Nonpartisans: What's Next? You Decide.

[Promoted from downthread and edited to reflect more options. Please respond today!]

You've seen our site. You've heard our idea (several times, actually). Now it's time to organize.
Nonpartisanship is a small movement concerned with making big changes in American society. As such, we've got to start small. Here are some ideas that have been put on the table.

1) Continue posting on the blog and publishing a newsletter and write a form letter-to-the editor to be sent to major and minor media markets, spreading the word through word-of-mouth. (This is the easiest alternative and requires the least effort; conversely, it will also have the smallest effect, as our failure so far to get blogrolled on the major political blogs shows.)

2) Form a Nonpartisan League through Meetup.com, an online tool used to organize local clubs in many different cities focused on similar goals.

3) Work local; run a candidate for St. Mary's County Commissioner, or push a bill to get the County Commissioners elected through Instant Runoff Voting. (There actually might be some support for this latter proposal, given that one of the Democratic Commissioners expects to fend off a strong Green Party challenge in two years.)

4) Contact the Center for Voting and Democracy and affiliate with them, or convince them to fund a paper/book on the history and merits of Nonpartisanship. (They are located, fate would have it, in Maryland.)

5) Attempt to form other college chapters by acting as recruiters, traveling to campuses (we'd have to be paid for, of course) and starting up other clubs.

Please let us know in the comments which of these alternatives you prefer. Or just sign in so we know who you are. Basically, use this as an open thread. We're tired of venting. Now it's your turn.
