This is the Obama Caucus of Ann Arbor's blog for news. Some of our news junkies follow the news that is relevant to us, and post important stories. It's a great way for OCAA members to be informed with less effort.
Postings should be short, and relevant to our goals: healthcare, the economy, green energy, and climate change. We try to cover local, state and national stories.
If you are a tracker, on your day create at least one posting on the story or stories you think are the most important. Use links to the original story, or put the whole text in a comment. If you know you can't do it on your day, just ask for a sub, or ask someone you know to guest post for you.
On a day that is not yours, you can still post stories from previous days, but not from that day. No stepping on the toes of that day's tracker.
