Lisa's vision to train citizens to facilitate dialogue

[Lisa Heft]

Hi, folks -
By now, several of you may be visiting and voting on good ideas at the  
website the Obama administration has set up for citizen ideas about  
participatory government, engagement and collaboration.
Our own Christine Whitney Sanchez has posted a great idea (in  
collaboration with Juanita Brown, Nancy Margulies and other World Cafe  
community folks).

Well, as those of you who know me would know, I feel that majority  
vote is not always an indication about bright ideas because a single  
person with a great idea can shift the world.

And: I added my recommendation and vision to this website so now,  
ironically, I invite you to vote on it - if you, too, wish to share  
this vision.
And do let folks in your networks know of this website and voting  
period (ending very soon) if they, too, would wish to vote.

Take a look at

You can vote on a number of different great ideas at this website -  
and construct your own. Really an interesting experience,

Lisa

PS: It does not say you have to be a US citizen to vote on this  
website, does it? If not, people who live anywhere in the world could  
vote for any idea they think could improve America and Americans,  
fellow citizens in the world...
