Want to talk politics in the '08 election?
Do you keep up with the news? Can you read and write emails?
If so, you’re the type of person we want for Voterspeak ’08, a weekly online conversation about news and political tidbits on the 2008 election.
How does it work? We pose a question on a topic – examples could range from The New Yorker’s Barack Obama cover to a city parks bond referendum with a new pool. If you can write a couple paragraphs of thoughts in an email, then you’re qualified. Your comments will appear online with other regular people from the group in a roundtable discussion format.
How to get involved? Give us basic information such as your name, age, political leanings, job and other info in this form. We want moms, dads, children, immigrants, minorities, singles, students, retirees, business owners, employees and anyone with even a slight interest in voting. Email the filled-in form to county reporter Gerald Witt or state reporter Mark Binker.
We won’t give your info out to marketing or sales groups. In a few weeks, we’ll gather a group from those who email us, tell you more about how Voterspeak ’08 will work and then start up in September.
