BlueBroward.org

Because this has periodically been the source of misunderstandings, let me say it again: BlueBroward.org does not take sides in races between Democrats, and a campaign or event listing for any particular candidate should not be interpreted that way. If your favorite candidate is not listed on the website, it’s because they haven’t taken advantage of the opportunity, not because I’ve snubbed them. BlueBroward.org is meant to be a “level playing field” between Democrats, a resource that all campaigns can trust to treat them fairly.

This is an editorial policy for the website and does not mean that I don’t have some personal favorites among the candidates, some of whom I’m actively supporting — but privately. Where BlueBroward is concerned, there is nothing I’m doing for the candidates I favor that isn’t available to their competitors. (Although, certainly, I do pester candidates I like a little more to make sure they post their stuff to the website).

One of the things I’m thinking of doing, when I have time to get it organized, is set up some sort of Board of Advisors who could “keep me honest” on this stuff and put a slightly more formal organization behind BlueBroward. But meanwhile I’m doing my best to play it straight.

One other clarification: I list and link to Grassroots Patriots on the website as an “Allied Organization” because I like the work they’re doing to energize grassroots volunteers. However, I’d categorize BlueBroward’s relationship with them as “friendly, but informal.” They’re a completely separate organization with a more formal structure. We try to reinforce each other’s efforts in general, but that’s it.

Clear enough?
