Growing Pains (none / 0)

It looks to me just growing pains.  This is a relatively young company and has a very noble purpose.  I am not sure the purpose of rehashing this all the time--discourage people to join?

Last time you said you will write on solutions? Where is it?

Do you have a beef with CGI and this is revenge time?

you're missing it (none / 0)

Jasmine - please don't insult Greg, myself or others who have posted here. This is clearly not axe-grinding.  There are a lot of us here trying to have a conversation. If you don't want to think about these things, then don't engage -- but if you do choose to engage, don't trivialize us by implying that we are being petty or spiteful. We're having this conversation because we think it's important to make this right.

Hurts so good? (none / 0)

Patience, jasmine! I should note that my solutions aren't going to reinvent the wheel -- just some simple, common-sense suggestions that might help bring about some change within this closed system.

In the meantime, I want to make a note here to anyone who is about to hit the comments to tell us that my 'complaints are outdated,' that GCI was just going through growing pains, nothing to see here move along people.  Don't bother, unless you are able and willing to report to us the following number:

How many of GCI's field organizers have already quit MoveOn's Operation Democracy?

Taking back the country is suppose to be hard (none / 0)

It is hard work--taking back Democracy.  So it is not for everyone.  It is not suppose to be a well paid job.  It is suppose to be a service to community and Democracy.

Sorry, I cannot understand why you are complaining.

I just want to say..
There are plenty of assholes out there (here). There are plenty of lazy people! There are plenty of capitalists, needy freaks, and sorry losers. These are NOT the people that will succeed or find success following the GCI model. Just my opinion. Much experienced.
