2.1: Millions of Voices
Use a variety of methods to ensure that more than one million Americans can take part in a meaningful way. Other Information:
National discussions will use a variety of methods to ensure that more than one million Americans can take part in a meaningful
way. Some people will weigh in by participating in massive national town meetings that link gatherings around the country
together by satellite, so that Americans in Buffalo can speak with Americans in San Jose, Boise, Birmingham and other communities
around the nation. Others will host their own conversations in their homes, places of work or community centers. In small
groups, they will wrestle with the challenges facing our nation and then submit their ideas over the Internet. Still others
who cannot attend the national discussion in person will join the process online, where they will work with a small group
in a virtual discussion space before registering their priorities. Each National Discussion will engage Americans from every
walk of life and every corner of the nation. By providing so many people with a meaningful voice, we can help restore public
trust in our governing institutions and energize the civic spirit of America.
