Pushing Back - its a weekend thing

Ian White thumb_white.gif
I have to thank JP Rangaswami. for alerting me to Sean Tevis in Oklahoma Olathe, Kansas. Sean is fed up with his state representative and has decided to harness the power of Web 2.0 to build up a head of steam in his own campaign for office. 

He has posted a great cartoon on his website that communicates his campaign approach in a very amusing and effective way. One little guy standing up against the system. 

But the system itself can get its 'knickers in a twist'. 

Earlier this year the British government decided it wanted to log everything (no I mean everything) regarding our electronic communications. Is seems that the amount of push back they have received has made them vacillate a bit. The BBC has a succinct story on what they are trying to do and who and why others are trying to stop them. It is very educational article.

Stand up for what you believe in and have a nice week-end.

Updated to reflect the right state - sorry for the mistake

Just for the record, Sean Tevis is running for the Kansas state legislature (representing Olathe, Kansas), not Oklahoma.
