Glad you landed on your feet, and that you're taking the fight forward.

I'm the IT Director of a non-profit in D.C.—how can I volunteer with the (tech side of the) campaign?

Good. The Kerry campaign website needs a human touch.

FYI, there were some comments (including one from me as LFinMN) on the Kerry website today at Daily Kos: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/3/11/232218/987

My main complaint right now is that the Kerry campaign is sharing its fundraising data more freely with the press than their own website readers. I read in the press that Kerry raised 7 million online in the week since Super Tuesday. Why isn't that reported on the site?

My second complaint is that the Kerry blog is boring as hell. The best post I've ever seen there was about their damn newt dying. That ought to tell you something.

Glad to hear! Now, I think a lot of people would like to hear from you. Many of us got the inside scoop on the Dean campaign, because their net kids were very open... we'd like to see the insides of Kerry now. Oh, and we'd all like to see you post here again, too.

Congrats!

Greetings Back from Switzerland! ;-)

Good luck, Cam!

Congratulations on the pursuits, Cam! Good luck in everything you do!

Congrat on the new position! Kerry's lucky to have your skills aboard his team. How would I go about getting involved with what your doing for Kerry on a volunteer (or paid) basis in Chicago?

I'm so glad you're on board here Cam. Hopefully the Internet community can contribute significantly to the success of this campaign. Let's not allow this to become simply an "echo chamber" but rather a real medium of change.

Congrats on landing work and for keeping in the fight!! Welcome to DC, where there is much confusion about technology and how to use it for good so that the citizens benefit.

Congrats, man! Help burn the Bush!

Hello:

I was so happy to see you post again. I've been following your blog for a few years now. Congratulations on your new job. I hope to be involved the same way but for the federal election in Canada coming up this spring. Your an inspiration.

Cheers

Way Cool Cam! Show'em the light and let's hope the traditionalists go bump in the night...actually, for the sake of the country, let's hope you do not have as many traditionalists in senior roles as we had in LR. Best of luck to you...JOhn

I just checked out your site - where are the cameras, man?

;-)

Glad you're back in action & good luck with the Kerry campaign. Carpe Diem! Seize the White House!

Heh. I forgot to sign the above post - sorry about the unintentional anonymity. Guess I lost myself for a sec.

just to say i used to enjoy your camworld site a lot and am glad you are back writing for it. thanks!

How do you use technology and online community to acheive the goal of changing the administration?

That's the question of the day!

This is the "day after" for us at bush2004.com and we're looking to assimilate the lessons learned at SXSW, particularly at the moveon.org, Joe Tripp and political blog panels (yours).

I am glad I have a "face" to associate with your work now, Cameron. If you can put a "face" on the Kerry campaign and make people feel they're on the inside looking out that will be half the battle.

My challenge today is to get the BushBlog at http://bush2004.com re-organized by installing the latest moveabletype module on our Red Hat box and to move beyong the "bloki" model. We're putting out a call for volunteers.

For those that don't know, bush2004.com is a "parody, satire" site. We're not the official site.

Anbody but Bush. Anyone. Enough of that asshole.

Cam, good luck with the nominee's campaign. I just hope the Kerry people aren't too conservative about using the online medium. I've been waiting to see something that even approaches what the Dean people had nine months ago, and ... nothing so far.

Let's see what the Dean campaign announces tomorrow in the way of lending support to Kerry's online efforts.

The Dean campaign could help Kerry out a whole lot - they've really got the ticket to gettting lots of free media exposure on the late night talk shows. Can they teach Kerry how to get all red-faced and go "yeeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhh?"

That would rule.

Cam

It appears some Clark Bloggers find Issues and Policy boring... to bad... Kerry Bloggers seem to find it fascinating and attribute the finesse by whcih Kerry Bloggers discuss these things to be an attribute to the Kerry Campaign.

No other campaign had an Issues Section quite like the Kerry Forum. The Kerry Blog and Forum may not be all fun & games, but Kerry is the nominee... it appears his Blog & Forum must be doing something right!

How can Bush be so selfish as to ask Katherine Harris, the Florida election official vilified by Democrates for her role in the 2000 presidential recount, announced Friday she will not run for the Senate.

