This is what I know about MOT/Jesse from his Daily Kos diaries: he’s passionate, committed, smart, funny, intense and quick on his feet. He writes and speaks from personal experience, having grown up working-class; from thoughtful analysis, developing his positions with solid critical skills; and from great passion, unifying his heart and mind on behalf of economic and social justice.
This is what I know about MOT/Jesse from DKos stats: he’s the 6th most recommended diarist of all of us, and the 6th most followed as well. (He has 1449 followers, which ought to be more than enough to get him to NN’12 if everyone votes for him!) These stats are all the more impressive considering his comparatively recent arrival at DKos, in January of 2009.
This is what I know about MOT/Jesse from his posts and his bio information on his NN’12 nomination page: he has over 11,000 followers on Twitter. He is a fiercely independent young man, driven and determined to speak truth to power and to stop, then reverse, the corporate domination of our politics. He has been deeply involved with Occupy Wall Street since its beginning, and his dedication to promoting the welfare of the 99% is unrelenting.
Won’t you please join me in voting in support of his candidacy for a NN’12 scholarship? I can think of very few people who would benefit more from this opportunity—and who would then be able to use what he learns for the benefit of all of us.
Here is the link to click. Let's get him in the top three tonight, and then let's keep him there!
