Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - So, I have been thinking about this Cambria Struggles in Senate Porn Hearings

So, talking about the political voice aspect of this, here are some of the issues that I'm seeing in this problem...

It's probably not practical to think about organizing webmasters - it's been tried before and has failed every time.

But, if we want a voice, we would need some type of organization.

It seems to me that the most practical thing would be to try to get the FSC to establish a genuinely effective "Internet Department". To ally ourselves with that older established organization, but to _make_ them institute some organizational changes so that our concerns and issues get put on the political table alongside the concerns of the video manufacturers and bookstore owners.

This means something like witholding this years membershio fees unless they establish a real internet department, with someone like Connor Young in charge, a department that listens to us and which brings the FSC into the 21st century.

So, thats my suggestion, a letter writing campaign in which we say we will withold membership unless an internet department is established.

There should be a carrot, too - that is, we should commit to doubling our contribution when an internet department is established.
