Nationwide Election Day "I Voted" Parties

The campaign should organize election night watch parties in volunteer homes nationwide. It rewards those that worked hard, brings us together, and would be useful as mock mini-command centers for getting out the vote efforts.

Hit McCain on taxes: Create a tax-plan calculator

Because taxes are one thing that seem to trump everything else in many voter's minds. McCain is lying about his tax plan because he knows this. But the numbers favor Obama, overwhelmingly on this issue. And yet he hasn't been fully aggressive in getting this out.

Palin Ethics Watch

To counter the RNC's "Biden Gaffe Watch" on the GOP site, we need to have a "Palin Ethics Watch" counting the days until she actually testifies in the ethics investigation against her.

This is a huge negative for her, and we need to get the word out about it. Palin is under investigation by her own state for ethics violations in the Troopergate scandal.

With so many negatives myths in the political process, especially about Obama, it would be great to see a (simple, and nicely laid out) web site dedicated to stating the truth and having links to reputable sources to back up the info.

Add a "Message" section to this website

ohboyobama.com should have a "Message" section along with "Scheduling", "Advertising", etc. There are a lot of great ideas on here already about how which elements of Obama's message should be emphasized and how they should be expressed, but there's no good place to put them -- they seem to be spread around tactics, publicity and controversy, although none of them quite fit. "Message" could be one of the things this site does best.

Use the Obama web site as a model for the DNC web site.

I like the Obama web site, it does a great job of bringing people together. Besides the DNC web site could use a major makeover.

Mobilise Barack's overseas supporters!

Barack has inspired so many people OUTSIDE the USA. People in Europe, Asia and all round the world want to play a part. Yet his campaign website won't let us help (you need a US postcode!!!) This is so frustrating for us, and the campaign is missing out on masses of potential support. Please change the Obama website to include a section for 'overseas supporters'. There are thousands of us.
