Word of mouth

What draws you to Occupy Cafe?

I have been an advocate of improved public participation, both as a government employee and, now, as a citizen for many years. In 1997, I set up the very first web-forum for the public to comment on a project proposed by U.S. government.

Occupy seems to exhibit peoples' frustration with the quality of democratic governance: they are tired of being ignored after being constantly told that they are being listened to. (Maybe "exasperation" is a better word.)

So I think that my experience in public engagement may be of some use here. More about me at http://www.twitter.com/transpartisan
