Letters to the Editor
Problem Solved
There are sections for journalists' special interests on this portal.
Having had a gutful of corporations and governments using other peoples' money and resources to promote their own agendas, social and economic experiments, policies and goals, lies and objectives, without any follow up evaluation as to benefit, success and impact and with little, if any, accountability, I decided to design a resource.
One that would use modern technology and provide people with the means to gain information, express their views and react with a communications capability equal to, or better than, many corporations' and politicians' capabilities.
It has taken me six years and today the Mosaic Portal has launched its full capacity. To see the future of individual activism in the new millennium enter the term "MOSAIC PORTAL" into Google or Yahoo.
