We can make this site the central repository for candidate positions
on trade. Consider helping. Little pain, and much gain,
will result.
I am increasingly going to post
what the candidates say on trade. On their websites, in debates,
in speeches. That means all candidates... those for President,
Senate, and the House of Representatives. The Coalition for a Prosperous America
is developing a trade rating system for current legislators, based upon
their voting record. That information will be available to you as
well when complete.
You can help on this site. This is an "open source" way to
quickly, efficiently and painlessly add candidate statements on
trade. (For the digerati among you, you know that wikipedia and
lesser known sites like www.2008racetracker.com use this "open source" method
effectively). (Read more).
There are a lot of "lurkers" here, but not
many commenters. I understand that because you all presumably
have real jobs. Very few blog sites generate many comments.
But if you register (see the upper right corner of this page),
you can comment on blogs. I promise not to sell your information to
credit card companies. Your screen name doesn't even have to be
your real name - you can call yourself "light emitting
cantelope." You can even mis-spell words... goodness knows I do
that here. Just crank out the information and move on.
If you have private or public information
on candidates positions relating to trade, type them in and give us all
a citation or hyperlink. If you want to post actual blog pieces, let me know
and we can set it up.
If you are active in an organization that tracks these issues,
consider posting or cross-posting your candidate information here,
giving full credit to your group. We can't make a difference if
we don't work together.
Voters can use this information to decide on candidates.
Candidates can be held accountable if they say good things, and get
elected.
You can search the ongoing results by topic (by hitting the topical
tabs at the top of this page) or by typing in search terms. This is an easy way to find out where the candidates stand.
I can't endorse candidates, and won't. I may criticize
your favorite candidate, or say good things about a candidate you
hate. But the trade position rules here. We want all candidates
to return to reality.
