Politicopia – Day 1

I’m pleased with Day 1 of Politicopia – an effort to give citizens a better handle on the Utah Legislature. It received some mentions here, here, here, and here. For now, I’d like Politicopia to focus on issues pending before the Utah Legislature. (Other great sites deal more specifically with Congress and national issues; I’ll give some links to those in upcoming days.)

I’d like to invite the public to get on Politicopia and drive. The content belongs to the people. Anything – and I mean anything – that you disagree with or want to change, change it. Someone might change what you write, but that is the nature of the Wikipedia-style experiment. I do ask that people stick to their side of the argument when they edit the pro/con sections, but, other than that, have at it, have fun, and get involved!

UPDATE (later): It never fails. I mention someone and embarrass myself by leaving off others. How on earth could I fail to mention my dear friend and tremendous supporter Britt Blaser, one of the most amazing people I've had the occassion to meet in recent years, Doc Searls, and my good colleague Rep. Craig Frank? Thanks to all these amazing people for their help and encouragement.
