Outreach to states

     Open comment to Alex: what are you doing in the area of setting up local groups in each state to build a local base of interest and support ? I have yet to be contacted in that area. Kucinich is light years ahead in this area, no matter how imperfect  the end result. This is one of the reasons that I no longer support the Kucinich effort in New Jersey. He's DOA here, as the outreach effort is flat. The local state machinery will run over him as they did in 04, he has large decfections in his suppport in many area's, as there is no real active local ground swell. If  you can't get the "conversion factor " in poll number's in a large metro area in the Phila/New Jersey area, it doesn't look too promising across the board. " All politics are local" your national effort is only as effective as the base support in each state goes, it's Politics 101.
