So.
After enlisting the assistance of navajo and others spread the word;
After weeks of urging kossacks to make submissions to the Saturday Morning Garden Blogging Seeds of Change local election fundraiser in the weekly Saturday Morning Garden Blogging diary;
After posting nagging diaries through the week last week — including risking bojo (;-D) by a call-out click-bait diary title;
After finally getting more submissions after the click-bait diary (and right at the Thursday-night deadline), spending time Friday assembling the candidate submissions — in between a couple of non-dKos related time-sucking ventures that couldn't be put off;
After getting up early Saturday morning, to finish fine-tuning the formatting of the diary, then queuing to post at the traditional 7:00 a.m. Mountain time;
After waiting until 7:00 a.m. then refreshing the screen — at what seemed to be that very moment came the final clusterfuckery:
dKos went tits up — at @6:59 Mountain time as far as I could tell. And then dKos struggled and lagged all weekend.
At least, that's what I'm blaming for the disappointing response.
So I ask for your indulgence for the re-posting, below the kos kalligraphy, of the entirety of the Saturday Morning Garden Blogging 9th Anniversary Seeds of Change diary.
I ask (as I rarely do) for your recs — to put this and keep it on the rec list; and if you are so inclined, to share on social media;
And I further ask (okay, I'll beg if you require it) that you click the links, and donate as generously as you can to the candidates listed, who are supported by other kossacks who took the time to submit their names for inclusion.
Now is when we can help get progressive candidates on the ballots, and when our small contributions can help get our kind of Democrats into governorships, into statehouses, and into the myriad other municipal and state and county offices across the country.
Please, plant the seeds.
