There are elections every year. Political strategy for 2005 should have started a while ago but for most of us there were bigger and better things to do.
The national scene is important, but the path back to power starts closer to home. While we can -- and should -- gnash our teeth over the cabenet and lobby the living daylights out of our senators on SCOTUS vacancies, the places we're most likely to make real impacts in the next 365 days are on the city/county level, and possibly with some ballot initaitives.
There's a lot of planning going on. Local efforts are stronger when they're networked, interlinked, part of a national agenda. Where do you think we should focus and on what?
