With fundraising totals for 2009 now having been reported, let's examine how the major candidates for statewide office fundraising efforts compare with their internet and social networking footprints entering 2010 (a similar earlier comparison courtesy Progress Florida’s summer 2009 intern Joe Eagleton may be found here). In addition to providing a snapshot of the internet presence for the leading 2010 candidates, this post provides links to easily find and follow their web and social networking activity. Feel free to comment with your own thoughts or analysis. Notes on the below information: Gubernatorial race I received a call from a friend who says she can't get emails through to me today. I checked my mailbox, it was only at 17%, so it wouldn't have kicked anything back automatically. It could be she just typed my address wrong, or it could be high-tech game playing in response to my email to the FBI early this morning on their Tips and Public Leads web form:
"Please immediately investigate convictions in which self-acclaimed DNA-discredited "scent evidence" experts were involved. Keith Pikett and John Preston both lied on the stand about their credentials. Please investigate the Associated Press, Gannett and any other news organization whose failure to disclose information forthrightly and in full skewered elections and recklessly endangered the public. Please advise me by return email that you will open an investigation today. The remainder of Pikett's and Preston's victims deserve hope for the holidays." Friends have claimed sporadically for years that they their emails to me get returned; I've been writing to the FBI sporadically for years, requesting that they adhere to their mandate to investigate public corruption that affects trial outcomes. The additional request to investigate news organizations may be ground I've covered before, but I'm not going to open each pdf to check. There's too many, and this day is already gloomy enough without me reminding myself how many times I've written "please" to the FBI. Incapable of introspection, the Polk County Sheriff's Office is on the Internet and Twitter, pressing for an execution.
From: Susan Chandler Date: October 6, 2009 2:39:18 AM EDT To: ljohnson@polksheriff.org Cc: Governor Charlie Crist , cig@eog.myflorida.com Subject: Bloodthirsty call-out on the taxpayer's dime Dear Polk County Sheriff's Office: Your bloodthirsty call-out on the taxpayer's dime for Paul Beasley Johnson's execution is inappropriate on too many levels to address. Topping the list is that the St. Petersburg Times doesn't think all of Polk County's prosecutions are righteous. Their September 2, 2007 editorial, "Justice demands a new trial" says that the evidence in Michelle Schofield's murder points to Jeremy Scott, not Michelle's husband, Leo Schofield, who's been behind bars for 20 years. The newspaper's 2008 tampabay.com database of DROP double dippers shows "pride in service" Sheriff Judd is collecting in $5,956.52 per month in "retirement" payments on top of his wages; as of last year, he'd collected $361,416.99. Our legislators have done as little to curb the DROP welfare-for-the-wealthy monster they created as they have in addressing our courts abysmal failure at self-policing. Without it in any way signifying that our courts have conducted themselves with candor, Florida still holds the national record for the most death row exonerations. An obvious example of judicial ineptness is that despite three related exonerations within one county, our judges still can't rightly remember that self-proclaimed "scent evidence" expert John Preston was resoundingly discredited, let alone trouble themselves to ask their IT department to do a word search and find the scores of other cases Preston's testimony tainted. Men were executed, others have been behind bars wrongfully for close to 30 years. "If I thought a particular prosecution was wrong or over zealous, I could not say so beyond closed doors," laments retired Metro-Dade officer Marshall Frank in his book "Criminal Injustice in America; Essays by a Career Cop." The book's first chapter damned the historically impoverished for caving in to peer pressure through the construction of a composite youthful offender named Gigo, for "garbage in, garbage out." In Frank's eyes, ghetto kids that cave to peer pressure are garbage; cop that cave to peer pressure are victims - now that I understand the mindset, I pity it. PIty aside, rabble rousing isn't in your job descriptions - use your home computers and cell phone on your own time, leaving your official positions out of any subsequent grisly death "appeals." Crist's priority is already death; he rushed to execute Wayne Tompkins and John Marek while he ignored obvious innocents like William "Tommy" Zeigler. Any attention Crist pays to Polk should be to Schofield, not Johnson. Since Crist's probably read about Polk County's finest playing Wii while executing a search warrant last month, he'd be wiser to finally heed my pleas to address wrongful convictions after all these years than to listen to y'all, especially since "Outrage" premiered on HBO last night.

