Some mid-afternoon thoughts from Power Vote leaders in the midst of the Hofstra Power Vote debate storm.
From Zo Tobi, SSC organizer extraordinaire: The “Clean coal” lobby was handing out BAND AIDS as a solution to our energy crisis. We couldn’t make this up. Since we’ve seen them at every debate- we were ready for them this time. As soon as they set up their table to give out stickers and pens we got a whole crew together to march over to the table and stand next to it with the truth about coal. Our homeless polar bear even had a little chat with the coal execs.
From Josh Tulkin, Power Vote acting Field Director: Dorm storms, polar bears debating coal execs, more Power Vote t-shirts than campaign shirts, over 900 Power Vote pledges before 4 p.m., the stickers are everywhere, the volunteers are everywhere. There’s no question that at Hofstra Power Vote already won the debate tonight! It started this morning with 30 volunteers and we now have more than 60. The movement broke through here today. Everyone wants to be a part of this. For me personally, it has been reinvorgating to get out of the office and see what amazing work everyone is doing. We all need to pause and get energy from how amazing this movement is. Gotta go now. MSNBC’s starting Hardball and we gotta hold up the Power Vote banner…
