Overview: Like millions of Americans, we're disgusted at the direction the country's going. But we're also shocked at the lack of a coherent response by the broader left of the political spectrum.

Some examples: We have an anti-war movement, but it only rarely puts feet into the streets. We have a massive assault on the Constitution and Bill of Rights and, amazingly, besides the ACLU, Center for Constitutional Rights, and very few others, there is no organized opposition. Working-class Americans and organized labor are under attack from every angle, yet there is little militant solidarity. Millions of people are sickened by our two-party duopoly, but that is not translated into effective electoral opposition.

To paraphrase Mother Jones, we need to start raising some hell. We need to raise hell in a more organized manner. We need the left to step up.

In our own feeble way, we want to offer some help in the geek/computer realm.

Here's what we're offering to organizations of the political left:

1. If you need an Internet presence, we'll give you one. No cost involved. This could be any/all of the following:

A low/medium volume web site, completely under your control. No ads, no bullshit, no fees. You run it as you want.

Full e-mail and/or e-mail mailing list capabilities.

Use of a "BitTorrent" tracker system for you to distribute videos, speeches, or other large/high volume files.

Minor technical assistance to help you get things up and make sense of the technologies offered. (Note: This is not meant to imply a 24/7 help desk or a commitment to meet your every whim and desire -- it's an offer of help to get you up and running so you can do your thing.)

2. If you need help distributing video or audio recordings that your group has made, we'll help you. Your video and/or audio materials that your organization has created can be easily distributed through the Internet via BitTorrent trackers. There's no guarantees of popularity, but we will happily put your material on a half-dozen or so popular BitTorrent trackers and make it readily available to literally hundreds of thousands of (mostly young-ish) people. Or if you'd rather do it yourself, we'll help you overcome the BitTorrent learning curve and explain things.
