The outsider agenda
Funky posts on MoveOn.org’s About statement. He brings up a good point, and suggests, that since MoveOn purports to seek the opinion input of everyday Americans, why shouldn’t more everyday Americans get involved in that input process?
I’m all for it. I don’t agree with everything in the MoveOn agenda as it currently stands, but I also don’t agree with the general direction of our government over the past decade and a half (basically that covers the time that I’ve really been paying attention). So, on the chance that MoveOn’s statement is sincere, what’s it gonna’ hurt to add my voice to the mix? Or yours, for that matter? Funky reasons it out well enough, so why not read his post on the matter?
There is a basic truth to this idea that democracy really only works when its members participate.
