We have some good discussions on some groups of grievances. I think that having polls will also help us narrow down the field of grievances that are in the running for Top 10. We will still need official votes at the convention, of course.
I could see having one poll per grievance, unless this forum software can be modified to allow multiple polls per thread.

It is my understanding that the convention will start with some initial voting on 100 grievences. WHERE I can locate a complete readable copy of the 100 grievences? Are they located here? www.the99declaration.org/full_text

mhuttman: Appears that having straw votes through polls for the 100 INITIAL grievences is a productive idea if there are approximately the same number of delegates here that will vote via the poll here as the number of delegates that will be at the convention.

No one knows how many people will be at the convention. If the vegas bookmakers were putting the over/under at 190, I'd bet the under.

I'll put the over/under at 50, and that's including staff. Its the effort that counts at this point, and frankly anyone who has the initiative to fly/drive/etc. to Philly for this is someone that I want to get in touch with.

Ummm, Frank, please observe what you've just written. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 LIST OF COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS 1. All or nothing thinking: Things are placed in black or white categories. If things are less than perfect self is viewed as failure. 2. Over generalization: Single event is viewed as continuous failure. 3. Mental filter: Details in life (positive or negative) are amplified in importance while opposite is rejected. 4. Minimizing: Perceiving one or opposite experiences (positive or negative) as absolute and maintaining singularity of belief to one or the other. 5. Mind reading: One absolutely concludes that others are reacting positively or negatively without investigating reality. 6. Fortune Telling: Based on previous 5 distortions, anticipation of negative or positive outcome of situations is established 7. Catastrophizing: Exaggerated importance of self's failures and others successes. 8. Emotional reasoning: One feels as though emotional state IS reality of situation 9. "Should" statements: Self imposed rules about behavior creating guilt at self inability to adhere and anger at others in their inability to conform to self's rules. 10. Labeling: Instead of understanding errors over generalization is applied. 11. Personalization: Thinking that the actions or statements of others are a reaction to you. 12. Entitlement: Believing that you deserve things you have not earned.I submit that the words of Lincoln and those of the Declaration of Independence underline the primacy of the rights at stake with a mass petition for grievance at this time. It is vital to claim this right in the beginning. It's violation and deprival has a long list of grievances."The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." September 17, 1859, speech in Cincinnati, OH --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, Discuss my evidence while presenting yours in the area of the deprivation of our first right.

I don't believe I can set up multiple polls per thread, at least not with what proboards offers.
However, part of the maintenance plan is to start going through the grievance threads, organizing them a bit better, and setting up polls for each one in their respective boards (once I get them up).
I'm a little behind on forum maintenance, but will be getting it knocked out over the next couple of days, now that I have no other tasks at hand to accomplish.
