I had no idea where to post these and a couple nice people told me everywhere. I'm not taking that literally, but I thought here might work? Let me know if this was a bad idea.

(Madmen know nothing)

There is much debate about what will happen now to these communities. Communities are like coalitions, they are sometimes temporary and fragile things. There has been a lot built up here, and these will all continue to evolve. Here are some other communities you may wish to also join.

I know it is way too soon, but I created this community before the election because I had hope.
2012obama

I co-moderate this long lasting but smaller Obama community. Generally anything Obama related is accepted and debate can often flow between very different perspectives.
obama_rama

This is another community I co-moderate and it's focus will no doubt be on new Obama and other possible policies that would largely be considered progressive. It might be more policy specific than some of you wish, but the more the better!
progressivism

Here is yet another community I co-maintain that has an even more explicit focus on economic policy and what we can do to get out of our current economic situation.

Also of similar interest:
the_recession

Here is a hip new community that is already rapidly growing that I will contribute to, but do not moderate or maintain.
president_obama

If you want to perhaps bash the right, this may be of interest.
rightwing_free

And here is the last Obama related community I know that is lots of fun.
lolobama

I highly suggest viewing these great photos of President Obama.

This is how I feel today, well I know it's the crazy Ewok song but the words are still a celebration.

I entered into a scholarship competition in which you provide a picture and description of the ultimate political dream team, then others vote.
WELL, I entered in with Hillary and Amy Poehler (for the Lol effect).
So, support Hillary being part of the ultimate political dream team and vote for my entry!

Here's an interesting article by Rebecca Traister (Salon.com). A must read for all Hillary Clinton supporters.

Zombie feminists of the RNC

How did Sarah Palin become a symbol of women's empowerment? And how did I, a die-hard feminist, end up terrified at the idea of a woman in the White House?

By Rebecca Traister

Sept. 11, 2008 | I have been dreaming about Sarah Palin. (Apparently, I'm not alone.) I wish I could say that I'd been conjuring witty, politically sophisticated nightmares in which she leads troops into Vancouver or kindergartners in the recitation of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." But, alas, mine have been nonsensical, kiddie-style doozies in which she kidnaps my cats, or enjoys a meal with my girlfriends while I bang on the restaurant window. There's also a chilling one, in which a scary witch stands on a wind-swept hill and leers at me.

What troubles me most -- aside from the fact that there is suddenly a Republican candidate potent enough to so ensnare my psyche -- is my sense that these are dreams in which it matters very much that Palin is a woman.

I have been writing about feminism for more than five years; I have been covering the gender politics of the 2008 presidential election for more than two. And I am absolutely gobsmacked by the intensity of my feelings about Sarah Palin. I am stunned not only by the way in which her candidacy has changed the rules in the gender debate, or how it is twisting and garbling the fight for women's progress. But I'm also startled by how Palin herself is testing my own beliefs about how I react to women in power.

Declaration of PUMA Objections by Annabelle

When, in the course of U. S. Presidential Elections, it becomes necessary for one portion of a political party to assume among the people of the nation a position different from that which they have previously occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of their Constitution entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of fellow citizens requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course.

In agreement with generations who have gone before us, we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed at birth with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness.

Prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for transient causes; and accordingly experience has shown that citizens are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the political structures to which they are accustomed. But political parties are not governments, and when a long train of abuses and usurpations evinces a design to reduce them under authoritarianism, it is their duty to throw off such a political party, and to provide different representation for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of many in the Democratic Party, and it is this suffering which compels them to now demand the representation to which they are entitled. The recent history of both parties is a history of repeated injuries on the part of elected officials against the electors, having in direct object the establishment of authoritarian power over them, for the purpose of profit. This has rendered the Democratic Party unrecognizable to ordinary citizens. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Subject: Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama
Fandom: U.S. Senators
Category: Politics
Song and Artist: The Beatles - Got to Get You Into My Life
Set: Watanuki (July)

I didn't know what I would find there.

Sorry to keep harping on this, but I want to make clear one last time that any money donated to Hillary--either via mail or her website--can and will go only to retiring Hillary's primary campaign debt. Anyone who says otherwise is attempting to deceive you.

Go here for constant updates on the state of fundraising in the campaign. Heidi is a fundraiser who I know personally and she's very reliable. The donation link on her page will take you right past the home page, which is necessarily dedicated to Obama. The Contribution page is all Hillary, read the fine print: "Hillary for President" is what it says. That's the only place it goes.

Lastly, the "Just Say No Deal" Coalition has plans for a donation bomb on July 4th. So, if you're so able and inclined, please donate $20.08 to Hillary on the 4th of July.

Thank you!!!
