Welcome to my page. My name is Jennifer. [[User talk:JenniferForUnity|Please talk to me]]... or [[Special:Contributions/JenniferForUnity|check out my contribs]] :-)
==A plug for the [http://unitysupporters.com/wiki/ Unity Wiki]==

The Unity Movement is, roughly, the group of USians interested in [[Unity08]]. The big gripe is that politicians seem to be happier stroking America's factional identities with policies that recognize (or diss) various christian/queer/racial groups in ways that can't help but anger significant numbers of people. There are only so many "politician hours" in a year so these divisive issues inevitably take attention away from (1) a ballooning national debt and expanding government, (2) dying oceans (coral and fish stocks are collapsing), and (3) a looming energy shortage that's unprecedented in the history of human civilization. Basically, the US government seems to simply be ''failing to govern''.
Some of our big values are Pragmatism, Civility, Inclusion, Compromise, and Transparency... but what really distinguishes us from "other political wikis" is that we're scheming up a net based political revolution in 2008 with '''an online presidential convention''' and alliances with professional politicians. If this sounds like something you'd be into, I'd really appreciate it if you would check out [http://unitysupporters.com/wiki/ The Unity Wiki]. There's a sister [http://unitysupporters.com/forum/ Unity Supporters Web Forum] but here at Wikipedia what I'm really hoping to find are wiki people committed to a better world and willing to help edit a wiki to that end.
The Unity Movement is still small but shooting for exponential growth... early adopters are crucial and we really need '''you'''.
