I'm looking for volunteers.
I got an idea today (I think I hit my head) that I think will push Kelo back into the limelight. I don't want to go into too much detail yet (mostly because I'm still working out a lot of the details), but, as of now, I'm accepting essays and news items for a new site about eminent domain abuse. This is going to be coupled with public distribution of flyers (which will be published so that anybody else can use them as well), and I'm discussing a few other ideas as well. I'll be posting details here in the next day or two as things shape up, but, as of now, I can tell you all that I need:
Essays--Economic analysis, legal analysis, human interest, whatever. If you can write, go for it. Copyright will, of course, stay with you. pax, think you can find that pen again?
News--Know of eminent domain abuse? Tell me about it. Even if the taking is reasonable, but the payment is fishy, I can probably use it.
Sample letters--Writing your elected representatives? Send me a copy of the letter and I'll post it as a sample.
Money--Of course. We're probably going to use Pair Networks' Advanced hosting plan, which will run about $18/mo, plus a $30 setup fee.
Research--If you know of something and can give me details, great. If you have access to good sources that you can use to research cases I'm given, also great.
Warm bodies--The flyers won't distribute themselves!
Everything will be made freely available for anybody else who wants to use the materials.
If you're interested in helping, or just want more info, PM me, or e-mail me at [email protected] (no, I'm not going to host this on my personal domain). Feel free to repost this elsewhere, send it in e-mail, and give out my contact info.
We (several friends and I) are working under a little bit of a time crunch here (will explain soon), so if you're interested, please act quickly.
Okies, particularly central Oklahoma: I need you guys most of all!
Watch this space for the next couple of days for more details as we flesh things out. If this works, it has the potential to be very cool.
