The standard way is to pick a newsgroup that's close enough and start
talking.  If the traffic picks up to the point that you really need a
newsgroup of your own (wait a month or two) then take votes by mail.
You can read more details in news.announce.newusers and such places.

Some potentially appropriate newsgroups would be
	misc.headlines		## for current issues
	sci.misc		## always safe
	bionet.sci-resources	## check the official description,
				## and not everyone gets bionet.
	talk.politics.misc	##
