We are closing our meeting early and encouraging your particiapation in the local America Speaks event. This will occur in the same location. YOU MUST REGISTER TO ATTEND THAT DISCUSSION. We at the LWV believe it is important to be involved and strongly encourage you to participate in both events.

The following is an excerpt from the America Speaks V.P. of Citizen Engagement - about the people involved and purpose...

"members of a local tea party will be sitting down and actually talking with people from MoveOn. They may be disagreeing, but they will be at a table talking to each other for the first time. A broadcast will be linking together 19 sites, each of which is polling together and submitting ideas to a theme team, in a way that has never quite been done before in this configuration. In more than 40 other sites, people will be joining the process in Community Conversations.  Hundreds of facilitators and thousands of participants will be experiencing the AmericaSpeaks process for the first time. While it may not match spot-on the exact demographics of the country, it will be the largest, most diverse group that has ever come together on this issue. And media all across the country will be watching this odd thing take place in which the public actually has a constructive discussion about policy.All the mistakes that we made and stresses we encountered will be done. And we'll just be organizing an unprecedented national discussion that no one has ever done before."
