		<description>[Subject]    StateDemocracy.org Equips You for the 2008 Elections

Dear Citizen: 
Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections?   How about your friends, family, and neighbors?   
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out!  Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
	Are you registered to vote?  If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
	Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot?  Do you know your state may not require any reason?  
	Can you find your local Polling Place?  Do you know it may have changed from last time?
The answers to these questions -- and all your voting needs -- can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org -- the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop!   StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools.  
In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states.  You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place. 
Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy
StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected.  And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.
As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.
LobbyDelegates.com Further Empowered Grassroots Voices
Over the past 5 months, you may have visited www.LobbyDelegates.com, along with 26,000 other visitors.  This latest public interest portal by the StateDemocracy Foundation remained the only online tool enabling rank-and-file Democrats to lobby all 800+ Super Delegates on which candidate to back for the party’s Presidential nomination.  
StateDemocracy Foundation Website Users Unite!
Many of you have used our StateDemocracy.org and LobbyDelegates.com tools in recent times, and have hopefully found your experience uplifting and empowering.  I encourage all of you to help spread the news about StateDemocracy.org to enable more of our fellow citizens to Connect!  Engage! And Empower!
Sincerely,
Ken Laureys, Executive Director
StateDemocracy Foundation

		<description>Comrades should get off their high horses for a moment.

The list is widely publicised online and in print once it has been made available.

It has been conceived and publicised by the biggest Tory blog in the land, and will somewhat be skewed toward right-wing blogs.

But is this not a good opportunity to get left blogs and socialist ideas out to a wider audience?</description>

		<description>I'm sure you'll be disappointed (but not at all surprised) to learn that 'voting by email' was added as an afterthought.

Iain didn't even realise that accepting anonymous votes under comments might not be a good idea until someone pointed it out to him. Even now, it appears that you can leave an anonymous vote under comments so long as you 'give a name'.

Personally, I've never taken part in this charade. I've felt that doing so would lend it credibility that it doesn't deserve.

Nothing has changed this year. Iain Dale is a fraud, a cheat and a bald-faced liar...

...and I refuse to legitimise his annual chart scam in any way.</description>

		<description>Weirdly they have several left of Labour blogs down under the Labour supporting category and not in the left wing category on the Total Politics site. Don't forget the Green category too.

Even more weirdly they have Harry's Place under the Left wing section and not under Labour supporters.</description>
