel there on weekends, and if necessary, catch a 50 minute flight. It is more than the convenience of distance; and my reasons underscore why the Nevada caucuses is critical to the campaign generally, and specifically to Californians.   Read More »
