Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California) is using Platial to provide a new way for people to stand with her and show their support. Supporters can add themselves to Senator Boxer’s Platial map along with a photo and a message about why they are behind her, collectively building a map that shows support for Senator Boxer across the country and even around the world.
Supporters who want to help spread the word about Senator Boxer’s Platial map can grab the code and repost it on their own profiles, blogs, and websites.
Senator Boxer eventually plans to add new Platial maps to provide her supporters with additional ways to get involved online and voice their opinions on issues that matter to them. To stand up and be counted as a supporter of Senator Boxer, add yourself to her Platial map now!

But i have a question - i am having trouble getting the "starting location" to display the continental USA. help!

Hi, Colin.
This is a bug I will try to get fixed as quickly as possible. In the meantime, I do have a work-around for you. Just seed the map with a few places on each coast, and the auto-span will kick in to show them all nicely.
