Support Secretaries of State who will protect the election

Mark Ritchie was a community organizer

As an organizer, with lots of friends who are organizers, I can tell you that people are still talking about Sarah Palin's comments in at the Republican National Convention.

"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities,"

I've joined a few facebook groups over the last week. First it was "We are all community organizers." Next it was "Martin Luther King Jr. was a community organizer." The latest group I joined is called "Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor"!

Joining Facebook groups is cathartic. But there's a better way to support community organizers. Put them in office.

In 2006, the SoS Project helped elect one of the most progressive Secretaries of State in the nation, Mark Ritchie. How he got his start in politics? As a community organizer.

Community organizers make amazing Secretaries of State. Any organizers out there looking at a 2010 SoS campaign? Let us know at secstate (at) gmail (dot) com.