Now it is our turn! APPEAL to your friends and ask them to sign our petition. APPEAL to your family and ask them to sign. APPEAL to your co-workers and ask them to sign. APPEAL to members of the clubs/associations you belong to and ask them to sign. APPEAL to anyone who will listen and ask them to sign. As of this e-mail, October 4, 2009, at 1830 hours, we have collected 2232 signatures on our petition drive. We have also mailed over 99 letters to Governor Crist. People from Iraq, France, Australia, Germany, Norway, and of course all over the US, have signed our petition. Deputy Sheriff T.A. Burnham’s widow signed the petition this morning! (See below) Most who have responded to this drive are from outside of our agency. WE CAN DO BETTER. As you read this, please ask the person next to you if they have signed the petition. If not, urge them to do so. …but don’t be too pushy. Some folks don’t believe in the death penalty and it is not our intentions to make anyone feel uncomfortable and/or force anyone into doing something they don’t believe in. To those of you who have responded: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! If you write a letter or offer comments on the petition, please keep them professional. Our intentions are not to attack Governor Crist, but rather to urge him to sign Johnson’s death warrant, and to do so without further delays. The number of petition signatures we have received has risen quickly. This is due to Sheriff Judd going public through his media resources. THANK YOU SHERIFF! …and finally, Governor Crist knows about this petition drive. Johnson’s lawyer knows about this petition drive. …and you can bet, Johnson knows too. Knowledge is a good thing, but actions are better. Join us in urging Governor Crist to take action by signing Johnson’s death warrant. It’s time to give Johnson’s lawyer one less client! The following link will take you directly to our on-line petition: http://www.gopetition.com/online/31124.html Below are two comments offered on the petition. The first is from D/S Burnham’s widow and the second from Darrell Beasley’s sister. (Darrell Beasley was another victim shot and killed by Johnson in January of 1981) Another comment, which I have not included, came from a man in Tampa General Hospital who is awaiting a heart transplant, yet he took the time to sign the petition and offer comments. I believe that two trials & convictions, one mistrial, over 28 years since this nightmare began, over 20 years on death row, and life at the taxpayers expense, has given Paul Johnson so much more than he gave his victims - Darrell Beasley, William Evans and my late husband, D/S Theron Burnham. I believe it’s time to see justice done and carry out the sentence imposed not once, but twice by the court. Don't you think it’s time? My name is Carol Beasley. Paul B Johnson shot and killed my brother Darrell Ray Beasley, Jan. 9th, 1981. Too many years have passed in allowance of this man to remain in our prison while we continue to pay for him to be there. Even though he is on death row, he has been allowed to LIVE his life out, whereas my brother's life was taken along with the two other gentleman so horridly. Unfortunately neither of my parents are alive to see the execution of this man. It is time for this to end! Linda M.

We will measure, trend, benchmark, and create models to ensure continuous quality service. "Pride in Service" Tallahassee, FL: August 25, 2009: Democrat gubernatorial candidate Michael E. Arth filed a set of grievances and proposals to the Rules Committee and Judicial Council of the Florida Democratic Party (FDP) today. The four page list of grievances, titled “The Democratic Party is Not Being Democratic,” include complaints regarding Arth being frozen out by the party leadership, the party’s breaking of neutrality in violation of democratic principles, and the PDP’s blatant support of another candidate long before the primary election, even while enforcing non-endorsement laws on their Democratic Executive Committees. The grievance also lists various proposed changes that would make the Democratic Party democratic. To go directly to Miami Herald's Blog where the grievance has been posted along with numerous comments go here:
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2009/08/democrat-bashes-undemocratic-democratic-party.html OR KEEP READING HERE: Read More » If ever there was an era in which to slash away at all those money-green umbilical cords linking Florida's well-endowed Big Mamas of economic development -- the real estate and commercial development interests that rule the roost -- to their dutiful, mostly obedient offspring -- the state legislators and other officials still sucking on their cash-cow teats -- well hell, you'd think this would be it. But just how widespread and effective such efforts will be, remains to be seen. Floridians of all stripes are going to have to demand that any politician whom they would even consider voting for, first publicly pledge allegiance to protecting and promoting the best interests of the state's working families, small businesses, and mismanaged natural resources, by growing a greener economy. So let's all take the time to turn up the globally warmed heat on Governor Crist, on his two most likely successors, Alex Sink and Bill McCollum, and on all the other Florida politicians, officials and regulators who like to talk a good environmental game, without ever actually playing to win. After all, wouldn't it make more than a little sense for the freaking Sunshine State to finally become a dynamic leader in supporting and promoting solar power and other Green business initiatives, like those featured in the 5-minute video, "Growing Green Jobs & Clean Energy in Sunshine State". Now is the time to transition Florida to the 21st century, no? This is interesting:
A recent opinion by the state attorney general gave cities the go-ahead to create Facebook pages, but warned that much of the content could be subject to public records law and would have to be retained. Even content on the pages of a city's online "friends" might be subject to public records law, Attorney General Bill McCollum said. Nor could elected officials engage in discussions with each other about items of public business on Facebook. Put simply, the core problem is that content posted on Facebook pages can be removed by the user that posts them or the the page's admin(s). This naturally violates the Sunshine laws, where open records are a key pillar. However, Facebook (and other social networking sites) offers another avenue for public officials and government to connect with their constituents. It also opens up new avenues for holding our leaders accountable, and in an age of a waning press, surely we can agree we need more avenues of communication and transparency rather than less. Either Florida has to update its Sunshine laws to reflect the reality of social networking sites and web 2.0 (and with our current legislature, I'm frankly a little worried about how the current crowd would "update" these important laws), or social networking sites like Facebook and others will need to set up new types of accounts for public officials to comply with existing laws. ...Just ask Senator Mike Bennett:
Bennett replied: "I look at the whole idea of a nonprinted media as terrifying. I realize the federal government can shut down a satellite and we lose all our unprinted media. Maybe you have more faith in government than I do." Hahahahahahahahahaha! Seriously, I might have lost a few pounds just by the sheer amount of laughing I did after first reading this. I can only assume Bennett is mainly referring to the Internet here. The Internet isn't stored in one place - it's a network of servers and routers around the world. It's not owned by any one company, person, or government. Can governments restrict internet access and usage? Yes (see: China, People's Republic of), but Bennett's quote is simply Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens-esque. On a more serious note, the Internet is an indispensable tool of commerce and communications here in the 21st century, and the fact legislators like Bennett are so ignorant about it is really, really bad. Change we can believe in:
As the centerpiece of the President's commitment to transparency and accountability, Recovery.gov will feature information on how the Act is working, tools to help you hold the government accountable, and up-to-date data on the expenditure of funds. It will be interesting to see how the new data coming into Recovery.gov will be displayed and organized. Needless to say, as both a geek and believer in government transparency, I'm pretty excited. This is exactly how our government should be using technology in the age of web 2.0, social networking, and websites driven by dynamic data and content. I'm more excited and hopeful to see the model set up by Recovery.gov to be used at the state and local level as well. The technology isn't rocket science as far as I understand and can be implemented easily elsewhere. What we lack is political will. In an editorial to the Ocala Star Banner last month, I said the following:
In the coming years, Florida will no doubt see more open campaigns, more open politicians and a more open government as the result of citizen-driven online infrastructure. Institutions, leaders and opinion makers who ignore the Internet or doubt its dramatic influence will do so at their own peril. I stand by the above statement, but I do think it might take Florida a little bit longer to do this than other parts of the country. The current crew running Tallahassee is pretty averse to the things I mentioned. However, I started my series of predictions with "more open campaigns", which means that's where a movement to more Internet-driven openness begins. Digressing from that point, let me say that one way our state could begin a new era of openness and citizen-driven online infrastructure is our state's current budget crisis. New York is experimenting with crowdsourcing (read: getting a number of people, mainly the public at large, involved with a particular project) it's massive budget shortfalls: yesterday at noon, the NY State Senate launched it's first step in making NY's government more transparent and accessible to all. while the site doesn't feature rounded corners, RSS feeds, or other wizz-boom-bang web 2.0 features, NYBudgetIdeas.org offers THE WORLD access to the NY State budget and four ways for you to suggest ideas to close the budget gap - text messaging, 800 number, webform, email. The site, again, is NYBudgetIdeas.org - check it out. The site is simple now, but as the author states, it will be built out in the future. In my view, there's no reason why we shouldn't have something like this in Florida. Again, I'm not holding my breath due to the folks who run Tallahassee today, but it's something to keep in mind in the not-so-distant future. Reposted from alterNET.
In the past few months, our communities showed that real, transformative change is possible. How did we get to this point? And where do we go from here? Where we are: The Fishbowl is Cracked. When I facilitate trainings for grassroots leaders, allies, and staff on why we do strategic communications work in relation to our community organizing I inevitably talk about hegemony. Hegemony is the common sense we have to challenge when we are trying to make change. The limits of collective imagination and understanding create the limits of the change we can make. Once, in a training, someone offered this metaphor: hegemony is the water the fish swims in, it shapes the fish's experience and determines understanding, it is everywhere. But hegemony isn't just the water the fish swims in; there are limits to the fish's world, hard edges beyond which the fish can't move - the fishbowl. In the past few months the hegemonic fishbowl our country's been living in has cracked. Crack #1 - The Economic Crisis Capitalism, as it has been talked about for the past 30 years, is in serious trouble and everyone knows it. The long time defenders of capitalism's rules are now breaking them. The free market is only free when profit is made and all (the rich) are happy. With the U.S. economy in shambles from unregulated exchange (free markets) the government is stepping in to nationalize the banks, a big no-no for capitalists. We have Congress dancing around an Auto Industry bailout to the point that even President George Bush took action to rescue the big three while at the same time saying that government should not interfere with the market (at least that's how I heard it). These cracks in the faith of capitalism are huge. Now more people can align themselves with alternative economics, as their reality and experience of capitalism shifts. It is up to us to put forward viable visions for economies based on principles of justice, self-determination, and people over profit. Crack #2 - The Presidential Race Millions of people were drawn to Barack Obama's campaign because of his message of change. His campaign did not rely on the Democratic machine (solely) but built its own movement, creating a broad umbrella of Hope and Change that many could fit under. The campaign drew in young African-Americans, and Latinos (who won the race for Obama in Florida, no thanks to young whites). It exposed many to activism, not at an issue level, but on a broad, almost movement level. This, plus the fact that Obama's campaign held him up as a community organizer, has placed new value - even new legitimacy - in the hands of progressive organizers. Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House also cracked our fishbowl. The possibility of a woman president or a Black president illustrated a shift in what is possible, what is the norm in the U.S. As much as Obama represented advances for racial justice, Clinton represented advances for women, turning narrow notions of who can lead on their head. Although neither of these advances directly changes systemic racism and patriarchy, they do demonstrate possibilities and stimulate imaginations of another world. Crack #3 - Mass Action Several weeks ago employees at the Chicago factory of Republic Windows and Doors occupied their workplace. The six day occupation was sparked by Bank of America refusing to extend a line of credit to the bosses to pay severance to employees as the factory closed. During this time President Elect Barack Obama said he supported the demands of the factory workers. The workers, members of the independent (not a part of the AFL-CIO) democratic United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE), took the militant action and demanded their severance essentially from a bank that had just received a government bail out. Obama's support of the workers is a signal not only to organized labor, but also to unorganized workers, it is a shift away from pro-business union busting neo-liberalism. This action signifies another smaller crack. There is a growing trend of militant trade unionism and workplace solidarity. Workers are no longer satisfied with big business unionism and are taking matters into their own hands. This is happening through the shell of the old, and with some help from sympathetic union officials. Militant worker action is happening outside of the sanctioned workers organizations, demonstrated by wild cat strikes of truckers in and around DC last spring, the growth in the number and power of independent worker centers, etc. Although the demands of the UE action were not as far reaching as those of workers who reclaimed and ran factories in Argentina during recent financially troubled times, the militancy of the action captured the imagination of rank and file workers across the globe. This crack is mass made, meaning it is an actual mass recognition of the limits of the fishbowl and intentional attempts to push beyond those limits. It is a qualitative change (shift in understanding of rights, of tactics) coming about after years of quantitative changes (loss of power of unions, loss of job security, shifting work force). It is this cycle of change we need to understand as we move forward. Where we're going: Adding More Cracks to the Fishbowl. Now that we can see some of these cracks in the fishbowl, we need to expand the cracks and create many more so that soon the fish bowl will just fall apart. Organize Now more than ever we need to build grassroots multi-racial organizations that fight against oppression and for expansion of gender, racial, economic, and human rights. These bread and butter campaigns improve material conditions through reform while developing the capacity for political and practical leadership from the grassroots. It is also through organizing that we can capture and keep a new generation of activists invigorated by the presidential election engaged in our ongoing struggle. These organizations are crucial as we expand our movement (see below) because they ground the fight in everyday conditions and realities and serve as incubators for leadership from oppressed communities, those who should be leading the fight. Communicate These smaller campaign fights have the potential to tap into that spirit of hope and change that Obama's campaign did, but only if mass numbers of people hear about them and are touched by them. Strategically communicating is not only about reaching targets of campaigns, or reaching constituents, it is about shifting the debate to create the space for victories, for inspiring a wide swath of people to support you and move with you. There is all sorts of new technology out there that allows this type of creative story telling to happen. This new media allows us to by-pass the traditional media that is stuck in the fishbowl. New technology democratizes dreaming and allows us to bypass the traditional media, which is stuck framing their news within the limits of the fishbowl. We need to utilize this power and create larger cracks that traditional media cannot ignore. Our frame has the potential to be the main frame. Elect Building from grassroots organizing to communications, there has to be a way to test our effectiveness in building consensus and support for our ideas and actions. The electoral arena gives us that space. This means forming new types of organizations beyond 501c3s and even c4s. We must build our own electoral machines that not only move candidates but also move messages. The right wing is amazingly effective at this tactic. With the use of ballot initiatives around what are often characterized as social issues, they mobilize and test their base. These issues, usually issues of abortion and gay marriage, are used in a narrow way to divide populations and encourage strife. The electoral tool has been under utilized by the left. While it has the ability to reach masses of people in a short amount of time and encourages them to take concise action it is not a replacement for community organizing, with its longer battles and fights and expanded opportunities of leadership development and deeper messages. Make Big Demands - Take Bold Action As capitalism is questioned from the left to the right, as millions are activated through self-interest to oppose the status quo in this crumbling economy it is time to make big demands based on big ideas and take bold action to garner attention and support. Let's not rely on platitudes, and dogmatism that only makes sense in our own little circles, let's push ourselves to reframe and repackage how we talk about things, to address where people now find themselves. We need to learn from actions taken by movements that have come before us and inspire us such as: sit ins and mass protests, lighting draft cards on fire, the Mississippi Freedom Party, Serve the people Programs, Gay Pride Parades, factory takeovers in Argentina, land takeovers in Brazil. Our action should draw on the vision of righteousness of these past actions and move beyond them, contextualize them, and make them bigger; not only in numbers but in vision and impact. Actions that capture this type of energy are eviction blockades in Boston organized by Vida Urbana/City Life, the tenant union organizing happening in Miami, and the "progressives for Obama" blog of activists and intellectuals committed to ensuring Obama doesn't drift to the center. Expand the Movement - grow or die If there is any hope of building a better world we must be more than the sum of our parts. With capitalism in decline in the U.S. and the emperor exposed as having no clothes, the time is ripe to build a broad movement big enough to not only hold Barrack Obama accountable to the interests of racial, economic, and gender justice, but big enough to actually shift society at the roots. Building a broad movement means building with sectors, organizations, and people who you may disagree with on particular issues. It is the job of principled leftists to mainstream our ideas and practices through engaging in coalitions, united fronts and movements, and winning people to our side, thus expanding our influence and pulling movements left. The fight is in the movement. The task of maintaining principled left ideals while engaging in broad coalitions, united fronts, and movements is difficult. There is always the question of the edge of one's politics; the point at which compromise is actually