How to Use Choices of Democracy
6/5/2005
There are Hosted and Challenge debates/forums and News. "Hosted"
events are brought forward by groups and organizations.
"Challenge" events are brought forward by candidates. News
reports are submitted by all the above via text, audio or video.
The platform is open to all candidates and all races.
All
debates and forums posted are neutral and non-partisan. Content
contributed within a certain time is posted in the order received with
no editing. For Hosted events, submissions are posted
simultaneously so responses are made public at once giving equal
contest to all participants. For Challenge and News events,
submissions are posted when received. Content will be linked
through this and supporting organizations' websites. After use,
all content is donated to the Internet Archive.
Hosted events
Groups and organizations ask questions posted online for audio, video
or text responses as designated. If it is an audio forum,
respondents may respond with text if they so choose, and so on.
Hosted events open with invitations for submissions and close at a
specified time. All event submissions are made public after the
forum closes and is posted on Choices of Democracy. If you would
like to engage your organization contact choicesofdemocracy at gmail.com
Challenge events Challenge other respondents by posting questions to them, or as a first responder.
