Campaigns Wikia - Central Campaign Wikia

What is politics coming to? Maybe something worthwhile.
This website, Campaigns Wikia, has the goal of bringing together people from diverse political perspectives who may not share much else, but who share the idea that they would rather see democratic politics be about engaging with the serious ideas of intelligent opponents, about activating and motivating ordinary people to get involved and really care about politics beyond the television soundbites.
Campaigns Wikia - Central Campaign Wikia Want to get involved? First, sign up for the mailing list. Let's start a conversation, let's start teaching each other how to reach out and get the attention of the campaigns. Or drop me a personal email at jwales at wikia.com to talk more. Second, sign up here on the wiki, and let's start building the knowledgebase to make this happen. Third... blog about it, email about it, talk about it, contact your local politicians and help them to get involved. Make a big noise that there is a broad non-partisan effort to making politics smarter, in engaging people at a personal level. Politicians will respond, but they need to hear us demand it, in a big way. For now, just sign up on the mailing list and give a shout out about what you are interested in. We will get this ball rolling.
