The Blogger Voter List

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on July 25, 2003). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Mike Walsh, who inspired this recent post of mine, is starting to track the Blogger Voter List. He’s looking to keep a list of bloggers who, in essence, put their money where their mouth is, and vote as well as rant.

Remember, you can blog all you want about politicians and political issues but if you don’t vote, it doesn’t matter. And politicians only listen to registered voters. So register to vote, if you haven’t already, and then register on “The Blogger Voter List” so politicians and the people who manage political campaigns realize that bloggers (and people who read blogs) are a new force to be reckoned with.

He’s also looking for somone with LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) experience to assist in coding a site to track this, so it doesn’t have to remain an updated-by-hand listing. I wish my knowledge were up to par, but unfortunately, that’s just not the case. Anyone else feel like stepping up to the plate?

  1. Did someone say LAMP?

    cracks knuckles

    Michael, feel free to point him my way – as long as his P is PHP or Python, I’m good to go and am more than willing to pitch in for this cause.

  4. If ya don’t vote you have no right to bitch about how bad the government is.

    I vote…

    I bitch…

    and every letter I send and every email starts with.

    Dear sir
    As a regestered voter………

    just so they dont forget.
