Steven Clift’s Summary

See my full biography: http://www.publicus.net/about.html for more information.

E-mail: clift@publicus.net - I DO NOT respond to standard unedited LinkedIn requests. You MUST suggest why we should connect.

In short, my goal is to improve democracy and community by connecting everyone in the world interested in e-democracy. Through my Democracies Online Newswire and blog - http://dowire.org, I connect over 2750 people in 80 countries. Through E-Democracy.Org, I help active citizens build online forums to strengthen their local communities.

Through my speaking and research I subsidize the time I have available to do good.
