This panel (a good one) is about how much tech policy will influence the next President. Panelists include:
Tony Perkins - AlwaysOn
Andrew Rasiej, Personal Democracy Forum
Alec Ross, former editor of Red Herring.
Rick White, former Congressman and now of the Wood Bay Group
Rick White noted that tech policy does not drive public policy.
The Red Herring rep noted that then Governor Bush said that 1/3rd of startups in the Valley are started by immigrants, and that President Bush was in favor of immigration helping to foster innovation. #1 Tech Issue is Innovation and that McCain and Bush have been unfairly attacked, but better policy is necessary for a "tech president."
Another interesting note: Broadband is classified as an "entertainment service" and therefore cannot be brought into public housing using public funds, and that there has not been any ear in the White House to fix this. The three remaining '08 candidates understand that Broadband policy is quite important for our economic future.
Andrew Rasiej from PDF asked if we'd solved the digital divide. He noted that the definition of "wired" has changed, and that 10 years ago a business card w/o an email address would not be unusual. He also noted that the "digital divide" goes beyond simply connecting people, it means empowering people to use it.
Rick White asked if the money would be better spent on school lunches. Interesting for a panel on Tech Policy.
The moderator, Sarah Lai Stirland asked what the role of Lobbyists would be for a "Tech President" and noted that Sen. McCain and Clinton have massive amounts of telecom lobbyists on their campaigns. While acknowledging their legitimate role, she asked about the proper role.
Alec Ross would (rightly) not say anything that damns them (lobbyists), saying that they do play an important role. The question for him is "what is the balance?" and called for transparency in communication between legislators, regulators, and lobbyists. He noted that Senator McCain had sent letters on behalf of Paxon Communications (now ION Media Networks) to all five FCC Commissioners regarding the DTV Transition, and wondered if those letters could be made automatically public (since right now they are available, but only after a FOIA request). Congressman White noted that he didn't see a reason why these types of communications between public officials should be public.
I challenged him on this and got no valid answer, especially when I pointed out that McCain was acting on behalf of a donor, not a constituent (ION does not operate any Arizona stations) and that the delay in the DTV transition has harmed the ability of first responders to have interoperable communications.

It’s an aberration that the President of the United States endorses a mosque so close to the biggest and most atrocious terrorist act in the history of the World!It’a spit in the face of the people that died there in horror; their families, and the rest of us Americans. It is unacceptable!We should wait until the mosque is finished, and then blow it up while all the Muslims are in there praying!!! See how they feel about that

I found a similar post on another site and couldn't fully see the implications, but your post makes it easier to understand. Cheers!
Who in God's name assumed constructing a mosque at ground zero was the best idea? I'm not much of a great fan of either Glen Beck or Sarah Palin however in comparison with Obama and the supremely idiotic administration, both of these are prodigies, get real North america, there is certainly a lot of weird stuff happening here. Louise.
