New Nonpartisan Organization, Voice Of the People, and Campaign for a Citizen Cabinet to be Launched by Bipartisan Group of Former Members of Congress on October 3, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Innovative Citizen Cabinet Model Can Help Break Gridlock, Give People a More Effective Voice
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
WHAT: Former Members of Congress from both parties and other civic, business and academic leaders will launch a new nonpartisan organization, Voice Of the People (VOP) along with its groundbreaking Campaign for a Citizen Cabinet. Using innovative technology on an unprecedented scale, the Citizen Cabinet would enable every Member of Congress to hear from a representative sample of their constituents on key issues facing Congress.
Americans believe, as did the Founders, that the common sense of the people can help break through polarization and gridlock, find common ground and lead to government that better serves the common good. As public confidence in government has reached historic lows and gridlock continues to engulf Congress, VOP seeks to give "We the People" a greater voice in government decision-making.

Participants include:
Hon. Michael N. Castle, former Governor and U.S. Representative (R-DE)
Hon. Byron Dorgan, former U.S. Senator (D-ND)
Hon. Bill Frenzel, former U.S. Representative (R-MN)
Hon. Martin Frost, former U.S. Representative (D-TX)
Dr. Steven Kull, VOP President and Founder
DATE: Thursday, October 3, 2013
TIME: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
