Instead of complaining about the fact that the Washington D.C. Democrats are out of touch and don't understand the new Grassroots Democratic and Progressive movements which are moving across the nation, we need to retrain the inside the beltway Democrats. Here's what's happening. The Roots Project is collecting money to buy copies of "Crashing the Gate" (click-through the book on the right-hand side of this on-line magazine) at a 37% discount, and they are going to hand-deliver the books to all 250 Democratic Congresspersons and Senators.
If you want to contribute, click here. If nothing else, it will be a demonstration of what those elected officials are facing when they attempt to ignore the grassroots.
Update May 17, 2006
This is from FireDogLake:
"If you haven’t purchased a copy for the project and would like to do so, you can go to this page — which provides all the information on how to order, including the fact that the independent bookseller we’re using is giving everyone a 37% discount (which isn’t reflected on the online ordering page, but will be reflected on your billing, just fyi)."[Underlining is mine - RB]Christy Hardin Smith says that they are halfway to the goal of 250 copies, and they are looking for volunteers in Washington to help deliver them.
