This past Thursday evening was another Kucinich Volunteer Meetup here in Manhattan. It was held in a funky back room of the 11th Street Bar in the East Village. Sadly it was abit of a cool, wet evening and I arrived 1/2 hour late, as I'd been uptown at a workout session with Personal Trainer. The meetup lasted roughly two hours and a few things were accomplished. One of which is that we raised over $90 in campaign contributions. Yeah! Other notes ... Rob J made announcements, many spoke of why they are passionate supporters of Kucinich and finally groups were formed in discussions of Delegates/ Petitioners. [Only sour note of the evening was a brief, heated debate on abortion issues.] I offered to contact those who attended the meetup, via email, of the upcoming Kucinich event on November 21st, plus send Yahoo Group URL. This I took care of upon arriving home after the meetup. I'm also responsible for sending out the advertising, on November 21st event, to different websites. Such as WBAI, WNYC, United for Peace & Justice, MoveOn.Org and so on. Past week or so has been not only busy at work [E&Y], but with this political volunteer stuff. It feels great to be part of something like this and meeting so many cool, like-minded folk.

While still on the subject of Dennis Kucinich ... this past week via the WashingtonPost.com website ... they're sponsoring [or hosting] conversations with the Democrat candidates. Here is link to transcript of conversation with Kucinich back on November 4th. Check it out:
