Mission Statement
E-Democracy builds online public space in the heart of real democracy and community. Our mission is to harness the power of online tools to support participation in public life, strengthen communities, and build democracy.
The US Issues Forum is an experimental online forum for the sharing of information on and discussion of US politics and public policy. Through the end of 2009 it will test a slow-paced format to promote a more deliberative yet still vigorous exchange. This forum is more about the presentation of ideas and information than being right with one's ideology.
The purpose of the United States Issues Forum is for sharing information and discussing national public policy issues and politics in the United States among people with diverse political perspectives. Conversations may include topics from today's Congressional hearings, White House press briefings, breaking national news stories with policy implications, etc. (NOT FULLY OPEN).
