It may be simple, but its not working. There are too many underfunded
sites. Someone needs to put some real money out there, separate
the wheat from the chaff, and get a viable, powerful liberal voice
up and running.

I mean no disrespect to the efforts already out there. They are brave,
committed people. I just want to connect them to semi-activist people
who frequent places like DU and MoveOn. The semi-activists could
contribute real money plus real feedback about what issues will
resonate.

I mean, the right wing runs "focus groups" all the time. Think of what
I'm proposing as a focus group to point the investigators into places
that will result in the investigators getting the best publicity for their
work - and continued support and work.

Please think of what I am proposing as a way to get all these
independent investigators working together as a team - trading
information, sources, etc. They could also use such a website
to post requests for informational resources pertinent to their
investigatiions. (Hard to keep it secret if you had a vote on what
to investigate. Of course, it might only be an area, such as: the
buying of the FCC; so an informational request might not tip
the investigator's hand.)
