A sandbox for activism. Yay!

Test Post II: DKos Xpost in filtered html

This is the third edition of Action Diary Rescue, a roundup of action oriented diaries by Kossacks over the last week or so. This time I’d like to request, if you take action on any of these items, please leave a comment so 1) I can give you some mojo and 2) so I can gauge if it’s worth keeping this series up.

Diarist Charles Chamberlain covers the campaign to stop the changes to SCHIP.

Test Post

asdf...test blog post with new theme.

what happened to the font options up above?

can I use blockquote code?

I notice that when I click "publishing options" and "authoring information" and the buttons down there, the whole page wobbles, like it's unstable.

Test Breakage

initial toughts on cases and projects

this could be useful if I can change the text of the operations... like not calling them "cases" but something more closely related to activism. if the tech lingo could be converted to activism lingo, this could be a devastatingly effective way to do online organizing.

but right now i'm not comfortable with the idea of automatically promoting cases to the front page. if it was implemented without changes to the text descriptions, it would confuse the hell out of first time visitors.

so..i see some pros and i see some cons. i'll mess around with it some more later.

If this works, two of the tags in the cloud will be bigger.

The Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
