BREAKING NEWS: Chicago has 5 buses ready to go. See Rec List for Bus diary.
You may have noticed a lack of media coverage, with the exception of a blip a couple of weeks ago by CNN and the support of Ed Shultz.
If we are to be the Change, we have to do things. We need to let the media in every town and city know about this event.
Will you help? Can you commit to finding your local media contact information and, at the very least, emailing the Editor a short announcement?
You can mention that all the information they need can be found at this link to the

This is an action call more than a diary.
A call so that we can become One Nation Working Together.
If you are not comfortable making the actual contact with your local media, perhaps you could research and find the contact information. Drop it below, and another member of Team Kossack can do it for you. We all understand that local politics can be quite brutal these days. Sadly.
Now, let's change that.
Until and unless all liberals/progressives become well-organized, under one banner while still maintaining individual organizational goals, we can't be the change necessary to push back against an ever increasingly aggressive conservative movement.
There is just too much at stake. We must unite.
United, Each Organization/Person Will Have More Power/Influence
Thank you for your help.
We are growing quickly. Here's a partial list of who has joined ONWT. So, if someone says "That's just a union thing", you can let them know the truth: This is One Nation coming together, One Nation Working Together:
