Welcome to Unity08’s new web site. We are very excited to finally set the tone and direction for how we are going to accomplish our goal of remaking American politics by combining our highest values with our newest technologies. If this is your first time here, then we welcome you to Unity08! If you have experienced our site before, you’ll know that this is a major release for us.

Members are now in charge. As a member of Unity08, you can now rank the issues that are most crucial to the country according to you, and view how other members have responded in aggregate. Each issue of the American Agenda is populated by news and web resources submitted by members. It’s not up to Unity08 to tell you how to feel about the issue, it’s up to you to help educate all of us with articles and videos on the important issues facing our great nation. I highly suggest you submit a resource if you come across something that you feel others would value reading, discussing or viewing.

Members now gain "Political Capital" points for participating within the Unity08 community. As you post, invite others, donate, you gain Political Capital points. The more points you gain, the larger your Torch grows signifying a re-energizing of our American community. Soon, your Political Capital points will open additional tools and privileges on the site.

Unity08 is also about volunteering. We have an audacious goal of being on the ballot in every state in the union. But this could not be done without our fantastic volunteers. With groups functionality, and your ability to view eventful and meetup events, we finally have the tools in place to allow easier local organizing for ballot access efforts. I highly encourage you to help, it’s fun, it’s easy, and it’s meaningful.

We are very excited about all aspects of the new web site. I encourage you to enjoy your visit, and help us perfect it by giving us feedback. We were so excited about getting this done that there are some areas within the site where the paint is still wet. You will continue to see changes over the coming months as we prepare for candidate draft movements, posting of questions for the candidates, opening of the convention hall, and the actual voting on the Unity08 ticket to be represented in the general election next November.
