Re: [Wikimedia-l] Executive Director's Letter to Donors

US only or worldwide

I'd reconsider contributing content to WMF projects if WMF became a partisan on issues outside its basic remit.

In particular, I propose that the Executive Director ask donors to support other organizations which are working for free college,[1-4] single payer universal health care,[5] shorter work weeks,[6-7] payroll subsidies,[8] and two-bracket taxation.[9] I believe all of these goals are favored by wikimedians, for wikimedians, I predict at around 80% for the least popular. If there is any question I ask that a statistically robust and significant survey of the question among community and staff be conducted with the urgency commensurate that work in these areas deserves.
