Comment on The Business of Change: Omidyar’s $15 Million Investment by Jesse Littlewood

Rapid growth poses its own challenges, and we’ll see how Change deals with that. Training a lot of new organizers quickly is a daunting task and one that might lead to loss of quality in campaigns. This is as much a business question as an advocacy one: how do you make sure most clients are working with someone in their 3rd month on the job? But if they overcome these challenges, and turn out trained online organizers, I think progressives will be much the better for it.

Now, this argument makes sense, sounds reasonable & do-able! believe in personal responsibility, but, somehow, “I think I might be more responsible than you.” Therefore, if you & I decide to own a gun, I want to be darned sure you must be found fit to own one…if you, then I.

Well said. I want to protect my husband’s, son’s, father’s right to hunt and bring home organic meat. I also want to protect my family from crazy gun owners. Focusing on responsible screening is key. Thanks for the great article.

I haven’t seen a healthy democracy in this country in some time.

What we have seen in the recent past is the equilibrium position of electoral democracy — the only thing that matters is winning. Obstruct, lie do whatever it takes. Thank you for demonstrating this so clearly Mr. McConnell and Mr. Romney.

If people cared about losing their privacy they would do something about it. Vote in the last Facebook vote. Get do not track software. ETC.

hey dave! really enjoyed the article – didn’t realize this nuance in advertising methods for the site, helps explain a lot! and the “L” word labeling comment is so true, it took me a long time to realize this point as well. in retrospect, I can’t believe so much good work has been and is being compromised to avoid that term. anyway, thanks alot! we need to catch up soon, I’ll send you a mail in the next few days.
