CAN is a different paradigm, not a competing one. I wish Beck, et al all the good fortune in the world and fully support their collective efforts with whatever time I can muster.
CAN isn't about money. I have none. I'm a school teacher. I want none--beyond what I earn at work. If I can't get it done myself, or convince a volunteer to do it, it won't get done. CAN is about a plan to do something now, without waiting for 2010. CAN is about a focused pulse of emails delivered over a short period of time designed to be a directed means of reminding a Congressman where their best interests lie. CAN is about getting an email written to whom we ask, about what we ask, when we need it written.
The only thing that will make that work is numbers. Not money. We need thousands upon thousands of volunteers. We need each of us to be bringing in more and more people to serve as nodes in the network.
