Persuasion Tuesdays (PTs) are an organized way for center-right bloggers to post constructive articles on issues important to them. The connectivity of Web 2.0 affords us the opportunity to discuss these issues in a positive way and connect with others who feel the same. The goal of PT is to provide coherent arguments that lead to the enactment of the positions important to us.
So much of the blogosphere, particularly the political portion, is devoted to attack pieces. Persuasion Tuesday is a chance to get away from the vitriol and bile and give positive reasons for our philosophies. Participation is simple. On Tuesdays, post about some issue important to you. The post can be your position, an argument in favor of it, a video demonstrating it, the results of a discussion about it with friends or opponents, a refinement or discussion of someone else's PT, anything you like. The post must be affirmative in nature. Attacking opponents is not in the spirit of PTs. Participants are encouraged to strongly moderate the comments on these posts and remove those whose tone is uncivil.
