The National Agenda Document Project

The National Agenda Document Project is a non-partisan collaboration that allows citizens to participate in national planning and provide more coherent input to their elected representatives. This experiment founded in 2006, has already emerged as a fascinating example of post-partisan citizen collaboration, especially in light of the striking political and social diversity of the participants.

The National Agenda document resides on Google Docs, a collaborative online word processor, at docs.google.com/View?docid=dc8jmgh_1dck35h. Members of Congress are invited to review the document. Participants are currently collaborating on the next edition with the intent to finalize and publish it by December, 2007.

Origin of The National Agenda Document Project

The book America 2076, proposed the development of an internet application that allows US citizens to use web browsers, cell phones and other devices to collaborate on the annual creation of a "National Agenda" document. The document would be frozen and published each year before the opening of the next session of Congress.

How to Participate

If you would like to participate in the creation of the National Agenda document, you need to do two things:
