How about....

... a web site that consistently highlights those issues, in order of general relevance and importance, which should be defining the nation's agenda, rather just seeking attention-getting headlines?
Then under the main subject headings would be the most efficacious means of addressing those issues, and then, the actual status of those issues in relation to the required action?
There are really only a handful of truly significant issues. Along the top of the page could be: Energy, Environment, Education, Labor (or work related), Taxes, Foreign Relations, Media, Lobbying & Government (which would include election reform.)

People could then be given an ideal for each issue (what we really want), the status of that ideal in real, meaningful terms, i.e which congressmen voted against needed legislation, which advocacy groups are most effective and how ordinary people could help.
Also: Targeted boycotting in relation to this kind of organizing could be extraordinarily effective. We could work with other progressive web sites to keep the focus on these issues, etc...

Who are you?

I am I.
