VOIDnow.Org: 1 month old.
Update:
Here is a graph of our visitor and page read stats since going online Oct. 16. (click Continue Reading link below, for larger graph.)
Many thanks to Daniel Summars for redesigning VOID's logos for use by Web site Owner supporters (see right column).
Our staff worked tirelessly to spread the word on political blog sites this last week. We received dozens of new visitors to our site as a result. Technorati is picking up some of our writings, and Lisa Ward has written an excellent article on her site about her support for VOIDnow.Org.
Correspondence continues to take place between our organization and other parties leaders. I am in correspondence with TIm Babbidge who is running for office as a challenger in Aurora, Colorado. He supports much of the VOID concept. Tim Babbidge has an excellent article about non-voters, a group VOID will have to reach eventually to be
successful in its mission.
We are creating some code which bloggers and web site owners can include in their web page which will show their support for VOID by displaying our logo with a link to our web site. I want to call on all VOID supporters to frequent the sites listed on our BlogRoll in the right column under Bloggers for VOID. Please visit these sites a couple times per month and leave comments on their articles. This is a very important way we can thank these fine folks for their support of our cause.
We are going to spend some time this week getting our VOID site crawled by the major search engines. Since we have a number of tasks underway, this will be the only new initiative until some of the other tasks started are completed. In this coming month, we will be contacting potential donors, and reaching out to leaders in even more 3rd parties.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement. We here at VOID will remember you and each other as we recount our blessings on this Thanksgiving. Be happy; we are going to change American politics and government in ways our children can be proud of and thankful for in their many Thanksgivings to come.

The thanks goes to Stephanie as well linking VOID at my blog. From our discussions at Watch Blog I agreed with your no incumbent theory and I was personally very happy to see that you have taken it to an actual campaign. I'll continue to do what I can to help get this out there because I do believe it can work.
Thank you David for doing this. Major {Kudos} for your efforts. I also thank you for taking the time to explain this to me as I do realize my dream of more third party/independent candidates can still exist but your plan would be a much more realistic solution to what so many of us want.

Lisa, great to have you here. And thanks so very much for your vote of support.
We have a password protected volunteer site. If in the future you are interested in contributing an hour or two a week, just click on our Join Our Staff link on the front page left column.
Also, if you find some loose bucks floating around, our Donations/Donors link works with Paypal and credit cards. Holidays are not a good time for asking, but if next year you are inclined to support VOID in either of these ways, you will be loved even more than you are already around here. :-)
And thanks again for your great article on VOIDnow.Org.
