[EM] Introduction

[Richard Fobes]

Jon, welcome!

To add to Jon's self-introduction, I'll say to other participants here 
that, based on my earlier interactions with him, Jon quickly comprehends 
plain-English voting explanations, which is an appreciated contrast to 
many reform-minded folks who, in my opinion, are fixated on symptoms 
rather than solutions.

Jon, we appreciate that you can help us get our knowledge of election 
methods in front of the countless voters who are trying to figure out 
ways to improve the election system.

Especially, thank you for posting this group's (executive summary of 
the) "Declaration of Election-Method Reform Advocates" on your website 
and thereby helping more people understand the root of our unfair 
election system.  This explains why recently there have been some new 
Facebook "likes" for the associated Facebook page.

When you are ready to announce your Rebuild Democracy project (along 
with the big names), Adrian at Democracy Chronicles (.com), who 
participates here, can help you promote it at his online "newspaper."

Clarification to Adrian: Jon is the person who asked for my opinion 
about Arizona's proposition for a so-called "top-two" primary, which led 
to using what I wrote to Jon as the content for my recent article at 
Democracy Chronicles.

Jon, thanks for joining us.

Richard Fobes
