I am the owner of WikiYourRights.com and Your-Rights.com. Managing these two websites takes up a lot of my time.

I decided to create WikiYourRights.com because, after maintaining Your-Rights.com for about four years. As I found new information, I found there was even more information that I just didn't have time to document. I found it to be quite impossible.

So I created this wiki so that all of us can document information regarding issues that effect us all.

My blurb

It is very important for everyone of us, as citizens, to make sure that congress is working hardest to make our government most representative of the people, putting citizens before corporations and special interests and not the other way around.

"There has never been a more urgent need to preserve fundamental privacy protections and our system of checks and balances than the need we face today, as illegal government spying, provisions of the Patriot Act and government-sponsored torture programs transcend the bounds of law and our most treasured values in the name of national security." -- from the ACLU's website.

If the Bush administration continues with it's current practice of stripping our liberties, our voices may be forever silenced. The NSA spy scandal is but one recent example that most everyone knows about. However, issues such as Network neutrality and seem to be unheard of to a lot people.

Letters

These are letters that people have sent me.

A note from Speedracer, the creator of this wiki:

First, a quick answer to your question: YES! You can edit this page without asking permission!

Why did I create this Wiki?

In my opinion, it seems that people are to busy watching American Idol or worrying about who is going to get Anna Nicole's baby than paying attention to what will directly effect them. If they don't open their eyes soon, they may never be able to stop the runaway train heading down the dead end track.

My analogy: Someone is walking down the sidewalk so preoccupied with something on the other side of the street that they fail to see the sign post they are about to run into. I'm just trying to say, "Lookout!" and direct their attention to something more important.

Unfortunately, people are so distracted with what is going on in their own micro-environments, they fail to see the big picture of what is going on in the real world in which they live.

I created the Your-Rights.com website because I wanted to share the information that I found while web surfing, listening to Air America, etc. with other people. I feel it is important for other people to have a greater chance to see what I have seen.

After operating Your-Rights.com for over four years, I was getting a bit burned out from blogging about all the depressing current events. I decided to give others the opportunity to share their knowledge and concerns through the medium of a wiki.

I feel a wiki is a great way to share information for several reasons. It is fairly easy to use the wiki software. Unlike most other web interfaces, a wiki allows anyone to update existing articles or create completely new ones. This allows anyone to fix typo's, remove false information and add additional information.

By viewing the popular pages list, you will notice that people do actually view the pages within this wiki. Unfortunately, besides me there has only been one other person contribute anything besides SPAM content.

Here is something that I feel deserves more attention, especially since people are starting to be more aware of the issues involved with global warming.

The article you will see by following this link is a short paragraph which has a lot of links. If you view each of the links, you will learn a lot about this issue, which definitely needs some real public debate.

There is a lot of very important information within that article. If you take the time to review the provided links, you will probably be appalled by the inner workings of the War on drugs!

The above link goes to my other website, which I designed. It may not be the best website that you have ever seen. Some people have even told me, "That site sucks!" Aesthetics are nice to look at, but the information is what is most important. As you most likely already know, mean people will drive you into the ground if you let them. And besides, if you don't like the way it looks, why not offer to help make it look better?

I try my best to get people to open their eyes. Hopefully I am creating a positive effect and making a difference by helping people start thinking about the world in which they live instead of the world of their favorite celebrities.

If you know of something which you feel would be beneficial for others to know about, please feel free to go ahead and add your information. Please don't be afraid that you might mess everything up or something similar. Anything that you could possibly break is very easy to fix!

If you can't figure something out, feel free to ask me for help! I have contact information on my user page.
