It is important that everyone is heared and can contribute, but we must be very careful with this. There are far more promoters of "Open Source" around (or of proprietary software, for that matter) than people who have really understood Free Software. When it comes to elections - who do you think will get more popularity?
The trouble is, if we push FSF as being different from Open Source, do we run the risk of confusing people? I see your point about elections, but at this point in time, does it make that much difference between OS and FSF? Don't get me wrong, /I/ feel I understand both, and the views of both, but do Joe Public need to see the dividing line between OS and FSF?
Btw, I'm new to this list. Hello everyone :) P.s. I very often state views I don't actually agree with, but state them to make people think about it - plus I feel both sides of a view should be always be shown.
