Hi Jim, and welcome to the Five Freedoms Network. It's great to have you here. I'm pretty sure we've met during one of my visits to the Humphrey Institute, but it could just be that I've heard Dennis talk about you so much I THINK we've met!
I'm really looking forward to seeing how we can grow PA's social network here. (I'm a true PA fan[atic]!) And I hope you'll let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for how the Network and The Five Freedoms Project can support your work.
Here's the official Five Freedoms Network welcome:
We're partnering with The Forum for Education and Democracy on their Will We Really Campaign, launched on February 6, and hope you'll take a few minutes to visit the campaign web site: www.willwereally.org!
As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.
As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.
In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)
Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. And please, the next time you're online, upload a photo to your personal profile -- the easiest way to make a virtual network feel more personal is by seeing each other's faces (and profile answers). Thanks again!
