Who is... Malcolm Nance

5/13/2019

Malcolm Nance is frequently a commentator on MSNBC. His commentary seems outrageous. Should we listen to him?   I believe he is a credible analyst.
I am going to read his latest book:  "The Plot to Destroy Democracy".
A quote from the start of the book: “...Putin’s dream, the real goal must be attained: Put and end to liberal democracy in America and Europe and bring about a worldwide     conservative renaissance”. So, is he a conspiracy theorist? Or a good analyst who writes a lot and speaks on MSNBC.
Invitation: I will host a “Cookies and Conversation” event to discuss the ideas in the book in late June. Read the book; we could have an interesting event.

Postcards for Progress

5/2/2019

Postcards for Progress Team is taking a break right now and will be back in the fall of 2019.

The human connection. The personal touch. These are our most effective tools to inform in the face of apathy, to reach the otherwise occupied and to motivate both friends and strangers to act.

But we can establish the human connection in ways other than the stressful cold call, or ringing a stranger’s doorbell; ways that are both effective and dare I say it, fun!

I know: Let’s have a party! A postcard party. And here’s the thing: Hand written messages really work.

It’s the human touch. Perhaps because we are so accustomed to communicating using a keypad, the impact of receiving a note that someone has taken the time to write by hand and perhaps even decorate, impresses us. The urgency of a cause or the virtue of a candidate is magnified several times over a television ad or even an email. Think about it – when is the last time someone took the time to write you a handwritten note or letter and how did it make you feel?

Since well before the 2018 election, we’ve been getting together regularly in groups of five or ten or even thirty at private homes (such as ours) or public spaces and written cards to get out the vote. We urge our legislators to act or thank them for doing so, educate voters and even officials on the importance of the issues on environment, health care and education. We ask people to remember universal human dignity in a nation and world where dehumanization of the “other” makes up daily “tweets” of so called leaders and the rants of TV and radio hosts.

And it works. And it is fun. So join us! See old friends and make new ones. “Buddy up” to do other activities. Talk, exchange ideas on what and how to write. If you are artistically inclined, decorate the graphics on the printed postcards, have a snack -- and make a difference.
