Join the League of Conversation Voters!


This is not a typo, as it usually is. It's an idea. Shouldn't there be an organization that represents people who want to discuss the political issues of the day in a reasonable tone; ask their questions politely, even if firmly; not shout down opposing views or answers; and just have a normal conversation about a topic under discussion?

I think this is a cool name, and I'm sure it would unite thousands of people now who want to discuss health care and other issues reasonably, without accusing everyone on the other side of being Nazis or whatever.

A single person by himself or herself who wants to come to a town hall meeting and have a thoughtful Q&A discussion often can't get through the shouting crowd that wants no information exchange at all. But if all those people were part of an organization, like the League of Conversation Voters, I'm sure it would be much easier to overcome the hecklers who don't want a productive conversation.

Now I don't have organizing or PR skills to make this thing a reality, but I'm sure someone here does. Isn't this exactly what we need right now, so people stop having irrational fear of health care based on outlandish ideas with no basis in reality?

Please support this post if you think it's a good idea - not just for now, but in the long term as well.
