It's All About Me, Man

I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: Announcing Roadmap to Progress: A State of the Union Event

 

Hey Sam,

Thanks for the update. I've been very discouraged about the 3rd Bush term that we're (barely) surviving - it looks like Obama is preparing to dismantle crucial parts of the country in ways that Bush failed to, just as Clinton won major battles in the war on poor people and labor that Reagan lost (see, for example, Mike Whitney's article "the most business friendly president ever?" at http://counterpunch.org/whitney01242011.html)

Anyway, if your hiphop and environmental people have any ideas about how we can stop the current Republican president from dismantling our social security safety net and business regulation (as well as continuing his war on world stability, the environment, and most everything that we care about, it seems) and how we can elect somebody who's really going to look out for the people (like McKinney, Nader, or Kucinich) I'll be there!

Matt

PS Tell Sean Gardner that it's not very damn likely he has a better record collection than I do.  I'll put my record collection up against his any time.

Hi Matt. As the country looks forward to President Obama's State of the Union Address tomorrow, the League is ready to join the conversation with our most exciting online party yet: Roadmap to Progress: The 2011 State of the Union (#BarackTalk on Twitter). Tomorrow night at 8:15pm, the League will broadcast live from the New Organizing Institute's headquarters in D.C., where we've assembled a panel of cultural and political leaders - including Chuck Creekmur, the founder of AllHipHop.com, and Jessy Tolkan, environmental movement guru - to discuss the President's Speech before it happens and come back after the fact for an open dialog about the next two years of politics. With your help, we can make this the kickoff of our 2011 and 2012 organizing.

This is our chance to contextualize modern political discourse for the Millennial Generation and start talking about the 2012 Presidential Election right now. Tomorrow, Obama addresses the Nation. And we would love to have you involved in our online watch party. 36 Hours Out, still so much to do:

  1. RSVP on Facebook and let us know you'll be there.
  2. Catch Biko @ 3:30 Eastern this afternoon on MSNBC, where he'll be promoting Roadmap to Progress with Chuck Creekmur from AllHipHop.
  3. Participate tomorrow night at youngvoterlive.com and #BarackTalk on Twitter.
  4. In D.C.? RSVP for our afterparty, hosted by Rock the Vote!

From Texas to Maine, California to Brooklyn, the League of Young Voters Education Fund is ready to make 2011 our biggest year of volunteer based activism and artistic organizing yet. We are honored to have you involved and hope you'll celebrate our great Union together, tomorrow.

peace

Sam Patton
