MeetMerced.com Site Philosophy

The overall guiding philosophy of MeetMerced.com is that we as citizens, have the power to change the social, political, and cultural atmosphere of the community we live in by joining together and fighting for a better Merced.

We can't just complain about things and expect them to get fixed. We must offer solutions when we find problems in order to get something done. This site allows us citizens to come together, speak our minds, and get involved in the community.

This site is not just for people who are bored with Merced and surrounding areas, but for people who love Merced and want to improve the atmosphere, culture, and environment.

Lets face it, we are not the small town we were 20 years ago. We have grown by leaps and bounds and are still growing. That growth brings about change and we, as citizens, can help steer the community in the right direction.

How you say?

MeetMerced.com is a tool for the citizens. Its an open forum and platform for communications.

Consider the implications of using this site to discuss improving our community. Not just the social atmosphere, but schools, air pollution, environment, etc. If we share our ideas and lots of people know about them, they are bound to get back to our leaders who can implement them.

If you want to improve the social atmosphere and culture of our city, then post local events to the MeetMerced.com calendar and write reviews about local bands and restaurants. If we share this kind of information, then everyone is in the know and others will know what to look for and where to go to have good time.

How it works is simple. The content on this site will come from ordinary users and MeetMerced.com Staff. All that you need to do to begin is create a profile and begin posting. We know you can do it. Your content will remain your property.

Its time for us to take ownership of our growing city and restore Merced to its former glory.

Thanks,
MeetMerced.com Staff