selling out a principled stance regardless of supposed unity or advances, and not compromising is a dogmatic clinging to the security of pure politics standing in the way of advancing the fight. But if we don't take risks and throw our lot in with hope and growth over guarded skepticism and stagnation (which is failure in the end), how can we reach the majority of people, how can we truly build a better world? Let our goals be our guides to making allies and naming enemies in each fight. Don't Get Ground Up by the Machine With an Obama victory I am closer now than I ever was to the White House. Friends of friends are getting appointments with the new administration. As much as this presidency signals a historic shift, it is still a presidency within the U.S., and therefore certain lines must be maintained. Those friends who move inside the administration will certainly be forced to hold those lines, and those of us on the outside have to be clear about those dividing lines as well. Now is the time to take advantage of the cover of an Obama presidency and build independent organizations, electoral machines, and movements. We must understand the limitations of the positions of the president, and make our role be to change the ground beneath his feet. We can't just get excited by the cracks in the fish bowl, we have to see them for what they are: the work of people trying to change the world (I know how hokey that sounds). Without constant pressure, without trying to push more people through those cracks and expand them, we will find that they disappear as those invested in the fishbowl (and the fish) staying right where (and how) it is work to reinstate the status quo. Now is the time to get out our hammers and start swinging. Read More » If you're a regular news reader, you probably have heard about the continuing decline of the traditional press, particularly newspapers:
For newspapers, the news has swiftly gone from bad to worse. This year is taking shape as their worst on record, with a double-digit drop in advertising revenue, raising serious questions about the survival of some papers and the solvency of their parent companies. The Florida press corps hasn't been spared this decline either: ...we're witnessing the steady depletion of a capital press corps that has long been regarded as one of the strongest in the country. That's bad for democracy. I can't say I've ever really been a fan of the press. There are some really great reporters and columnists which still operate in the traditional press, but I lament the sheer lack of coverage of state and local politics that has existed even before this latest round of layoffs. The traditional press has been largely complicit, and indeed an enabler, in a lot of the failed politics and policies of the last quarter century. Their obsession with so-called "balance", no matter how factually wrong or inaccurate one side of a story is, has to get the same amount of ink as the other side. This foolishness has led to loads of stories and print space on global warming skeptics, despite the fact that overwhelming scientific consensus says otherwise. The traditional press has coddled and protected columnists which have also been proven factually wrong in their editorials over and over again, yet still maintain their same posts to continue to mislead the public. The result has been a weakened and less informed democracy, which has hurt everyone. However, some coverage of politics, even crappy coverage, is always better than no coverage at all. I know some in the new media realm, particularly the blogosphere, are probably saying to themsleves "They're just getting what they deserve." That may be partially true, but a weakened press hurts all of us, and it's an issue everyone should pay attention to and care about. So as the traditional press shrinks, what exactly is taking it's place? Many thought in the recent past that newspaper online editions would simply take the place of printed papers. That hasn't been the case, as online ad revenues are much smaller than traditional print ads. Others are saying that blogs will take the place of newspapers. As a blogger, I'm not so sure about this. Blogs are great, but they produce mostly editorial content. Very few produce original content. Most blog posts link to news stories originally put together by reporters on the ground. However, blogs can, and probably will, continue to evolve. Technologies already exist out there which can provide everyday citizens with the online tools they need to report on stories and essentially create their own newspaper. Free and open-source content management systems like Blogger, WordPress, and Drupal have the capability of doing these things. All three of these platforms are also really easy to set up and configure. Even if blogs get to this point, it won't be because they're doing it for free. Like newspapers today, these newsblogs of the future will need reliable revenue streams. Currently, this seems to be the biggest mystery of all for both the traditional press and upcoming new media. Can online advertising catch up fast enough? Only time will tell. I'll be live blogging the Florida Netroots Convention today.
