Hi Everyone, I wanted to let you all know about the opening of the Rockridge Institute Action Network. I think I first heard about Rockridge through this site. And now I've had the priviledge of working with them to set this up.
Enjoy!

"The Rockridge Institute would like to invite concerned Americans to join an online discussion on framing and policy issues. The Rockridge Action Network (
http://forum.rockridgeinstitute.org) is a pilot of an online community focused on framing and public policy based on progressive principles. Since the 2004 elections, many activists and others have been asking us when we'll have an online forum, and today, January 4, is that day.
The Rockridge Action Network is a place where activists, journalists, policy makers, and framing experts can come together and discuss how to frame their values, ideas and policies. The discussion will take off from where George Lakoff's book, Don't Think of an Elephant, began and will put those ideas into everyday practice. On the boards users will find a place to discuss framing, talk about real life examples of framing, strategize, and note how both progressive and conservative frames are being used in the media.
"Come to the Rockridge Action Network and be a part of the development of this important step in advancing the progressive vision for America."
