Common Sense Politics Daily, Newtopia's electronic news bulletin from Editor-in-Chief Charles Shaw, has seen an amazing amount of subscription growth over the last year. The daily e-letter offers a full spectrum of information in both commercial and independent media about what’s currently in the news, important commentary on current events, up-to-the-minute articles and references surrounding controversial and newsworthy happenings.
Recently, a letter to President Bush from a gay, male father in California was circulated as a Common Sense Politics Daily item. The letter addressed the proposed Musgrave Amendment banning same-sex marriage, and it featured a photo of the author with his partner and their two adopted sons. The author of the letter received comments from friends all over the world who had been forwarded this particular Common Sense Politics Daily, and members of Canada’s religious gay rights groups posted the letter on their legislative action “to do list” groups encouraging others of like minds to write Mr. Bush and share their disapproval of his views.
This ability to reach others via three to four degrees of separation is what Newtopia is all about!
