Google Public Policy Blog To Cover Internet Issues in a "Googley way"

google_policy.pngThe new Google Public Policy Blog launched with two months of posts since it started internally. That's a good way to start any blog: getting the blogging muscles working and getting in the groove of regular posting.

They promise "to do public policy advocacy in a Googley way," asking users to be part of the effort, "to know what we're saying and why, and to help us refine and improve our policy positions and advocacy strategies."

The Google Public Policy Blog will cover issues like net neutrality, censorship, innovation regulation, immigration, R&D, national security, and trade, just to name a few. "All of the members of Google's global public policy team will be contributing posts (or else – right, team?)." The list didn't include ethics, which I hope will be covered since there are many ethics issues upon which Google will have impact.

And apparently, 2008 presidential candidates think they better fill Googlers in on their policies, because the blog includes videos of visits to the (California) Googleplex by Michael Bloomberg, (of course he's running) Sen. John Edwards, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. John McCain, and Gov. Bill Richardson.

I am so glad to see more and more websites are warming to Richardson’s campaign. He is my governor, and I have known him personally for 30 years. What Richardson has achieved vis-a-vis the New Mexico Legislature is remarkable, but I won't recite the accomplishments. I do want to see him President, but I am in no way connected officially to his campaign.

The so called "top-tier" candidates together, all 3 of them, have a collective resume still lesser in quality to Bill Richardson's! I am certain that Richardson’s real genius and his strongest suit is in international affairs, and that will be vital (and I don't mean as just a future US Secretary of State!), if we are going to even attempt to rebuild the shattered US image internationally, after six years of Halliburton-driven corporate kleptocracy. His debate skills have not been as honed and polished as the 3 lawyers in so-called "top tier," but that is fixable. His biography is great (Between Worlds: the Making of an American Life), and the new book on Energy Policy will be just as good.

Here is what I consider the bottom line: you don’t have to be a Marxian or Hegelian or a Ph.D Economist to comprehend that our domestic economy is suffering and going to get worse resulting from the on-going international implications of the screwed up foreign policy of this administration, so thoroughly based on corporate needs and demands; as long as we continue to see appointments like Bush’s trade negotiator Zoelick made over into President of the World Bank to replace “Wolfiewits,” don’t expect ANY major improvements in the last two years of Bush’s tenure, especially in the trickle down economic realms which would improve the lives of individual American consumers.

Richardson has repeatedly made it clear that Congress could deauthorize the Iraq War, and that he personally would end it the first day of his Presidency.

My prediction: Richardson is going to win in Nevada, and he is going to do very very well in Iowa, New Hampshire, and California, I think winning in at least one more of those states. May I suggest that you and your readers directly communicate to David Contarino and Amanda Cooper, his Campaign Manager, and Deputy CM, or to Richardson directly through the email function
on his NM governor website? Compared to all of the other candidates, Richardson and his staff are very open to new ideas, questions, strategies, insights, etc., and I encourage anyone reading to take the time to contact them by phone or by email, even if you have just one question on a policy matter, or want to tell Bill Richardson what YOU think. If you wish, please google the title of my most recent major article, RESOLVING THE WORSENING CRISIS AT THE FDA, published in many nations.

Truly,
