1: Citizen Cabinet

Provide representative samples of constituents to provide a voice that accurately reflects the values and priorities of each State and Congressional district.

Other Information:

VOP is working to urge Congress to take these new methods to scale so that Members of Congress have a large, scientifically-selected, representative sample of their constituents -- called a Citizen Cabinet -- to be consulted on current issues and providing a voice that accurately reflects the values and priorities of their district or state.

Stakeholder(s):

• National Academy for Public Consultation: VOP ultimately seeks to create a large standing national Citizen Cabinet of over 100,000 Americans, all connected by the Internet, with a representative sample in every state and district, that will be operated by a congressionally-chartered National Academy for Public Consultation.


• Citizen Cabinets: In the near term, with funds from foundations and individual donors, VOP is establishing interim Citizen Cabinets in several states and districts.
