Issue Teams– I am in the process of creating small work groups where volunteers meet to research, discuss, and brainstorm on many of the challenges our community and state face. If you'd like to learn more about getting involved in this effort please let me know.
I have created these teams so that individuals who have specific areas of interest can come together to research, compile, and share information. There are also opportunities for volunteers to reach out to people in the community so that we can receive feedback and guidance directly from the experts themselves--the voters.
The goal in creating these teams is to not only run a campaign that is directly engaged with citizens on the ground, but also to nurture leaders that people in the community–myself included--can turn to as a resource.
State Government is a complex with many issue and challenges. No one person has the time or capacity to stay on top of every issue. But when people join together to share time and information the challenge is less overwhelming.

Hmmm. This reminded me of the two quotes from John Stuart Mill and de Tocqueville I call out here http://friendfeed.com/nicknich3/a5a1e1ee/fwd-quotes-on-necessity-of-public-voluntarism
