The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, a direct result of our oil addiction coupled with the drive-by drilling practices of pusher British Petroleum and their criminally negligent associates, has been consuming the attention of DailyKos. The wreck list lingers over a blow by blow of the oil gusher, but as horrific as it is this is just a symptom, a symptom of our oil addition, our media's mishandling of important issues, and the inability of the stateless, egalitarian blogosphere to self organize and deal with pushing policy changes. I've been talking about the need for change in our methods for a couple of years. I've been working on just that since we founded the Blog Workers Industrial Union. We've worked on political races and issues advocacy before, but this is the first campaign we've developed from scratch. I'm very curious to hear your opinions on both the solution and the methods.
