Hi all,

I haven't posted on this list before, although I've been on a while.
I work for youth empowerment organization Mobilize.org. We're holding
a summit for Millennials (16 to 30), sponsored by the Sunlight
Foundation, to discuss the problem of money in politics and identify
innovative solutions to the problem in their communities. I would

All good questions Guy.

We're working a few things that should clear this up.

1. A Candidate page that puts all those who have pledged in one place.
This should give the user a breakdown of who's who and where they're
at in their race.
2. You can absolutely post and tag challengers who are facing off

Simon's actually been pushing forward on this and will hopefully have
something today or tomorrow.

That might work -- the problem is that the dictionary keys vary in
each line depending on the first field, which isn't normally true with
CSV.

Aaron,

A few questions regarding the "FEC electronic filings" project listed
on the "Tasks for Volunteers" page:

(1) Is progress being made on this project? I don't want to step on
any toes, but I'd be happy to spend some time on it if I can help move
things along.

(2) You say you want a parser, but you don't mention what kind of

SAVE AMERICA
Vote Libertarian this fall
Only the Libertarian Party can restore the freedoms stolen by the
present Congress and Executive branches of Government.
Ask yourself, do you want the government to tell you what to do, when
to do it, and who to do it with?
Or do you want to tell the government what to do? If you love America

What About Challengers?

gyed...@gmail.com (Guy Y) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 02:25:50 UT

I'm a member who's very interested in Change Congress, but I'm still
rather skeptical in the tool's ability to influence. Namely, there's
one huge gap that I haven't seen addressed.

Where are the challengers?

The website has plenty of information about our incumbent
Congresspeople. But where are the candidates that might change

is it impossible wikipedia, or whomever phrased things such as you quote, might be wrong? a "constitutional convention" and the Article V Convention are two very different things. not splitting hairs. i ask you think about this critically. talking about the difference between a convention to write a constitution, and a convention to propose amendments to an already working constitution.

geoff.tibb...@gmail.com (Geoff Tibbles) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:34:07 UT

It's probably more difficult than you think:
Amendments can be proposed one of two ways. The only way that has been used
to date is through a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Congress.
Alternatively, *two-thirds of the legislatures of the States* can call a
Constitutional Convention *to consider one or more amendments*. This second

hey j.
i hear you as far as fleshing out what exactly we're talking about when
talking Article V Convention.
at its most simple, the constitution provides all americans two choices:
Conventionist or Anti-Conventionist.
that's all our supreme law offers.
what you or i think that looks/feels like, or if viable, is subjective.

Friends,
We bet you'd agree with us that members of Congress ought to be able to
connect with all of us freely and easily online. So, when Sunlight's
Open House Project Google group got all riled up this week about the
issue, we were inspired to do something to rally citizens
