Having been very active during the Primary and my wife very active during the General Election, we went to lots of victory parties!
The omnipresent question was "What now?"
I met Stan at such a party and, being of like mind and sense of making something happen, he and I decided to answer that question. So, we met a couple of times and exchanged some email and phone calls and Stan wrote up a document explaining our ideas.
Then we invited a group of people to my house to discuss the document. This blog contains my thoughts from that meeting....
We had several of the "Crew Chiefs" from the Obama 'Campaign for Change' who were the folks that managed several precincts during the campaign. We also had some folks who may not have had titles but worked their tails off most of the year toward the same goal. (I don't want to post names here as I did not get permission for that).
Ruby, from OrangePolitics.org, was there as was the chair of the Democratic Party and a local elected official.
In all, ten people.
