ONE UTAH

OneUtah.org: A Voice For Salt Lake City’s Progressive Majority


By Randy Harward, 1-26-06

In a fit of random clicking today I stumbled upon a OneUtah.org, a new blog intended to "serve the majority progressive community in Salt Lake City by featuring the writings and commentary of Utah’s many thoughtful and articulate citizens, community leaders, educators and lawmakers and by facilitating discussion around current events, politics, and religion." Although not officially launched, Cliff Lyon's site already features some great content. Annette Daley's letter about her decision to leave the LDS Church over the faith's marginalization of those who don't fit their ideal is candid and compelling. Lyon's own posts, meant to only introduce the site and establish a tone while he courts guest contributors (University of Utah law professor Edwin Firmage will be the inaugural contributing author), are passionate without falling into obnoxious partisan quacking. If this is any indication of the content to come, One Utah will be a refreshing and sorely needed dose of common sense in the blogosphere. Don't wait for the official launch: start reading now.
