To turn back the tide of conservative marketing, the Left needs to build an effective, community-edited media presence. The aim of the website and blog

Washington Liberals (http://waliberals.org/)

is to be an open, community-edited messaging center for WA State progressives and liberals to exchange information and plans and gripes and hopes and schemes. It has articles, links, comments, videos, RSS feeds and a calendar.

There are multiple editors already, and our aim, at first, is to maintain a light touch, editing away only spam, hate speech, and right wing b.s. Later, as the site grows, we’ll edit for features like writing quality and length, and we’ll add more structure. Expect some excitement and fights!

Let’s do our part to take back America from the forces on the right who want to turn America into a banana republic. We need good government that serves the people, not just the rich.
