In conjunction with this part of the program at Democracy Fest - I have created a "classroom" at the Democracy University site online. There you will be able to access a bibliography and some of the readings related to this topic. But more than this - this will enable participants to continue this discussion with myself as well as the other participants after the session at Democracy Fest. We can continue to develop a discussion on the issue and related topics - and generate some collective thoughts on the topic.

It is easy to access the classroom. To do so - you need to click on the following link to Democracy University. There you should follow the link to the Classrooms. Register as a user through the login (it doesn't cost anything) - and then click on the "What it means to be a Progressive" link under "Short Courses". To get in - you will need a "key" - the key for this classroom is: AG-S-1302.

If you have any problems logging in or registering at the site - feel free to email me at cgrapski@democracyuniversity.com.

I look forward to meeting each of you in Austin - and to our continued discussions on this important topic.
