Holliston Hoping: Obama Community Voices: November 2008

This is a blog about community, our community—

Holliston, Massachusetts.

We're looking ahead with a sense of hope.
Not the passive hope of wishful thinking,
but the activist hope of knowing that —

"In the unlikely story that is America,
there's never been anything false about hope."

This site is to serve as a forum for thoughts and ideas, but also as a device for reaching out. We'll be posting info about things people right here in town are doing to try and make a difference: house parties to watch the debates, phone banks and canvassing, letter writing.

Whatever the skills or passion offered, there's a place for them right here —and a need.

That change everyone's talking about —

We're it and the time is now.

Rock & Roll White House?

Could we have our first ever inaugural featuring a face melting guitar solo?
(Like the one's you get from Nels Cline of the best damned rock & roll band in America, Wilco)

Well, now there's hope

Hopefully in Holliston

Yes We Can!

This blog is place to share your thoughts, hopefully about the future much more than the past, about what we can do to make it better —for this community, for our country, for each other.

Do something about it

We'll be posting information on events here in Holliston regarding the election. Well have info on debate watching parties, canvassing ventures and phone banks. Watch here for the info and let us know about the things you're doing, too!

Upcoming Dates

Then, of course:

There's November 4th! —Vote!

Holliston Voices

There's lots of things we can do and good reasons why. We want to see a conversation started about those things. Barack Obama is the leadership we need to enable and empower that conversation with meaningful purpose. He understands that government can be our own sense of responsibility to each other —put into action.

It really is about community organizing after all.

So consider adding your own thoughts here. Send us your thoughts on Barack Obama's campaign, what the country needs and what we're hoping to achieve. We hope to see and hear voices from own community and we want that neighbor to neighbor discussion to make something happen.

Holliston Hoping voices will be put to good use. We'll draw from the posts on this blog —and the comments —to describe that grass roots appeal to each other —in the conversation we engender with this forum but also in mailings we plan on sending out around our community, and maybe further still.

Be a part of this! Send along a message for a new post or comment on the one's you find here. Then find someone else and convince them to join in, too.

That change we hope for —

We're it and the time is now!
