Start an Online Public Commons

Despite thousands of political online discussions across the Internet, an active "online public commons" e-mail list probably does not -yet- exist for your town, region, or nation. Most online discussions are based on a specific topic, cause, or hosted by someone with an ax to grind or secret agenda. What we need are geography/democracy-based multi-topic online public spaces sponsored in a non-partisan way (by a group of individuals through a club, non-profit, or community partnership, etc.) where citizens from across the political spectrum gather for online discussion and deliberation on real public issues. http://www.e-democracy.org/do/commons.html
