Our Mission

Civic Direct provides tools and services that build and nourish civic engagement networks of leaders, advocates, and investors.

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - Robert F. Kennedy

Health Care Reform At Long Last

All of the great progressive political leaders were smiling down on the US last night as the House vote tally flipped to the magical number of 216.   JFK, RFK. LBJ, FDR, MLK, Harry, Truman, Teddy Kennedy and Roosevelt, and yes, even Richard Nixon, must have been saying its about time.   I sat rivited most of the day to the debate on the floor of the House wating for information as to how the votes would break.  The leadership had expressed confidence for days but you never know when it comes to actually voting.

My Christian Argument for Gay Marriage

 I had another one of the conversations with a conservative Christian about gay marriage. I have had this conversation a million times with fellow Christians and have no problem having it again and again. My latest iteration is probably the most succinct I have been able to be.

First, if you read the Bible from a fundamentalist, literalist perspective, its tough to have much of a conversation. But the truth is even fundies interpret the Bible, even if they don't want to admit it. Homosexuality is case in point.

Julien Smith: record a new episode of In Over Your Head

Few voices remain in my head, in over my head, from the early days of podcasting. Julien Smith was the host of a fantastic spoken word and Hip Hop podcast called In Over Your Head. It’s time for him to record a new episode.

We’re over due. Please start over (again) Julien. It’s better to burn out than to podfade away.

Scott Rasmussen: include all ballot-qualified candidates in their polls, duh!

Dear @RasmussenPoll,

Your polls that exclude ballot-qualified candidates are an anti-democratic farce. One example of many: Green-Rainbow Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein got 60% more certified signatures than she needed, and has polled as high as 8% before the mainstream media was even covering her campaign. Now that she is being invited to all of the major debates and is getting high-profile coverage, she is building up a lot of enthusiastic support that your polling tries to undercut. Shameful!

If you want your polls to reflect reality, include all candidates who will appear on voter’s ballots. Anything else is trying to color the outcome to your favor. Could it be that you don’t like the color green?
