"This will be a concerted effort to build a structure in all 93 counties (and) compete in areas that now may be considered hostile," said Barry Rubin, the Nebraska Democratic Party's executive director.

As you read this, Nebraskans are developing a strategy at numerous Meetups, local party meetings, and through interviews with activists, donors, elected officials, and non-active, registered Democrats.

But we can't ignore you.

Your ideas about local blog strategy, how we can elect Democrats to local office, and how to build a new Democratic community with a clear and relevant message are exactly what our Red State Democratic Party needs right now!

You've seen what works -- and what doesn't.   Tell us.

Drop by our site and give us your thoughts on how we can build upon the hope we have in the heartland -- we already have some comments going, but we could sure use your inspiration.

And believe me, I know the power of this community firsthand.

Remember the blogswarm to support Howard Dean and change the Democratic National Committee's approach to politics?  Well, here's the beef: Nebraska is one of the first states in the "50 State Strategy" to get organizers on the ground.

Now that we've got the people -- and more and more Nebraskans are coming on board every day -- it's time to reach out to everyone inside and outside of the state so they can participate.

Thats why we've put a post up to catch your ideas about what needs to happen here in our State:
