2006-07-08:  What Can YOU Do to Help?  Change Perceptions!

Have you ever heard of Wikipedia?  Many who use the Internet have found this dynamic, user-editable encyclopedia to be a wonderful resource. Now the inventor of Wikipedia is announcing Campaigns Wikia, a new website dedicated to expanding awareness of the political process and the REAL ISSUES which should be discussed by aspiring and incumbent politicians alike. Here is a brief excerpt from the site’s Mission Statement:

One hallmark of the blog and wiki world is that we do not wait for permission before making things happen. If something needs to be done, we do it. Well, campaigns need to sit up and take notice of the Internet, take notice of bloggers, take notice of wikis, and engage with us in a constructive way.

The candidates who will win elections in the future will be the candidates who build genuinely participative campaigns by generating and expanding genuine communities of engaged citizens.

I am launching today a new Wikia website aimed at being a central meeting ground for people on all sides of the political spectrum who think that it is time for politics to become more participatory, and more intelligent.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? GET ON IT AND START CHANGING SOME PERCEPTIONS!
