The Notorious Banksters

Dear Folks,

See below.  The information below is enormously important. The power of corporations and their Wall St cohorts has increased exponentially as it is now concentrated in a one percent group (roughly 400 families and individuals) who have great power in politics. We are, as Chris Hedges writes, the colonized and they are the colonizers.

However, we still have free speech on so many levels that they do not yet control: emails, youtube, facebook, twitter, etc.  Most of all our geeks are mobilizing over l000 volunteers nationally under the Democratic National Committee to get out the vote on a level that has never occurred in a mid-term election. They will not be going house-to-house but rather email to email, twitter to twitter, etc. As in the 2012 election, they will seek people's deepest interests and needs and show them the democratic party meets those needs and interests. This is how we will counter the millions and millions going into Republican advertizing by the Koch Brothers and other billionaires.

Urgent

Dear Folks,

Any one of  us attending to the news have heard the Fox folk inventing one invective after the other about Obama. A few months ago they characterized him as a “dictator” and “tyrant” when he began to make presidential decisions, especially removing the filibuster in the Senate that blocked needed leaders of his administration. Now, with the Putin initiatives, Republicans of every stripe, from the old-timers such as McCain to Rand Paul, attached him for being weak and ineffective. The fact is that this president is one of the smartest and indeed geek--like in our history and draws brilliant people into his orbit. As evidence of this, his Chicago election campaign was able to identify young people needs to democratic party values so effectively that over 30 million additionally voted for him. Geeks, using the sophisticated statistical methods popularized by Ned Silver led in this achievement.

Some of these and others also recently led the way in healing the tech problems of Obama Care in six weeks. Their story is in a banner article, entitled “Code Red” in the March l0 issue of Time. An amazing group. I want name as many as I can with their backgrounds for a very good reason in which I enlist your help. They are Ryan Panchadsaram, engineer and Presidential Innovation Fellows, Todd Park, chief tech officer of the US, Obama aid Jeffrey Zients who was one key leader, Jini Kim, former google product manager, Paul Smith, former Democratic party tech officer, Gabriel Burt, rocket scientist and chief technological officer at Chicago’s Civis Analytics (Civis is now the commercial home of Obama’s campaign whiz kids), Mikey Dickerson, Google site reliability engineer who took a leave to be on Obamas’s election team and with Zients, led the team. Also added were  Mike Abbott, who had corrected Twitter’s technology and Marty Abbott, C TO of EBay.

Folks, we need this team back in Washington or Chicago to take back the House in November and keep the Senate democratic. The person for each of us to contact is Denis McDonough, the White House Chief of Staff who was deeply involved in the selection of the above team. His address is the White House’s: l600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, DC, 20500. I do not have his e-mail. We can also connect more directly via www.whitehouse.gov
