That's why I posted the article. It got very little airtime ANYWHERE.
Thanks for the link CCC... I will not be uninformed again.
I was rather disappointed when I saw quick mention of this in my local rag newspaper and found your thread.
With the 2004 elections coming up fast, it's imperative us activists do what we should do best, be active.
I posted this thread on the 2004 March candidates hoping to generate interest and action, to get people to start helping their candidates in March and eventually November. As you can see it hasn't generated much discussion thus far. I suppose Peterson, Jacko, and Kobe are more interesting topics (not to disparage anybody who has posted there as I may have made a few snippy comments there myself and I hope justice is done in those cases). But our elections have more direct impact on our lives.
And it is evident we can't wait for initiatives to mysteriously appear on ballots before becoming interested. We need to vet out the ones in circulation and start getting better exposure to worthy initiatives. The sooner the better.
