**Update** Thanks for all the responses, guys.

It seems from this little experiment that there's not quite enough interest to kick-start a really successful union, but I found another union called Church and State with already 700+ members that focuses on religion and politics.

So rather than start a new union, I'm going to begin to post there and recommend it to everyone else. Hope that's cool with everybody :)

I've talked politics with a lot of people in the past, but it's usually been off-topic on a board not designed for those kinds of conversations.

I think there are a lot of good opinions and ideas out there, if there was just a good place to talk about them.

Some sample topics might be terrorism, elections, the Iraq War, etc.

Also, we could discuss daily news stories, as well as any political humor from TV programs like the Daily Show, etc.

So would anyone be interested?

I'm just writing this blog to gauge interest.
