Are bloggers press? The LAPD doesn't seem to think so
Morra Aarons 01/30/2008 - 9:34pm

I understand with every new medium there are some growing pains. There is debate to be had over which entities can call themselves "media" and which are not. Over what constitutes a "legitimate" news or information source and what is just one woman and her blog, with no readers. But there is something to be said about that one woman and her blog, utilizing the freedom of the press and the officials she elects and tax dollars she contributes.

I encourage you to engage in this debate online and with your local, city, and state officials. Katy and I will mail the necessary requirements to the LAPD and wait for the results.

Tomorrow we WILL be covering the Democratic debate at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, as they have credentialed us without law enforcement press passes. In comparison, before I even submitted our social security numbers to organizers for the event, I received a "we'd be pleased to have you" response almost overnight.

Thank You

Over the past year, as I traveled around the country, people from all walks of life welcomed me into their homes and communities with open arms. From house parties to parades to town halls and rallies, I have shared in some wonderful moments with you all and for that I am eternally grateful.

Thank you for sharing your concerns with me. Thank you for working with me to provide our children with a brighter and more prosperous future. Thank you for your support and trust and faith. And thank you for being a part of this wonderful journey.

Im with Obama

Dear Friend,

When I endorsed Barack Obama on Monday, I was also endorsing a candidate with the power to transform America.

As President Kennedy said in 1960, "It is time for a new generation of leadership."

This campaign is about a new generation of leadership today. A generation ready to be part of something bigger than themselves. A generation ready to change the country, and a generation ready to change the world.

I'm doing everything I can to elect Barack Obama. With less than a week before my state and 21 others make their voices heard, there is no time to lose.

Announcing Personal Democracy Forum 2008!; YouBama combines YouTube and Digg to show the most popular pro-Barack Obama videos; a geek comic hero supports Obama; Danny Glover's Beltway Blogroll and Technology Daily shutter their doors; watch videos of Micah Sifry and Andrew Rasiej on Brian Lehrer Live, and watch Josh Levy, er, live tonight; John McCain wins Florida; Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards are set to drop out, further whittling the field and our once-ginormous charts; and those charts show Clinton and Obama neck and neck on YouTube and McCain and Romney on the rise, according to Hitwise.
