... in the good old USA will need some sorts of funding mechanisms that are not currently readily available. A kind of in house socially conscious venture capital firm to fund the startups of someof the kinds of activities that are being called for. check out this article and comment or add what you think or find.

How to start it? Solicit funds on dialogD blog and Web Site.And a Constitutional Amendment 527 funding and organizing committee in each state who then hire and train Working America type laborers who then form a new kind of community based viral labor and progressive Union Party… a real world boots on the ground dialogD organizing presence in each state, ultimately in each congressional district, and so on…

More From Soolay Saul...
Getting back to relevent questions about the almost farcical nature of the so called bipartisan "debate" and the big money mainstream sporting event styled selection of the head of our "Democratically chosen" Executive Branch".
Which again, is not anything that shouldn't be more widely discussed and isn't much in the mainstream and only points ou more the need for "Something completely different..." just like old Cactus Ed used to say. Anyway check out the links:

And this one from Portland Saul...

The Chicken Doves
by Matt Taibbi
Quietly, while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been inspiring Democrats everywhere with their rolling bitchfest, congressional superduo Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have completed one of the most awesome political collapses since Neville Chamberlain. At long last, the Democratic leaders of Congress have publicly surrendered on the Iraq War, just one year after being swept into power with a firm mandate to end it.Solidifying his reputation as one of the biggest pussies in U.S. political history, Reid explained his decision to refocus his party’s energies on topics other than ending the war by saying he just couldn’t fit Iraq into his busy schedule. “We have the presidential election,” Reid said recently. “Our time is really squeezed.”

Saully you little welp start posting...
I know it's like dropping a couple raindrops into the ocean but we have to start doing this on a daily basis. With that in mind here are a couple of links from today's school snow day number one of the season:
http://www.ourfuture.org/take-back-america-2008
and of course, there's the tried and true:
http://www.commondreams.org/
Now, ultimately we have to do more than just find something of interest and post the link to whatever .org or article or book or writer or god forbid current political operative or office holder. Once we have the blogging going on a real consistent basis we have to start emailing our blog and main Web Site links to these people and solicit both organizational collaboration and financial support for some of the specific things we propose as we get going.
Ciao, Brew

Hey Soolay Saul Where Are You???
...but I know- I got no one to blame for my own moribund progress than me. And life keeps proceeding a pace at an alarmingly rapid pace. Sooo...

So, Brother, there is this book discovered today which relates to I think some of what I want to be calling for:
http://natureandthehumansoul.com/newbook/default.htm
and here's some blurbs about it- come to think of it- that's all available on the site linked to there including a sample chapter. Very related to Thomas Berry's "The Great Work" I think.

It doesn’t get to be much more of an old haunt than this: The Olde Arcade- or is that Ye Olde… I don’t know. And here I sit, typing on a laptop. Session one of maybe two today whilst out on the obligatory walkabout. And what a nostalgic walkabout it’s been- and here’s the route so far and the plan for what to do after I finish this journalizing/work session and make my way to the next stop at the downtown Cleveland Public Libury, or, as we radical activist peacenix like to refer to it: The People’s University. Any way:
1. Parked the car on East 25th and headed downtown on Superior to E.13th where I cut through first the newly redone Reserve Square Market and now Soup and Salad joint. Looked pretty inviting and I almost bought a bottle of Green Jalapeno sauce for a buck.
2. From there I cut up Rockwell to the former Ohio Savings Bank building and through the tunnel under Chester to the other side and passed what should have been me and Pete’s segue (sic) into the Wine and Food Biz aka Cork and Beans, up the stairs and out onto the street- Euclid Ave in this case.
3. Here I half expected to see that homeless guy that’s been a perennial here since just about me getting back to Cleve-A-Burg in the late 80’s. He’s got Nawlins roots of some sort but I don’t remember his name if in fact I ever new it. I ain’t sure.
4. Then it’s down the Ave to a piss here and now the session. When I leave here I plan on:
5. Cutting back across Euclid and through the other two Arcades to Prospect, on down to Tower City, maybe another piss and water stop- actually probably that will be done here, some free food samples at the food court, and back up to Superiour through Public Square and to the aforementioned Libury session.
6. Back to the car will be fairly direct except for I will cut through the Olde Galleria and then on up St. Clair to E.24th, up to Rockwell there and through Chinatown Jake to 25th and the Stratus. Yeah, the Olde Stratus.
