Ryan,

You only read it after being called out on for not reading it. Thanks for wasting paper resources, I’m sure that Greenpeace will love hearing that you are printing blog posts for no reason, it’s not required to have a blogosphere conversation.

What’s your personal reaction to the post? What is John’s reaction to the post? That is listening that leads to real conversation. I don’t think we’re there yet.

Look forward to witnessing the transformation, I promise to be here to participate in our Democracy with you.

Hi David. Here is my comment. I have not only read your post, but I have printed it. Thanks for sharing.

Disclaimer 1: I not only work with John and Elizabeth Edwards, but I also support them.

Disclaimer 2: David is looking for a comment on this post so I am officially making a comment. Eleven days later, but this post is still relevant.

[...] Ryan M from the John Edwards campaign claims that the campaign is listening to the blogosphere / social media. Sorry Ryan, but the facts speak otherwise. On January 6th, 2007, I posted “How to Forge a New American Mandate Via Social Media Political Revolution”. There was a listing of the major candidates in one section of the post ”Scoble’s posts made me think how can we truly integrate social media into campaigns(and after the election). John Edwards said in his interview with Scoble that we need “a bottom up democracy.” It’s an amazing challenge requiring change in our government not seen in over a generation. The campaigns for President of John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Tom Vilsack, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Newt Gingrinch, Frank Keating, Chuck Hagel, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, Mitt Romney and Tommy Thompson would be wise not to adopt this as a tactic but as a way to redesign government’s interaction with our citizens. Democrat or Republican is not the issue here.” [...]

Nicely written. It was exactly this type of motivation which led myself and several others to begin BraveHumans. I know there are lots of others striving toward the same goal. Hopefully we will reach a critical mass in the near future.
