About Gather's Election 2006 Content Series
Voting is not only a right but also a privilege and responsibility. With the 2006 mid-term elections just around the corner, Gather.com is helping members keep tabs on this year's candidates and issues though a month-long content series with articles by grassroots reporting from Gather members.
Writers from some of the states with the most hotly contested races bring you compelling and comprehensive election coverage through the eyes of a local observer. The reporting team consists of fourteen designated Gather reporters representing both ends of the political spectrum. While a group of seven liberals and seven conservatives could probably fuel their own discussions for more than four weeks, your comments are needed here, too. Join the debate!
The series runs Wednesday, October 11 through Tuesday, November 7 with regular postings from each state, culminating in an exciting round of ongoing coverage of Election Night results on the Gather homepage. Our nationwide coverage will run for 24 hours, beginning at 7:00 PM EST on November 7, 2006.
Voice your opinions on the candidates and issues and keep pace with the flow of news and events through Gather's Election 2006 group. And check in on Election Night to watch the results come in!
Please Note: All Gather members are welcome to publish content to the Election 2006 group. Content in the group is moderated and commentary from all political perspectives is highly encouraged. However, we ask that writers follow a few guidelines when publishing.
1) Content must be related to the upcoming Congressional and Gubernatorial elections
2) Content must include some personal analysis on a political campaign or campaign issue
3) Content must be thought-provoking, original, and well-written
4) Keep the dialogue on series content respectful but conversational. Politics is a passionate subject for many, but as always, Gather encourages constructive conversation on the issues.
