Live-blog tonight for Republican Primary Debate

Filed Under Announcements, BlogHer, Campaigning, Elections, live-blog, Politics, WH2012, White House 2012 | Comments Off

Here’s where the action will be!  I love live-blog season!  And Emily Zanotti of American Princess will be co-hosting with me. If you’re not familiar with EM’s writing and punditry, she is sharp, witty and firmly from the right of center.  Should be a lot of fun – if not for the seven GOP candidates, at least for us following them.

[updated w/links to all the live-blogs which incorporate Twitter.com tweets made by participants/observers during the sessions; if you click on the italicized title of each session, you will be directed to the live-blog for that session]

I live-blogged the following presentations from Personal Democracy Forum 2009, Day 2. I used a program called CoverItLive and embedded it in posts on this blog. When the sessions started, I typed as it happened. It’s a great way to be there without being there.

If you have any questions, let me know via comments here or e-mail.

Tonight, 10:30pm EST: Listen to WomenCount BlogTalkRadio debut (for me & them)

Filed Under Blogging, Campaigning, Elections, Jill Miller Zimon, live-blog, Media, Pepper Pike, Politics, Social Issues, Women, Writing | 1 Comment

WomenCount describes itself this way:

A New Grassroots Approach to the Women’s Movement
The Internet has transformed grassroots activism. Instead of organizing in living rooms, political campaigns are now sprouting online. The web has become a powerful tool in the political process— for issues, for candidates, for fundraising. It’s time for the women’s movement to leverage these opportunities, and WomenCount is poised to help.

The 2008 Democratic presidential primary campaign and the historic candidacy of Hillary Clinton changed the conversation for and about women in America. Her success, although it fell short, awakened for women all over the country— even those who did not support her— the possibility of what still can be. Her campaign was only a beginning.

Now, we will tap in to that emotion to harness the passion and energy of the history-making 2008 election and carry it forward. Think of WomenCount as a MoveOn for women’s issues and ideas. With the power of a grassroots coalition of politically engaged women behind us, we’ll be flexible, adaptable, and participatory— a political force to be reckoned with.

Tonight, the organization will broadcast its first episode of its new weekly talk radio show on BlogTalkRadio, and they’ve invited me to be the first show’s guest.

Following the information below, you can listen to the live-stream as the show is broadcast, you can participate by joining in the chat, online, from your computer, and you can call in and ask questions – in other words, it’s totally interactive. You can also download the show as a podcast or listen on your computer to it later (I will post a link to it afterwards).

Here are the details:

When: Tonight, Thursday, 6/4/09, 10:30pm EST

Where: Go to this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/womencount/2009/06/05/WomenCount-Radio-talks-with-Jill-Miller-Zimon

Please feel free to tweet out the link or post on your Facebook pages, etc. to promote.

How: 

1.  You can listen as it streams live through your computer.  

2.  If you’d like to call-in, the call-in number is (646)716-9381.

3. During the show, a chat room is open for people listening to go in to. If you create your own free account at BTR (if you don’t already have one), you can log in and talk in the chat room during the show.

What (that is, why me?):

It’s WomenCount Radio’s first show and host Julie Pippert & Co-Host/Producer Meghan Harvey asked me to be the guest, as the blogger at Writes Like She Talks and candidate for the Pepper Pike City Council . We will talk about what inspired me to run for office and why more women should be entering politics.

If you aren’t able to listen tonight, you will be able to listen later from the same location or download the podcast and listen at your leisure.

Thank you very much to Julie and Meghan.  I’m incredibly flattered to be the first guest of the show, especially because I so often don’t even imagine myself to be in the WomenCount demographic (as in, too old!).
