Crossposting: MyBo FISA group touches on intersection of web dev and governance

So I want this item to appear in both my (current) blogs -- the Woodbridge Dems and the Lil' Ol' Blog. I've been following this MyBoFISA thing as it develops and I'm quite keen to examine how it touches on these intersections. And come to think of it, very much on the topic of my (not so current) GovTV blog, too.

So here is a key quote from the techPres write-up this morning (thanks Twitteriffic for pulling my attention to Micah's post the second he made it!), and then I will pontificate at my other two blogs (and come back here to provide links... soonest):

Zephyr Teachout has made the point here at techPresident that none of the campaigns have used the web, yet, to share power with their supporters--the most they've been willing to do is share tasks (like phonebanking or door-knocking). This FISA protest raises the question of power head-on: What were the arguments inside Senator Obama's policy circle over accepting or rejecting the congressional compromise bill? Who gets the candidate's ear? How did they get that access? The FISA fight also should force net-activists to ponder some questions too. How would you like to have input on the policy-making process? If you want a candidate to listen to you, what measure of standing should make your voice(s) relevant? Sheer numbers? Total donations? Your ability to make a lot of noise?

PS> So/then/also, maybe there is a better way to manage crossposting like this? If I figure that out, I will post it here on this blog, OK?
