I got info about this from some listserv or another:
Hi All,
I wanted to let you know about a research/support
service offered by library workers to activists and
independent journalists.
Radical Reference http://www.radicalreference.info/
was established for the protests against the RNC, but
we're keeping on and will also work on the Counter
Inaugural. In addition to answering questions online
and helping journalists with fact-checking, I hope
we'll have a group of street librarians onsite with
"Ready Reference" kits to help people at the protests.
Pose questions (on any activist topic) via the form on
the website. For more information or to discuss the
project further write to info@radicalreference.info
All my best, Jenna

From http://wiki.mutt.org/index.cgi?action=history&id=MuttFaq/Misc:
One simple way is:
# start a new eMail,
# fill in the template data & body,
# postpone the eMail,
# Copy the template eMail to your templates-folder (repeat for any other templates).
Then, to use a template, apply the resend-message
function on the desired template and continue to fill out the
missing data & body.
You can also read a template from a file with partial headers and
body text when you launch mutt with -H.

Writing this here is really interesting and also somewhat inappropriate, because this really good radio piece critiques media, the Internet, and blogs, which is exactly where I'm mentioning it. These pieces are collected from the Your Radio Nightlight radio show and come from a series of pieces that the shows producer made to reflect his feelings being confronted with all of the socio-political events that we've all been bombarded with of late. The piece that I find most interesting is the last one in this radio show. Initially, I thought his metaphore was crude and contrived, but the point he makes is a very good one. That is, that the problem is that people aren't misiniformed. He argues, that with the Internet, people have access to a number of alternative news sources. He describes the process of trying to tap into this information in an attempt to do something, anything. However, even when bombarded with this fair and more accurate information, it still leaves him and the people around him feeling powerless.
I share this sentiment completely and I had that eerie feeling when listening to the radio piece that one only gets when they hear someone else describing their own life. I think alternative media is very important. Without it, we would all be more ignorant. Things are so bad, also, that I think it's important to have some sort of documentation, maybe as a cautionary tale for future generations, maybe as a marker for future historians to pinpoint where things started going horribly wrong, or maybe for us, here, now to force us to aknowledge that yes, things really are this bad.
Still, for all the information, for all the reality that we consume, filtered through televisions, headphones, and computer displays, we are just as frustrated, just as afraid. Knowledge is power, but in this case, it's not enough. The difficult question is, with all our knowledge, our awareness, even our empathy or concern or fear, what happens next?

Boxcar Website: I made updates to the survey software based on Erin's e-mail. The authentication now gives more chances and the summary of completed surveys is sorted alphabetically.
