Hm, checked my state and . . . nothing.

Any Marylanders here (or Baltimorons in specific) who can help me out?  I know the primaries are a week away, but aside from the gubernatorial candidates, I have no idea who else is on the ballot and why I should care about either.

2 At least in Connecticut they have the senate and congressional races and candidates listed.

From the information on the Concord Project site, it looks like they launched on Labor Day weekend.  They are soliciting for people in all 50 states to sign up and provide local information on the races. 

I like it because it's being organized by (former) union organizers who know exactly how to organize a gotv effort.

5 All that matters to me is showing Joe Sleestak and my local congresscritter the door. Having gotten rid of Snarlin' Arlen already is just gravy.

7 "What Is The Concord Project?
Unions and other special interests are spending hundreds
of millions of dollars to keep big government politicians in
office.
An idea conceived by reformed union activists, the
Concord Project is an online tool designed for hardworking
Americans to learn GOTV basics. It will serve as a
hub for individuals, activists and groups to collaborate and
coordinate their GOTV efforts
Utilizing an open platform, the Concord Project gives
individuals, activists and groups a place to post events,
coordinate GOTV efforts, as well as comment on specific
candidates and issues.
The Concord Project is a tool for the people to take back
their politics from the ruling class. On Tuesday, September
7th, put the Concord Project to use. Then, on November
2nd, remember GOTV"

8 CHARLIE COOK NOW PREDICTS A GOP HOUSE FLIP- New House Outlook: GOP Net Gain of At Least 40 Seats September 7, 2010 Over the summer, the “macro” national diagnostic indicators have pointed toward very large Republican gains but only now can we look race-by-race, a micro-political approach, and see the district level data to say that the House has reached the tipping point. For the first time, our internal race-by-race model estimates a GOP gain of over 40 seats. We are revising our House forecast to a Republican gain of at least 40 seats, the minimum to give them majority status, and very possibly substantially more.

10 I don't think Republicans need to worry about "get out the vote" this time since McLame is not running.

Let's just hope they don't nominate some other damn liberal squish because "only a moderate like McCain can beat Hillary".  Or the equally lame "He'll deliver blue States like PA".

This is what Republicans really need to worry about.

12 An idea conceived by reformed union activists,

see right there I didn't trust these guys and my first thought was this is a great way to compile a list of people to be used against them later on...

I think you are way better off picking your candidates and helping those you picked by contacting them directly...

14 This is not about gathering email addresses #12, it's about gathering voters.

You can sign up to be a moderator/wiki editor.  I'm the first Illinois moderator. Think of it as a troll whacker. Even if your state already has a moderator, you can be one, too. Or you can just post as a normal user, if you don't want the hassle.

15 I want to encourage everyone to get involved. As Loren said this all about GOTV not about gathering data. All content is user generated so get in there and get active, walk a precinct, organize a house party, get others involved. The unions are way ahead of us right now and need to make sure that every leaning right voter to the polls that we can!

16 We need every conservative who fancies himself a "political activist" to actually get involved "in the trenches" in some way to help GOTV.  Yes, contact your favorite candidates' campaigns and make phone calls, get a walking sheet to go door-to-door, help distribute and put up signs, stuff envelopes, whatever they ask you to do.  If you live in a "safe" Republican district, then seek out those conservative Republican candidates around the country and make phone calls using their internet-based GOTV phone systems. 

Then, after the Nov. 2 election, consider getting involved INSIDE the Republican Party to take it back.  Do a Google search on precinct committeeman project strategy and you'll find what you need.

We conservatives have the numbers to take back the Party.  With HALF the precinct committeeman slots, on average, in every state, VACANT, the Party is there for the taking.  Please get to your local monthly GOP committee meeting with every other conservative you  know and help us already INSIDE the party to take it back.  ONLY precinct committeemen are eligible to vote in the internal party leadership elections.

You can do all of this through your local republican or conservative party.  You actually don't need to give your personal information on the internet to a heretofore unknown entity.
