Jon, welcome!
To add to Jon's self-introduction, I'll say to other participants here
that, based on my earlier interactions with him, Jon quickly comprehends
plain-English voting explanations, which is an appreciated contrast to
many reform-minded folks who, in my opinion, are fixated on symptoms
rather than solutions.
Jon, we appreciate that you can help us get our knowledge of election
methods in front of the countless voters who are trying to figure out
ways to improve the election system.
Especially, thank you for posting this group's (executive summary of
the) "Declaration of Election-Method Reform Advocates" on your website
and thereby helping more people understand the root of our unfair
election system. This explains why recently there have been some new
Facebook "likes" for the associated Facebook page.
When you are ready to announce your Rebuild Democracy project (along
with the big names), Adrian at Democracy Chronicles (.com), who
participates here, can help you promote it at his online "newspaper."
Clarification to Adrian: Jon is the person who asked for my opinion
about Arizona's proposition for a so-called "top-two" primary, which led
to using what I wrote to Jon as the content for my recent article at
Democracy Chronicles.
Jon, thanks for joining us.

Hello All,
I'm the editor of aGREATER.US <http://aGREATER.US>, an internet platform
to find a greater political platform for the US. We are about a year
old. I am also on the board of two different left, right, center reform
groups. One is being formed by the Modern Whigs, Conservative Party and
Justice Party; the other RebuildDemocracy.org
<http://RebuildDemocracy.org> will be announcing their national
leadership (big names!) momentarily.
I've pitched the former Ban Single Mark Ballots! as our first "action",
hoping to get past and present third party Presidential candidates to
sign on. It has an excellent tripartisan rating on my site...

Anyway, I'd be very pleased to engage with you folks. I found you
through Richard Fobes, we met on the Continental Congress 2.0 forum. And
he has been quite generous with his time explaining nuance.
By the way, I'm a true centrist, conservative or progressive depending
on the best "answer" to any particular problem. So I have no ideological
ax to grind, with the exception of reform.
Cheers,
Jon Denn
