What I’d love most is more discussion around the upcoming 2008 elections - which we should strive to make ‘The Climate Elections of 2008′ as much as possible. The outcome of this election will likely make or break our chances of reining in climate change before it’s too late, and I don’t think it is a stretch at all to say that this election could very well be the most important of our young lives.

I realize you face constraints on the kinds of political discussions that can happen here given issues with 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit compliance issues (we’ve talked about this Richard), but I think this would be a perfect forum for discussions by young voters on the upcoming elections. I hope that you can clarify what kinds of discussions are acceptable, and given the constraints of 501(c)3 status, I would even encourage you to consider other options for funding some or all of this blog’s costs (i.e. through contributions to a separate 501(c)4 perhaps).

That’s just my 2 cents… Otherwise, great work on this blog! I can’t wait to see the new layout and keep on bloggin’. Cheers,

Jesse
