The caucus has been created to help the country better prepare for the selection of our next president through thousands of informed face-to-face discussions, and to discover more meaningful access to the country’s political system toward the goal of helping revitalize American democracy.

This builds on the phenomenon of the ‘03/04’ election season where the Internet enabled nearly 5 million self-appointed citizens to organize and participate in countless local political “Meetups”, Town Halls, and House Parties.

With hopes to advance discussion and deliberation on the issues and candidates in greater numbers, the Caucus creates a new voice for those willing to participate in person. It’s open to all civic and political organizations that wish to take part as a special event or as part of their regular activities on the condition that the meeting be publicly accessible.

Registration for the event is scheduled to officially open on Labor Day at NationalCaucus.com. The use of other web services such as Meetup, Facebook, and MySpace is also encouraged to ensure a successful caucus.  PoliticsOnline Inc. is a partner with the National Caucus.
