Dear Friends,
I would like to invite you to join a unique experiment in public dialogue…from the comfort of your home or office.
Next Thursday, April 21 at 3pm Pacific/ 6pm Eastern you can join an actual calm and civil conversation on the topic of our economic security. You may not know it, but you are an expert on our economy given your use of cash and credit on a daily basis, your household’s monthly expenses, your savings/retirement plans, and your transportation expenses!
Our discussion about how we might take care of our country’s economic security will be guided by several thoughtful questions and considerations developed by the National Issues Forum (NIF). This is NOT a test of your knowledge, or your bank account. I am not selling anything either. I’ll send you the link to the discussion information ahead of time and you’ll see just how manageable it is.
Did I say you can do this from an office or home computer? This is actually the second part of what I’m testing -- the NIF discussion materials PLUS an online conference call feature called MaestroConference.com. How cool is that??
You can do this, and I hope you choose to give it a try next Thursday by responding to this email, accepting my links to the discussion materials and joining this online discussion. Your feedback about the experience will be tremendously helpful, especially if you are new to this type of experience!
Have I convinced you? I hope so. Please reply to this email whatever your decision.
Thanks for your adventurous spirit.
