Unity 08 -- Achieve Ballot Access

One way to shake up politics is to shake up the power structure that exists. Getting ballot access is one area where it will only take a few organized individuals to make a change in Washington. Organizing with Unity 08 to get a 'Unity Ticket" on the ballot can help change the pace of our country.

As each candidate panders to their base and tries to win their party nomination, some candidates will not continue to the big dance (election day 08). With Unity 08, we can organize people around the issues and elect a ticket that can be comprised of Democrats, Republicans, or Independents depending upon how each candidate reponds to what we (members of Unity 08 and our audience) feel are the issues facing America. But first we need to get Unity 08 on the ballot.

Here is a video from Shilpi Niyogi about the importance of gaining ballot access in all of the States:




To the Toledoans out there, if you want to meet up and talk about Unity '08 please send me an e-mail (on my profile page).

Video from

Dave Foster, Marketing Manager at Unity08, talks about Florida's and Michigan's decisions to move their primaries up and the Democratic party's decision not to count their votes.

With our two party system, there will be some good canidates that do not get the nod from their respective parties. If Unity '08 grows its membership, and can galvanize American's around issues to elect a Unity ticket (possibly members from both parties, or in combination with an independent) then we can elect a ticket that will change the face of politics.

I will be dedicating some posts to Unity '08 in the following months, to help build a bigger membership and reach a larger audience to help shape our presidential landscape.

Don't forget me when I'm gone...

Dear 11 daily readers, I appologize for my absence over the last two weeks. My laptop crashed at home and I was sick with a viral infection, hindering my ability to get to a functioning computer. I am all better now and looking to kick into full gear.

Make sure you check out this site and my blog for the iptv site to keep up on some current campaigns. If you want to take part in working with me I would love to hear from you.

I think that I am going to shy away from my progressive roots for this year's presidential ticket. I like the ideas proposed by Unity 08 and I think this is a more effective use of my desire to be involved in presidential elections. It is also an idea that I think is crucial to helping our country move beyond our individual differences and start working together to find common ground and Make a Difference.

As more develops, I hope you will take notice.