The White House had wanted her to stay out of the race, for fear her candidacy would produce a big turnout among angry Democrats and hurt President Bush's chances of carrying Florida this year.

The most shameful thing I have ever read is that Rep. Katherine Harris, the Florida election official vilified by Democrats for her role in the 2000 presidential recount, announced Friday she will not run for the Senate. The White House had wanted her to stay out or the race, for fear her candidacy would produce a big turnout among angry Democrats and hurt President Bush's chances of carrying Florida this year. How cruel to ask someone to put their dreams and asperations on hold just to please a self-conceited individual.

Would John Kerry please point out that we and 24 other nations being included by Bush in his "coalition" are not operating under Bush's orders in his attempt to tranquilize the angry Islamics through the use of bullets.
Twentyfive nations are there to help repare the damage. The American voter should be told emphatically that we object to being put at risk of retaliation by the Islamic people.

If Bush says Kerry is for raising taxes, what is deficit spending? Isn't that a delayed tax? And what about the soldiers who are dying? Can you pay a higher tax than your life?

Well, Good luck, Cam; Good luck Kerry. Paolo, a visitor from the other side of the Atlantic.

I am so glad to see the you are helping the Kerry campaign. I loved all your work for Clark04! I hope the Kerry campaign uses your knowledge to its fullest. I know you can help them a lot.

some video you should comsider for Kerry's website

I just had to reply to a few of the comments above.

First of all, leaving anti-Kerry comments here for the campaign is a ridiculous gesture. Very few people from the Kerry campaign are likely to read your comments, and even if they did it would not be the people who have the power to make any changes to John Kerry's stances or policies.

Secondly, the opposition really needs to go find a bettter use of their time. It's pretty sad that you have resorted to leaving such low behavior. I realize you support your candidate, just as I support mine (because he is the DNC nominee). I accept your decision and respect it. Why you cannot do the same for me and respect my blog and my points of view is beyond me, except perhaps it's an obvious sign of immaturity and ignorance. If that's the world you choose to live in, then so be it; I cannot help you.

Go, Cam, go!

It'll be a challenging position, I'm sure. Many have felt that blogging and the Internet in general, while motivating people who are sitting at their desks, haven't gotten them off their asses to talk to their neighbors and actually make it to the polls. I don't know if this is true--it's certainly been a good money-raising tactic--but I hope you'll be able to find better ways to convert Internet-based political activities into actual votes.

It would be a big, big boost for Kerry to get involved with http://www.wavecrestlabs.com and be seen riding his own electric bike or electric car; the best alternative to republican oil thugs

People I talk to aren't sure what the facts are or the best course to take is regarding the economy, NAFTA, terrorism, etc. I'm beginning to think there is only one choice for Kerry to make that really matters: VP. Among the electrifying, vote-getting options, I see only three: McCain, Hillary or Oprah. No one else has the cache, the larger than life presence, the metaphoric qualities of these three. Bush will dump Cheney (for health reasons they'll say) and chose Guilliani or Powell. Who's going to beat either of those two if they're not superstars, if we're not thinking "outside the box."

Congratulations! I am so glad that someone out there is so smart. We need both brains and heart to stop what is happening. You seem to have both. Bon Chance.

Don't let Rumsfeld discredit John Kerry. Rumsfeld said he knew exactly where the weapons of mass destruction were before we attacked Itaq. To this date, not one ounce of wmd have been found and Bush attacked the wrong country. Most of the men that took down the World Trade Center were from Saudi Arabia.

Doesn't anyone recall the news photos of Rumsfeld smiling with Saddam Hussein when we were allies with Saddam in his war with Iran under Republican presidents? This is the same Saddam that was later put on an axis of evil and we used very toxic depleted uranium bombs on Iraq which may be responsible for so many of our soldiers in Desert Storm being ill.

How can I get involved with what you are doing on a paid basis in Southern Middle Tennessee?

I have some experience in that field!

Thanks

It's pretty clear the CCN came closest to a useful blog, and that BFA was best at giving supporters tasks.

I just hope they listen to you.

ONE suggestion... CCN felt too fragmented. Notbecause of the many users/groups, but because they were not condensed well enough -- there were too many 'main pages'. Keep it SimpleSimpleSimpleSimple!

GLUCK

hope they take your advice
