Meet Jefferson Smith, the Oregon Bus Project
by Nancy Scola, Sat Mar 03, 2007 at 11:55:55 AM EST
This
is the fourth in a series of MyDD interviews called Hearing
Progressive Voices, conducted via instant messenger. Jefferson
Smith is executive director of the
Bus Project, a volunteer-driven progressive organization based in Portland, Oregon. Since 2002, the Bus Project has been touring the state, registering thousands of voters, and knocking on thousands of doors. For our interview, Jefferson was brave and kind enough to
tackle Gmail chat for the very first time. We talk about raging
for progressive change, why the "Vote, F*cker" message
works, taking a Moneyball approach to politics, and the need for
a little "benevolent irrationality."
