I'm the co-founder of BlueBroward and its web developer. I try not to use this as my personal 'soap box'. Instead, I hope it can be a communication tool to help us organize better for future elections. I'm a great admirer of my.barackobama.com but also see the value in us having an independent web community for Broward.
I also support the website of the Democratic Professionals Council, a great organization that promotes engagement with the local business community:
