There's a petition up at SignOn.org—a spin off of MoveOn—to push that group to advocate for approval voting. I'd ask any supporters and regular readers out there to add their names. (And no, I didn't create the petition.)
There's also a similar petition for score voting. Spread the word!
So if you can't get 50 signatures for either petition are you going to read the hand-writing on the wall and refocus on pushing for American forms of PR???

Hi Dale, here's my game-plan. This past year, I've written a novel and am going to e-publish it and am dedicating 20% of the e-publication to what I call, "the politics of Jesus" or the subversion of rivalry within US politics by making neither of the two major parties able to dominate our system. Practically, I'm going to help FairVote push for American forms of PR. It's a tried-n-true way(as neither major party was able to dominate in IL while it was in use from 1870-1980) to make a difference.
ReplyDeleteIf Approval or Range Voting prove to be marketing-challenged then maybe you should join me in supporting FairVote's American forms of PR campaign???

Yeah, I'd support a pro-PR movement.
ReplyDeleteShit, I really wish more people would care about Approval or Range Voting or just period.

I hope you are well and wanted to let you know that I look forward to a new season of blog-activism by you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, DLW. That actually means a lot to me.
