On a recent "recruitment trip" to the ACT blog, I couldn't help but notice that both sides of the aisle were being represented in the posts there. There were many posts from Bush supporters that ordinarily would seem out of place on that site. More than one Kerry-Edwards supporter had indicated that the site was over-run by the Pro-Bush people and would not be posting to it until ACT got back to work and didn't let them "gloat" over the election win for Bush.
I personally applaud ACT and the folks that are in control of that blog because to just close the posts to anyone not agreeing with you is simply an act of censorship and does not promote true understanding between the parties. We need to realize that if we don't communicate effectively with all the different "factions" of our great nation we will simply become what we fear they have become !
Yes, I know it bothers many to see posts that appear to only be about rubbing salt into the wounds ,but look at it instead as an invitation for them to see how determined you are to get your views understood and considered by our President no matter whether he is the one you voted for or not. Besides who wants to only hear from people who think exactly like you ?
