Reporting Back to MoveOn

[For the Record, the MINUTE TAKER will post the text of an email sent to MoveOn PAC on the onset of the fourth week without progress on Operation Democracy.]

Hello MoveOn --

The MINUTE TAKER would like to report back on the results of six weeks of Operation Democracy (1/3 of the way to the election!). The record plainly shows a mixture of modest gains, promising energy, and opportunities for further growth. The MINUTE TAKER has, for the record, tried to keep MoveOn Minutes as anonymous as possible -- so as not to disrupt the participation of other volunteers. Rather, the Minutes must be taken for the sake of recording the process of progress!

Recently, however, the MINUTE TAKER's former team has ceased to exist, and attempts to find still-functioning group entities have been fruitless. The only explanation given is to wait for an email -- but the record will show that waiting is the hardest part! Democracy must operate as soon as possible if the MINUTE TAKER and fellow residents of XXX are to help TAKE BACK CONGRESS! We are all hopeful (presumably) that MoveOn is working its hardest to get us up and running again.

In the meantime, the record will have to show that as of tonight, the Project Red Handed Home Base makes the following announcement:
"Downloadable signs (will be available Friday, Aug 4)"

As the email header shows, today is Aug 6th.
The MINUTE TAKER would be happy to get on with the Project as a maverick Operative -- but unfortunately, that seems to be a delayed opportunity.

But in the meantime, the MINUTE TAKER has already had an early start at Project Red Handed (without those clever red foam hands, unfortunately!) so let this email be an official report to MoveOn and, hopefully for the record, all of Operation Democracy!

This cartoon (Operation Democracy Illustrated Vol 1) will make for a great front page inclusion on the estimable Caught Red Handed page. (Here is the post that this comic depicts.)

Finally, can you direct the MINUTE TAKER to the proper address of the Operation Democracy Blog? Surely the campaign has such an online presence. Suffice it to say that the record would be greatly enhanced if the MoveOn Minutes could 'hyperlink' to Operation Democracy bloggolalia!

--MINUTE TAKER, awaiting MoveOn's updates.
