Hello -- with the job in a precarious position I have to stop donating to JRE (or the local congressional candidates I've donated to). For those who are in the same boat as me I ask you to make this 5 minute effort -- per day.
Digg.com is a "content sharing" site. Kind of a DKOS "Recommended List" for the world. It has a huge audience -- it is one of the top 150 sites in the world (compared to DKOS, which is in the top 4-6000 (it changes wildly)
Even more relevant, the users are well-educated types who actually read the news (as opposed to watching TV/pundits).
So here is what I am asking you to do
- once a day, go to digg.com, on the top-right is the search box. Type in John Edwards (or Edwards)
- select sort by newest first
- Select the "digg it" button on the left
That's it. It just takes 70 or so "Recs" or "Diggs" to get on the front page, depending on the day and time (I haven't figured out the formula).
There is an excellent story about on John Edwards being encouraged by MLK's son (MLK III) -- it's on the rec list at DKOS, lets put it up on the Rec list for the world!
Remember, helping to change the minds of just a few hundred voters in the primaries could make a huge difference.
p.s. You will have to register with digg.com, it takes 3 minutes.
p.p.s If you already have a digg account, here is the MLK story for you to "Rec": http://digg.com/...
