"Our Budget, Our Economy (United States)","ebm","On June 26th, 2010 AmericaSpeaks held a National Town Meeting in 58 cities around the United States called Our Budget, Our Economy, where 3,500 Americans discussed possible solutions to America’s long term fiscal challenges.  A preliminary analysis from the MacArthur Foundation said:
“This event was meant to create a distinctive opportunity for ordinary Americans – not professional economists, policy makers, or political officials – to deliberate about these momentous choices according to their own values”.

The National Town Meeting took place in 19 communities across the United States as well as 38 volunteer-organized “community conversations”.  The 19 communities had a diverse set of participants, ensured by AmericaSpeaks, where as the 38 community conversations were organized by volunteers and thus may not have had a representational set of participants.","On June 26th, 2010 AmericaSpeaks held a National Town Meeting in 58 cities around the United States called Our Budget, Our Economy, where 3,500 Americans discussed possible solutions to America’s long term fiscal challenges.A preliminary analysis from...","Mon, 01/09/2012 - 08:36","United States","No","","","Budgeting","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation, Express opinions/preferences only, Listen/watch as spectator, Formal Testimony","Philanthropic Organization (i.e. dedicated to making monetary grants or gifts)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers), Raise public awareness, Community building (e.g. social capital), Develop individual capacities (e.g. skills, learning)","Open to all","Deliberation","National","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit)","Non-Governmental Organization (Non-profit), Philanthropic Organization (i.e. dedicated to making monetary grants or gifts)","Yes"
