I'm pleased to announce the public launch of a new project: Campaign Truth 2004!

The intent of Campaign Truth is to provide a portal where bloggers and other interested folk can gather links to information which sheds light on where the candidates stand on issues in the 2004 Presidential Campaign. By harnessing the collaborative power of bloggers that has been proven by sites such as The Command Post and by the influence of the blogosphere itself, Campaign Truth will provide a place where voters can come to get past the story-of-the-moment in the media, and dig deep into candidates' true positions on the issues that matter to them most.

The site is now live and open to the public, but is extremely light on actual content. That's where you come in! I'm putting out a call for assistance to any and all interested bloggers and blog-readers who would like to contribute. It's easy: just post comments on the relevant topic entry for the candidate you've found info on, and the information will be periodically rolled up into the body of the page by the editors (well, editor: at the moment, it's just me.)

For more information, see the FAQ, or just drop me a line.

The site is an evolving work in progress, so suggestions, comments, and feedback are very much welcome.

I hope you'll all join me in this effort to bring a focus on substance to the 2004 campaign. Because as the banner says: it's about the issues, stupid!
