Hey everyone ... I hope you are having a great week. I would like to invite you to our inaugural water cooler session at DemocracySpace.org. It's this Thursday, October 11, at 1 p.m. Eastern.

Each month, we?ll have a live blog session at DemocracySpace where you can meet and mingle with some of the most interesting players in our movement. This Thursday, October 11, our first session will feature a discussion on whether and how citizen engagement can help defuse hot-button issues at election time. Jim Noucas of Portsmouth Listens will be our featured guest. You can get more info here.

Let me know if you?d like to suggest a topic and/or featured guest for a future water cooler session, or if you have news that you?d like to see posted on our blog at DemocracySpace.org. You can leave a comment here or reach me at jfanselow at studycircles dot org.
