This evening, KTK is helping to promote Saturday Morning Garden Blogging's Ninth anniversary celebration, which will focus on fundraising opportunities for local elections. The SMGB team is inviting Kossacks to present their local candidate and their campaign for consideration.
Frankenoid explains how this will work:
It is a mid-term election year and now — during the subdued primary process — is our chance to get not just Democrats, but more progressive Democrats, into our state, county or municipal offices.
Call it planting the seeds for a harvest next November.
Kosmail the group before Thursday, February 20th, with some information about your candidate, the position being sought, and a link to a donation page. I'd really appreciate it if you could put it in ready-to-plug-in format so I can just do a copy and paste into the diary — and you can encourage your candidate to come and participate.
What a terrific project! Let's help to plant those seeds of change. If anyone needs assistance with formatting information regarding your local candidate before submitting to the
Saturday Morning Garden Blogging group, please feel free to post a comment in any Kitchen Table Kibitzing diary, and someone will come along to help.
In this morning's New Day, navajo quoted Frankenoid again, and I'm going to as well:
Many times newcomers to dKos can't quite figure out why we have all these groups for gardening and home repair and crafting and painting and books: this is a site for politics!
Let's show them why community matters: at the most basic level without community there is no purpose to politics and it becomes nothing more than a scrim behind which factions scramble in a zero-sum game for short-lived political advantage.
Community matters. Couldn't have put it any better than that.
PS Thanks to navajo for allowing me to plagiarize!

Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share part of the evening around a virtual kitchen table with kossacks who are caring and supportive of one another. So bring your stories, jokes, photos, funny pics, music, and interesting videos, as well as links—including quotations—to diaries, news stories, and books that you think this community would appreciate. Readers may notice that most who post diaries and comments in this series already know one another to some degree, but newcomers should not feel excluded. We welcome guests at our kitchen table, and hope to make some new friends as well.
