Should we shift to a more partisan stance?
Hey folks,
A bunch of us hyper active types have been meeting via conference call to discuss wiki specifics. There are many organizations doing parallel and related efforts, and we wanted to coordinate a little more. The folks at SourceWatch will be launching similar project (Election Protection Wiki at http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Portal:Election_Protection_Wiki), and that got us to thinking.
Since the SourceWatch folks are legally bound to remain non-partisan, would our efforts at the Voter Suppression Wiki benefit from being more partisan, more openly pro-Obama?
This means that among the "learn, report, act" mission of the site, we'd emphasize the "act" a bit more and do more explicit coordination with the campaign to get them information, etc.
The balance of this site was always going to lean to the left given the history of groups affected by voter suppression tactics, but we wanted to bring it to the wiki membership for further consideration. This would not involve a name change or anything, but might free us to be a bit more aggressive in some ways. So, what do yall think? Are we fired up?
