Voter Speak ~ November 2010

WELCOME TO A VOICE FOR THE PEOPLE!

As your State Representative I wanted to find a way that would allow instant citizen participation in legislative assessment and reflection.  Facebook is a good place to start, and you can certainly post comments on my Facebook page, but I wanted a better way that would encourage continued participation with citizens, lobbyist and media through discussions, debates, polls, posting ideas and commentary.


Occasionally, pieces of Legislation that I am working on will be posted here for your review, discussion, debate and comments as well.

To particpate in debates, post comments, join discussions, post ideas, take polls, all "Voter Speak" members must login.

All information posted here is public, transparent, and subject to commentary. Please remember you are a guest here and use respect, be polite and refrain from name calling and insults. We want this to be a positive experience for everyone.
