*** Democracies Online Newswire - http://www.e-democracy.org/do *** Be sure to take the Actionize <http://www.actionize.com> tour <http://www.actionize.com/mytour/mytour1.php> as you explore this new site. It will be interesting to determine how their tools compare with sites like E-ThePeople, Grassroots.com, Speakout, and others. I am interested in any effort that allows people to work to solve a problem beyond sending letters of protest to government or elected officials. The Internet allows people to organize and solve problems in new ways, however most political site tend to accelerate or make more efficient traditional politics. Time will tell how the current generation of political organizing sites come to be used. Comments?
