You are invited to join “A Nation in Debt,” an online deliberative forum beginning on Monday, April 8, and continuing through April 20. The site will be open to participants continuously during that period, but you must register by Monday, April 8, at 4 pm.

How does the national debt affect individuals, businesses, and communities? Together we will consider the impact of the national debt and explore three possible options for addressing this issue, and work to find common ground.

The forum adapts A Nation in Debt: How Can We Pay the Bills? — an issue guide developed by the National Issues Forums Institute — for online use.

Join the conversation by going to debt.lfdaforums.org and clicking “Register” in the upper right-hand corner.  You can learn more by visiting the site.

Deliberative Democracy Online is brought to you by the nonpartisan Live Free or Die Alliance and New England Center for Civic Life at Franklin Pierce University.
