Anyone involved with www.letstalkamerica.org? It looks possibly interesting (I saw it mentioned at www.newdimensions.org).

If anyone here is involved in it, I'm wondering what your experience is?

Excerpt from the front page:

Welcome!

We need to talk. We believe the time is ripe for a national dialogue on the state of our democracy. One that is inclusive of all political viewpoints. Such a conversation is the idea behind Let's Talk America.

"A House divided against itself cannot stand."
- Abraham Lincoln
Springfield, Illinois, 1858

Let’s Talk America is a nationwide movement that will bring Americans from all points on the political spectrum together in cafes, bookstores, churches and living rooms for lively, open-hearted dialogue to consider questions essential to the future of our democracy. Let’s Talk America reconnects with the ‘town hall’ meeting spirit that’s the lifeblood of our democracy. Let’s Talk America is where everyone can talk about America’s promise, about what freedom, democracy, unity and equality mean to us -- to "we the people." Let’s Talk America is a meeting ground where we can come together to listen, speak, ask and learn -- without being forced to agree, change or bite our tongues.
