==Description==
In the spirit of the success of the 2004 Sinclair Broadcasting {{tag|Protest}}, we welcome additions for civic engagement where {{tag|people}} vote with their money.
We originally described this collaboratory of collaboratories as a WateringHole as a play on our name, "BlueOxen." (One of our corporate tenets is to use as many bad PaulBunyan? puns as possible.)


At MGTaylor's 2004 7-Domains Workshop in Nashville, MattTaylor described another aspect of a WateringHole that characterizes this space as well. A WateringHole exemplifies coopetition, in that both predator and prey gather there to drink with little fear of being eaten. Matt also pointed out that alligators in the water are the exception to the rule. Here, we try to keep the alligators away.
On our '''CivicActions''' wiki, we document traditional issues like the Primary Process and {{tag|Elections|Electoral}} College, and would encourage more references on Election {{tag|Psychology}} - such as the infamous Ballot Box Question, or how parties get away with Electoral Fraud.

In the spirit of the success of the 2004 Sinclair Broadcasting Protest, we welcome additions for civic engagement where people vote with their money.

On our CivicActions wiki, we document traditional issues like the Primary Process and Electoral College, and would encourage more references on Election Psychology - such as the infamous Ballot Box Question, or how parties get away with Electoral Fraud.
