[GPSCC-chat] Meet the Green Shadow Cabinet--including one of our own.

[Spencer Graves]

       That's great.


       Congratulations, Sandy!


       I could volunteer to help this group and others improve Wikipedia 
and write for Wikinews.  Last week, I passed 1,000 edits in Wikimedia 
projects.  This included 2 stories in Wikinews plus a third that I 
abandoned, because I could not find the time to respond to all the 
reviewers' comments while the story was still news.  Activities like 
these could increase substantially the impact of Green Party ideas.  
When we do this without mentioning the Green Party, we pull the 
mainstream closer to our positions.


       Some people get paid full time to try to modify Wikipedia to 
conform to the propaganda of the ultra-right.  We need more people like 
us demanding that these ideologues write from a neutral point of view 
citing serious sources or be banned from further edits.


       Spencer
