Your Seat at the Table

This sounds interesting. Will be a challenge though to sift through serious people and pranksters or worse, political enemies posing as friends. This is very different than a campaign but I hope it works. Their recognition that there are some great ideas outside of the Beltway abd that they want to find them is great.
Here is one quote about it: “It is a bold move on Obama’s part. Down the road, when his proposals are turned into actual policy, it will be easy to see which groups won out and which ones lost in the process. That transparency could lead to accusations of favoritism and quid-pro-quos as well as hurt feelings among certain industries that felt they were stepped over or ignored.”
