Count me in! I love this idea -- and think it would work best if, as in Canada, we choose one day when everyone does it = can build on synergistic publicity -- perhaps near the 4th of July as a real way to honor our nation??
Suggest you check with the PEW Charitable Trusts -- they sponsored an amazing process, Americans Discuss Social Security, just last year -- which was very sympatico with what you are suggesting, but different in form i.e. not Open Space but nation wide grassroots conversations. Not sure if their website is still up: www.tmn.com/americaspeaks or www.americandiscuss.org Susan **************** Susan Partnow 4425 Baker NW Seattle, WA 98107 voice 206-789-8697 fax 206-782-7786 susan...@aol.com ******************
