65,000 points of light
I thought it might be interesting and useful to see where everyone is at. I'd like to propose a map of the United States and for every DUer put on the map a point of light. Not only would it be interesting but politicians of certain geographic areas might be swayed by a particular DU stance on an issue due to the points of light in his or her area. Any techies out there wanna volunter?

9. What needs to be done is...
Make an app where the information is entered anonymously.

For instance I log in. (once) enter my info about where
I live. It lights up a little DU colored (Blue I guess)
light.

End of story.

No trace except for the light.

I think this is a cool idea... BTW. :)

3. I'd like to see that myself.
Where I live I know I'm outnumbered by the RWers in central Florida. But I'd still like to see the big picture.

8. It should be updated
and be an icon you can click or or perhaps at some point an opening screen shot when you enter the forums or something, you could also have the light up blue when people are online:hi:

7. i did
At the start... but I doubt they will let it through. Focus on Joe Wilson's wife in the questions... that is the crime and it is overshadowed by the whole sex thing.
