I have decided to get back into the blogging thing. It's been a while and I am a little rusty so bear with me.
First thing I wanted to get out there is that I have decided to back Barack Obama and am going to try and organize a fundraiser. Trouble is, I have never organized anything like this in my life. If anyone knows anything about fundraising or knows somebody who has experience, please let me know. I haven't settled on a theme or anything yet so suggestions are welcome. I am hoping to have the event sometime this summer. That way I can avoid trying to rent a space and maybe just have the thing at a park and rent a tent or something. Anyway, it's still in it's infancy but hopefully I can get it to grow up quick. Pass this on to anyone you think can help.

About Me

- I am intersted in politics, community work, history and write about just about whatever comes into my head. Sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's not so good. Anybody who finds themself like minded is asked to email me a suggested post.

I actually know a lot about political fundraising now. Wish I had known all this a year ago, but time moves on... One outcome of this recent election is that I'm going to work on helping people become and stay involved in politics, and fundraising is a very important part of it.
There are a lot of ways to raise money - a big sort of festival is certainly one, but you might want to start with a more limited project. Not to talk you out of it entirely, but there's plenty of time at the moment - you might end up doing more than one thing. I'm sure that there would be a lot of interest in helping Barack Obama in Rogers Park.
Maybe we could sit down for an hour or two and I could run through things I know, and you could expand on your ideas. Maybe at Ennui? Email if you're interested: tom at ilmechliens dot com
Oh, and welcome back.
