Keystone XL pipeline[edit]

Nothing on the controversy over the group's support of the Keystone XL pipeline? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.136.32 (talk) 20:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned in the "Political lobbying and ads" section and also in the "Viability of the approach" section. The Keystone XL Pipeline isn't mentioned by name, but the general thrust is there. You could add a reference to it; I didn't want to include too much specific detailed information since the particular controversy changes from day to day. Vipul (talk) 05:19, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to add this as its own subject under reception, as it was a major controversy that caused two big name -- Elon Musk and David Sacks -- to leave the group. Fortibus (talk) 18:18, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation?[edit]

What is the correct way to pronounce the name of this organization? Is it "forward dot U.S.", "forward us", "F.W.D. dot U.S." or something else? --JHP (talk) 08:21, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Political Leaning[edit]

It seems this section is an individual's political analysis of the group's actions. All information in this section is also covered under the "Criticisms" section, so it is a bit redundant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.42.157.91 (talk) 20:01, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated information[edit]

This article doesn't have any information from after 2014. Their website doesn't seem to have much of the stuff that made them controversial back in 2013 and 2014, so I assume they've moved closer to the views of other pro-immigration organizations. In particular, the article is missing information on their response to Trump's immigration policies. Qzekrom (talk) 01:00, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Serious WP:SOAPBOX concerns with the lede[edit]

In its current form, the lede is full of weasel words and uses the organization's own defintions to define its policy goals. "Immigration reform" is incredibly vague (do they want more immigration? less? A path to citizenship? E-Verify? That could mean anything). "The facilitation of scientific breakthroughs with broad public benefits" is blatant WP:SOAP, and so weasel-y I'm not even sure what it means in any concrete terms. This is an organization that supports higher levels of visas and amnesty for undocumented immigrants, which has a liberal bias, according to RS. The lede ought to reflect that.
