Approval Voting Campaign

I continue to find and contact more authors and dignitaries who have written about Approval Voting in the past. For example, 1986 Nobel Chemistry co-winner Dudley R. Herschbach of Harvard co-wrote an editorial with Steven J. Brams for the May 2001 issue of Science Magazine. (Sadly the link requires a subscription to the Science website, but I asked Science Magazine to grant me linking priviledges and reprint rights. I expect that to be granted without any serious problems.)

I obtained a Tax ID number for the organization and expect to have our first items for sale available shortly. Artists should contact me about creating additional graphics that can be used for AAV logo items.

I got contacted by a local IRV supporter and we had a constructive discussion. Part of my plan is to develop a friendly rivalry with key IRV leaders so that we can use each other as foils to gain publicity while both attacking the current braindead plurality voting system.

I fixed up the appearance of this weblog a bit with the help of Phillip Pearson, creator of bzero. I'll be sticking with bzero for the time being. Thanks Phillip!
