What is America Speaks?

One of the most sophisticated projects that I have come across in the field of online political communication in the government sector. They have an excellent guide called: “Public Deliberation: A Managers Guide to Citizen Engagement” (link .pdf) Plus a number of other highly innovative initiatives that you can view on their web site (thanks to Lars Hasselblad Torres for the link)

AmericaSpeaks formed the Democracy Lab for Research and Innovation to advance the fields of citizen engagement and deliberative democracy by supporting activities that:

* Build knowledge around best practices
* Develop and test new ways to engage citizens
* Increase collaboration within the field
