[Spam] [Vision2020] Re: Candidate Chastisement

Nils:
Will the folks who facilitate this event know a little more about 
Moscow than those who talked about getting a good potato at Hyper 
Spud last time?  Maybe we need spirit, maybe we need a kick in the 
butt, but if we need a cheerleader, let's not hire one from out of 
town for a bunch of money.  The UI, WSU, and for that matter, the 
local high schools have plenty--most of whom probably know that we 
don't grow many potatoes in this part of Idaho.

Enthusiasm is great, but uneducated forced enthusiasm is a real turn-
off.

Tim et al.

I have created a space on MoscowWiki for links to Candidate Websites.

http://moscowwiki.editme.com/CommunityIssues

Pardon that the list is incomplete, I did the work before the closing 
date for filing, and have not updated it. Please help yourselves and 
add links to all the candidates.

Candidates, if you lack a web site there is a way that a page in 
MoscowWiki could be made non-communal if that would work for you.

While you are at it, MoscowWiki would be a possible place for the 
community to build a platform for this election (rather than wait for 
candidates to build one) and ask candidates if they subscribe to the 
platform.

The NewCities questions (linked from here 
http://moscowwiki.editme.com/NewCities could form the basis of that 
platform building. I have not built out all the 12 pages for 
NewCities, but you could.

You could also get a jump on the Oct 13 New Cities event by following 
the "Be Heard!" link
