Ernie : " What kind of ideas? Which people? " Fair question, indeed, a necessary question. Let me refer to Killian's "Swing Voters" since the idea of reaching out to Independents has been a priority of mine for several years now. NOT as iron clad but as an initial suggestion. OTOH, why not try for political influence per se ? Killian discussed ( in her C-Span interview ) a number of politicians who she regards as willing --even eager-- to come up with bi-partisan solutions. Trouble is that these folks, like Warner and Susan Collins, have gotten really bad treatment from party hacks in their respective parties since they resist party-line strategies and ways of doing things. Could we at least suggest ways that a bi-partisan consensus just might be able to emerge on Capitol Hill ? Not for all issues, that ain't gonna happen, but for selected issues, like energy policy. Or industrial policy. Killian made the point about Indies, though, that they became Independent precisely because Reps and Dems do not work together to get things done for common good. So they have basically said "screw you" to the parties they once were affiliated with. Anyway, for openers, something to think about and refine. ------------ " should we start blogging this on _rc.org_ (http://rc.org/) , or create a separate domain? " Maybe you could explain how RC.org could become a blog . That idea makes really good sense, but what are the practical nuts and bolts ? What would need to change in terms of day-to-day communications ? That is, we have a pretty good thing going and it would be unwise to make it difficult to continue on as we have. I'm also open to the idea of a new domain. Same questions. In practical terms, what do we need to know ? Billy ===================== 4/13/2012 11:13:48 A.M.
