On the contrary, by definition, it would be restricted to the subset of ways to make people's lives better which also allow them more time to edit. The contrapositive of 'because' is 'is caused by.' If campaign finance reform makes people's lives better and allows them more time to edit, then there would seem to be five categories: 'active opposition,' 'inactive opposition,' 'silence,' 'inactive support,' 'active support.' Obviously the Board wants to do what supports the community, employees, donors, and readership, not necessarily in that order. I personally would love to see a link to https://bit.ly/amendmentact at least on the Outreach wiki or something, as I have no idea what passes for petition notability these days.
