Purpose of this Blog

The idea of this blog is to discuss ideas about politics and political reform, on elections, parties, constitutional amendments and such.  The main focus is on the United States, but there will be commentaries on other countries for comparison.  The blog itself is non-partisan but I will probably take sides on some issues, and of course you are free to challenge me, or bring up new issues for discussion.  Anything I post is up for grabs as the name implies; if you want to use it yourself or for your group or party, you're more than welcome.
