by Angry White Liberal This is truly embarrassing. Ken Sain points out an article in the Washington Post (click here ) which discusses events in Frederick County.

What the folks in Frederick are doing is great. More should be following them.
In focusing on trying to get a broad national or statewide message out through candidacies for president or senate (see my recent post about the potential Green/unity effort of Kevin Zeese for Senate in Maryland), activists sometimes miss the opportunity to organize locally. Local organizing, whether on an issue or for an electoral contest, can give smaller parties an opportunity to build credibility and strength for the future. And since local elections are not so dominated by big donors and wild spending on media, polls, etc. they are a real opportunity for third parties to make a mark and develop their bases. Add that to the complacency and lack of grassroots work by dominant parties, and chances abound locally. I’ll try to get into more of this on the MD situation in my blog http://OnBackground.blogspot.com
