You don’t just have to list bills in your Photosynthesis portfolio — you can advocate for or against them, too, so that anybody viewing your public portfolio can see your arguments. While viewing your portfolio, look over on the far right side of any table row listing a bill. You’ll see two letters — “x” and “e.” These little links mean “delete” and “edit,” respectively. (We’ll have something less cryptic soon — we promise.)
Click on the “e” next to the bill that you want to write up your position on, and you’ll be presented with a text box where you can write whatever you like. Basic HTML is permitted, and you can write as much as you want. Whether you want to provide a few words or an entire position paper, just text or embed YouTube video, that’s your space to try to persuade others to see things from your perspective.
Right now your notes appear only in your portfolio, but soon enough they’ll be integrated with the comments within bill pages, which will put your $0.02 in front of hundreds or thousands of readers.
