The Committee to ReDefeat the President
e-mail I got today...


Please join us SUNDAY OCTOBER 26th in San Jose for the launch of The Committee to ReDefeat the President, a new political action committee. From 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Valencia Hotel at 355 Santana Row in San Jose we will rally to watch the Democratic presidential candidates debate. Tickets range from $100 to $10,000 (depending on net worth) and may be purchased online at www.redefeatbush.com/ca-launch. Food and drink will be available, and a discussion of redefeating Bush will follow the televised debates.

The Committee to ReDefeat the President is an independent expenditure committee not affiliated with any candidate. Headquartered on the Internet at www.ReDefeatBush.com, its will channel volunteer activities into effective political action to defeat President Bush. Its goal is to harness tens of thousands of volunteer hours to register one million new Democratic voters in key states and get them to vote on election day 2004.

In cooperation with other organizations the Committee will sponsor nationwide Tuesday Night Democratic Clubs. These gatherings at WiFi-enabled hotspots will enable activists with laptops and cell phones to make phone calls to households that are likely to register as Democrats but are not currently registered to vote. To raise the money necessary to underwrite its activities the Committee will seek online contributions, sponsor events and sell branded merchandise, which will be available at the event.

The host committee includes Harry Saal, the founding CEO of Smart Valley, Inc. and president of Cultural Initiatives Silicon Valley; Tara Lemmey, former president of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, founder of several start-ups and current CEO of LENS Ventures; and David Scott Carlick, Managing Director, Internet 3.0 Group, VantagePoint Venture Partners.

"We can have a major impact on the outcome by helping to channel volunteer enthusiasm into politically effective activities," said founder David Lytel. Lytel is a former Internet adviser in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in the first Clinton Administration, where he oversaw the construction and operation of the award-winning White House Web site. Subsequently, he was co-founder of Democrats.com, the largest independent community of Democrats.

Please join us for this event. We beat him once, let's beat him again!

2. SoCal, I can't get your link to work. But, can this be the beginning of
George Soro's funding to register new Democrats? I believe that was his goal. Sure sounds like it.

Good for them! And, hopefully good for us!
