IS INDYMEDIA AN OPEN WEBSITE YET?
RUBEN MAMANI 11 Sep 2008 21:54 GMTOR, WHY ARE MY POSTS CONSTANTLY ERASED FROM INDYMEDIA BOLIVIA
Recently I published an extensive analysis of the project of Political Constitution presented by the Bolivian government. This project is causing a lot of riots and demonstrations in Bolivia today. We even had four people dead in a riot today.
Seeing this, I considered it importante to analize said Political Constitution project, in order to understand what it is that causes such a strong opposition in important parts of my country.
Sadly, my post was erased THREE TIMES already, limiting the possibility for other people to read and learn from my work. I might not be the best political analist in the world, but I believe my analysis deserves to be read.
It looks line INDY BOLIVIA is controlled by the bolivian government, since they (the government) should be the most interested party in avoinding my analysis to reach the readers. Is that so?
post it here maybe.

Maybe post it as a news story here on the global wire
and link to it from shorter stories you post at a couple
of the indymedias which neighbor to Bolivia? How about
Peru, and how about Brasil?
Not sure how to handle arguing out things with their collective.
Each one is run differently, and usually the style differences
evolve fairly organically based on the members who get active there.
So you might find out where their offices are, and what specific
lists they're using to agree on "policy" etc. There's a good chance
they're badly understaffed and will appreciate your helping out
with all kinds of things.
Hopefully everything else will naturally fall into place, eh?
cheers,
