As many of you know, the Internet Advocacy Roundtable has found a new home at the Center for American Progress Action Fund (coincidentally, it showed up here shortly after I started working here…hmmmm… not really a coincidence, I suppose).

But for those of you curious about upcoming Roundtables or interested in materials from past Roundtables, there is plenty of info here.

On October 29, 2007, the Internet Advocacy Roundtable (now a project of the Center for American Progress Action Fund) featured a special session on Free Tech Tools for Non-Profits. Following the event, I posted a Google Doc (one of the free tools discussed at the event) with a slew of resources discussed at the event (and others). You can access this document here.

Enjoy and feel free to email me with more suggested resources to add.

Like John Locke, I believe that all conflicts can be resolved by rational discourse. Of course, both sides have to be rational and discoursing. But if the planets align, the wonders of rational decision-making can be the route to good policy and good lives.

So one would think that if we inserted rational decision making tools into the presidential selection process, that would be a good thing. At least in principle.

But do we vote with our heads or with our hearts? Do we pick the candidate we agree with the most or the one who makes us feel good? For those who vote with their heads, three new websites should appeal strongly to your desire to understand what you get with your vote, at least in principle.
