February 27, 2005A Reform Initiative?Just wondering if anyone would like to do anything about the issue in the post immediately below. I'm thinking of some kind of blogger initiative advocating redistricting reform. There might be several ways to do it. Perhaps something like this:
I noticed that several bloggers have discussed it recently, including some of the biggies on the left and right. Kevin Drum recently had something of a change of heart on the issue. We may be able to convince some of the major left and right blogs to participate in a broad initiative advocating reform. Posted by William Swann at February 27, 2005 04:59 PMComments
Kevin seems a bit self-absorbed, doesn't he, as if people will give a damn that some blogger is changing is mind. Posted by: MWS at February 27, 2005 07:06 PMWe're working on this in a Caliornia context with Bloginators, so we'd be happy to link up with national resources on the topic.

I was thinking of some kind of resource that links you to the active side of these efforts -- what people are currently doing and what to do to join in. There are a few states with active campaigns -- California, Massachusetts, Colorado. I wonder how many of the other states have at least *some* kind of activity, like a bill that was once proposed, or something like that. I'm going to do a little poking around and see what I can find. Posted by: William Swann at February 28, 2005 01:43 PM |
