A few weeks back I blogged about a new initiative that BlogHer was tackling: BlogHers Act.
Since then, a lot has happened:
- The phrase "BlogHers Act" has gone from 0 hits to over 44,000 hits on Google.
- There were literally hundreds of blog posts and comments making suggestions for the single global issue we should tackle for a year, and for the four top issues we should include in our 2008 Voter Manifesto.
- Some neighbors to the North reached out and volunteered to lead a third BlogHers Act project: introducing BlogHers Act Canada!
But, now it's time to take the next step: Vote in the survey.
We've compiled all the suggestions and consolidated them into one big list of potential global activism issues and one big list of '08 election issues.
Tell us what issues you think are most important.
Tell us what issues you would NOT support.
But mostly, tell us!
I'll be honest: on another blog I expressed surprise that more people weren't suggesting health-care issues as the issues we should be tackling. Amy at Diabetes Mine blogged that, and a few more health posts went up. BUt when it comes to the voting? Health is among the top contenders.
What an I now surprised by? That Global Warming and the Environment isn't running away with it. A LOT of the pre-survey blogging and commenting was about environmental issues. But where are the voters for that cause? Don't get me wrong, they're there, but I honestly thought it might be a blow-out.
Which, I suppose, goes to show that there will always be a difference between what people say in public and what they express in private.
If you want to influence the decisions you have until July 8th: vote now!
