If You Believe A Free Exchange Of Ideas Is Important For Democracy

Public Response was born as a community email newsletter to encourage transparency of government and to cultivate communication. Your confidence in the action of public thought will secure a place for public opinion in our society and in that of our children. Our children will live in the shadows of our negligence or in the wisdom and brilliance of our actions.
