Gather Democrats-The Name

As a frustrated citizen who is unhappy with the status quo do nothing Republican Congress, and believing Bush's failed "Stay The Course" strategy in Iraq is a dangerous and turbulent road for America to travel down, I plugged into the 2006 Elections early this year.

In September, wanting to spread the word (as it were), and hoping to recruit more Democrats at the Grassroots level, I joined www.gather.com and formed a group there called Gather Democrats (Formed officially on October 13th, 2006) , as it is what all of this is about...gathering Democrats from across America, organizing citizens to take back our government from Big Business, and special interest lobbyist.

Now, it seems Gather see's the brilliance of my idea, and wants to TAKE THE NAME for themselves. We shall see what develops as this story unfolds.

Gather Democrats 2008

The 2006 midterm elections are one week away, and with any luck, Democrats will take back the Congress. I have been working hard here in New York's 19th District for John Hall as he tries to unseat incumbent Tom DeLay Republican Sue Kelly.

Looking forward to 2008, I created Gather Democrat's over on www.gather.com to gather all of us together to take back the White House in 2008. This blog is a part of my own efforts to build Gather Democrats into a grassroots effort nation wide aimed at winning back the White House, and electing Democrats nationwide.

I hope many of you will join this movement, and contribute articles and comments on a regular basis.
