I just saw your short video on the website and wondered how our local Living Democracy Committee could purchase a copy of it to use in our efforts to educate and inspire the public here to action. We have used the Public Campaign/Bill Moyers one, but I think yours makes the same points more succinctly! Please come to the midwest on your tour. Here in Bloomington/Normal,Il., we have two universities and a populace of over 125,000 and we would give you a wonderful welcome! By the way, your Democracy's Edge is what got our committee to evolve from civil discourse to clean elections. Let us know any ideas you have for moving the public. Gosh, it's hard when they don't itch or hurt enough, or they don't know it! Thanks for listening.
