Soon after the climatic election of 2008, we wrote congratulations you won. Now the country is yours. Now run it. We weren't kidding.Only in nuanced ways has the government changed and that's not what a lot of people have wanted. What's needed is a shot of mostly independent moderates to get involved in a big way. We don't agree with a lot of what the Teapartyers say but still have to admire their spunk, as well as their ability to organize and make their opinions heard.
Up to now we've thought that individual moderates have little chance of making their positions heard given the way the two parties pick their candidates, but we came across one group that could have the remedy - "Citizens Campaign-Jersey Call to Service. If their Web site jointhecampaign.com is to be believed, they are not for any one specific ideology but rather want to get more people involved.
