A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Lisa and I are heading to the National Election Reform conference in Nashville for the weekend, where we're going to launch a flash movie that we hope will eventually propagate all over the Internet.

We'll be writing some journal entries about the Conference while we're there, and we'll post them on the Common Cause Forum.

The flash movie was edited and produced by Erin and Conrad Stanley, two Los Angeles documentary film makers who are passionate about the cause of election reform. So passionate that they donated their time and the use of their studio. SO passionate that Erin stayed up all night to finish the movie in time for overnight delivery in Nashville.

That's the kind of energy and dedication that gives real power to reform efforts. I hope that, when people see Erin's work, they will be moved to match her dedication.

Interestingly enough, as she was making the movie and requesting permission to use footage from many sources, a lot of the people Erin talked to wanted to send their support to the cause, too.

So, let's put all this energy to work in a meaningful way. Let's fight for change NOW.

Watch for the CauseNet containing the flash movie link. Send it to your like-minded friends. Meet at the Common Forum (www.Common Forum.org) and share your passion for election reform.
