I too read the poll Daniel mentioned in an earlier post [1], and I am horrified. We are looking at possibly the lowest primary turn out in history.

That maybe primaries need to be done away with, yeah we need to have that conversation. But right now the issue is that people really see no reason to, like we say in Puerto Rico, trade a known devil for an unknown one.

Constituents are not connecting at all with the race because there is no sense of urgency about beating the Republicans. New York City has become such a conservative place that they'll go red again just because they can. And the Democrats at the national level seem to be clueless.

So here's my proposal. I refuse to have this site become a stealth PAC for any single candidate. It's just not in our best interest to do so. But since we all agree New York City needs to move left, let's start a Get Out The NYC Vote campaign during the next 13 days.

Use this post to generate discussion and ideas around this issue. What I'd like to see? I'd like to get this GOTV national. Get your friends in other states call or email their NYC friends regularly until the 13th. If people are willing to do this, I will even go as far as setting up the Advokit software [2] or the CiviCRM module as a stand alone [3] so that we can really do this effectively.

Since neither the DNC, DFA or MoveOn are interested in getting the vote out in NYC, we need to take this up on by ourselves.

Who's with me?
