As some of you may know, we are a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in 1999 to promote the development of public spaces on the Internet for meaningful political participation. With Quorum.org, we have a platform for self-publishing and promotion that gives citizens the ability to participate in shaping the public agenda. In order to help make Quorum.org a success, we are putting together a group of several dozen people to contribute "articles" for the launch of the site. Quorum.org articles are short, timely pieces that raise awareness about a news item or concern, as well as being starting points for further conversations. With 35 million people looking for political information on the Internet this election year, we have a unique opportunity to shape how the Internet develops as a political medium. If you are interested in participating in this exciting experiment in democracy (the time commitment required is minimal), please sign up as a Founding Contributor at http://www.democracyproject.org/about_us/index.html#subscribe. Or, forward this email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll follow up with more information for those who are interested. Thanks!
