Yeehaw

Howdy Partners.

If nothing else, make your campaign pages witty. Cause and point--DIA member Freedom States Alliance created the vanity url gunguys.com, " Where everyone is a straight shooter". Kinda cute, right?

The site offers daily updates from the Gun Guys on issues such as gun buy backs, America's "shooting gallery" and the illegal gun trade. Serious stuff, in a piquant package, often draws a larger crowd to your issue.

Thumbs up?

This weekend I saw An Inconvenient Truth, aka " The Al Gore Movie".

Rather than wax poetic about my thoughts here, I suggest you visit Climate Crisis.net for their What You Can Do action center.

Kudos to DIA member CCAN for being in the right place at the right time to sign people up to receive e-alerts as they left the theater.

The Mixed Company of Net Neutrality

Succinctly put wrap of the net neutrality from world wide web inventor (and glancing-down-at-the-cue-cards-reader) Tim Berners-Lee. As Lawrence Lessig puts it, you can really tell who's wearing the white hats on this by the company they keep. And what they do.

It's a fraught moment for the future architecture of the online society.

[some DIA users have had things to say about Wal-Mart, of course.]

What Will You do on World Refugee Day?

Today is United Nations' World Refugee Day - a day designed specifically to remember the millions of refugees around the world. DIA member Refugees International offers compelling post cards created with the Tell-A-Friend tool that urge friends and family to donate towards the more than two million people in Darfur who have been displaced from their homes.

You can also try recent heavyweight Save Darfur. If you haven't sent a postcard to The Prez yet urging him to push for a UN peacekeeping force in Darfur, today is the day.
