WordPress Origin Story

In July 2008, some 23,000 supporters recoiled at Candidate Obama’s support of warrantless wiretapping. When we felt that staying on MyBO was inappropriate, we moved to a wiki and ultimately a WordPress blog, getfisaright.wordpress.com—here is the celebratory video we did asking the newly-elected president to #GetFISARight: https://getfisaright.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/congratulations-president-obama-please-get-fisa-right/
Since then, I have been on maintenance teams for a good half-dozen or more WordPress sites, including 4 currently.
