New site, same determination
posted by David Doe, 22 Jan 2010
Hello and welcome to the all-singing, all-dancing, new and improved, actually put together by someone with programming skills, Gamers4Croydon website.
In the top right corner, you should see a "Contact your Federal MP" area. If you enter your postcode, you will be told who your current Federal MP is, and it will give you the option to send them an email. You can use our mail template, or you can write it yourself. In either case, the option to speak directly with your representation in Federal Parliament is a few clicks away.
By now you would have seen our marketplace widget at the bottom of the page. Help spread the word about Gamers4Croydon by buying our merchandise. It not only helps fund the election campaign, but you wearing or displaying our logo helps build awareness of the party.
We still have our Donations area operating, and we will still be making all donations publicly viewable (with personal details withheld) throughout the campaign. All monies being spent on electioneering material can also be found on this page as a full and thorough account of what we're doing with your money. True to our initial promise, anything we do not use during the course of the campaign will be donated to the Child's Play Charity. (And just so you know, the first $1500 of donations to any political party are full tax deductible.) All of this is in line with our overall aim of more transparency in government.
You're going to hear an awful lot about Gamers4Croydon in the coming months. You may even hear some disparaging comments from elected ministers about us. What you need to know is this : We want to bring some semblance of dignity to Parliament. We want to give everyone the opportunity to make their own fully-informed decisions relating to the type of content they and their family engage with. And we want to develop South Australia into a progressive world leader in renewable energy production and manufacturing infrastructure.
We game, and we vote.
My name is David Doe, and I'm a Gamer4Croydon.
