Yesterday I posted the positions for my congressional run. It’s too long- it’s covering a ton of things I’ve posted on this site before, and it’s on www.electesrati.com for you to peruse. However, I run into a fundamental problem with having two different sites- this one, where I’ve got the 1,900+ posts on positions and [...]
I get inspiration from the readers of this site. I also get tips, kudos, slammed and damned. All of it OK, as long as it’s raising the level of discussion and making people think about things that aren’t necessarily on the top of people’s stuff-I-should-about list. The recent post about the Downtown Dayton Partnership requesting [...]
No, not to special interest groups, PACs, or lobbyists- to you. If you aren’t doing anything on Saturday, July 10, 2010- Teresa and I are having what I’m calling a Noah’s Ark sale. We’ve got 2 of almost everything and room for only 1. Starting at 9 a.m. at 113 Bonner Street you can meet [...]
If Dayton had fiber for internet service, I’d have the video up from last night’s debate already- however, because our country thinks building schools, hospitals and roads in Afghanistan is more important than the critical data infrastructure for the new economy- uploading 90 minutes of compressed video will take all night tonight. Since you can’t [...]
The last 2.75 days have been hell. My iPhone 3G “upgrade” turned it into a brick. And as digitally dependent as I am- it was a crisis. I spent over 6 hours on the phone with Apple- to no avail. The upgrade was supposedly unreversable- and it even trashed the backup. Luckily- I back things [...]
Tom Archdeacon, sports writer extraordinaire, and Mike Elsas- artist and gallery owner extraordinaire- are putting up an exhibit of Tom’s boxing posters and pictures from his long career covering boxing. Show opens tonight- on Brown Street in the Oregon District- right across from Thai 9- at the Color of Energy Gallery. To frame up the [...]
Last night I strapped 10 sign frames to the back of the bike, put the plastic bag signs in the luggage, along with buttons, bumper stickers, and old campaign lit- and made my way down to the Warren County Democrats’ organizational meeting. It may not be the easiest way to get your campaign stuff to [...]
I’ll let you in on a little secret, the real reason we don’t have campaign finance reform is not because the politicians like raising money and figuring out ways to effectively win elections. It’s because there is a huge industry that it supports, and the biggest player is the mass media. Politicians buy TV ads, [...]
It’s official. It’s a three-way race. With the election coming up so quickly, it’s unlikely that the other candidates can work the web as fast as I can. http://www.electesrati.com/ is up- and the donation page is up. I don’t need a lot of money- but I do need money for printing, for mailings, and for [...]
