In August, I wrote about a need to start a discussion on the Right about technology-related issues. It's my thought that the lack of discussion on the Right wasn't because conservatives didn't care about these issues, but rather, a lack of information and an appropriate forum to discuss them.

Today I'm pleased to announce the TechRepublican Policy Series, a semi-regular forum for conservatives to discuss technology-related issues from their perspectives.

To kick-off the series we're going to be taking a close look at the issue of Net Neutrality. On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, we'll hear from two conservatives arguing either FOR or AGAINST the issue respectively.

The Ground Rules

The essays will run equally for one day and will remain "sticky" at the top of this space for the duration of that period of time. (Don't worry, you'll still find great TechRepublican content updated throughout the day, but you'll have to scroll down to find the latest entries.)

After the series runs, we're going to provide a 250-word rebuttal to each side which will run collectively on Tuesday of the following week. If the “For” argument posts first, their follow-up post will be posted below the “Against” argument.

Upon completion of the series, you'll be able to find the posts for future reference on the right-hand side of this blog.

Now the Fun Part.

This week's issue is Net Neutrality, but I'm currently looking for suggestions for our next series. Please leave your ideas in the comments of this post or email me at David.All AT TechRepublican.com. And if you’re interested in writing the essay, please let me know that too.

Thanks for your participation, and I look forward to hearing your feedback on how we can collectively improve or expand this forum to better inform TechRepublicans about these important issues.
