While monitoring other active groups, several days ago we came across a group that was experiencing some major communications problems.
The group administrator had decided to block out some very active listserve members. Listserve members could not post to the group. This situation continued unchanged for months despite repeated appeals to the GA. We at OAN-IN then posted some suggestions to the group.
The group acted immediately.
Note the powerful positive energy that occurs when a committed local Obama support group finally decides to own their problem and finds their own unique solution.
Please take the time to read it carefully. Ultimately, this is exactly what we are determined to accomplish with OAN-IN.
Please read from the top down. Notice the dates and times. - G

Hello,
Could you please post my reply about finding folks in the "real south jersey".
I'm getting so frustrated trying to send to the group and not seeing it get posted.
I've sent messages since last year and never see them in the emails to the group.
Thank you,
Sharon

Fuzzebear- We are going to meet as a group. Network between all the people there. Exchange information such as Events coming up, questions on campaign activites. Some people want to do a Car Wash Fund raising for instance. We can connect people in that fund raiser to make it HAPPEN. There are others who may hold Meet and Greet parties with neighbors or even whole Neighborhoods. This is something that has come down from the Main Website. Well, we can amongst the people meeting, organize one of those events.
It's harder to do it by yourself. But the group will give us strength and the impetus to do it. Having others that will help us makes it good for all of us. Mostly though, we are meeting because we want to start do so Something. Taking the first step on the thousand mile journey, so to speak.

All,
The contact list ia great idea but it's very hard to track via email. People may not have the correct updated list, names might be dropped, etc. I may be a bit ahead of myself but since the group page on Obama's website has very limited functionality, I created a new network site for our group to coordinate on. Here's the address: http://jerseyshoreobama.ning.com/. Just sign up on the top right hand side. I've created a forum on the site for discussions as well as polls for meetups, etc. I would be more than willing to add more admins for the site if anyone wanted to manage it. I feel it would add a lot more organization to the process of meetups, discussions and events.
Regards,
Bob

Hello All,
I just want to say that I am proud of all you out there that are now starting to take the initiative. This is what it takes to start a movement. We are going to to get a helluva lot more votes for Senator Barack Obama in this coming election. And then we can all feel proud of the role we played in changing our world!
Love you all,

Hey Rob,
No problem. It's the least I can do to help. I'll be more than happy to add you as an admin for this site so you can take charge of it. Hope it helps in the organization of events and such.

This is helpful, but I think it would be a good idea to redact the email addresses above (replace with *** or whatever). Unredacted email addresses are a major source of spam on the web today; also, the original posters probably didn't realize their correspondence would be posted to a Googleable web page.
Cheers,
