Utah -- Hundreds of people filled the auditorium at Cottonwood High School for a "Town Hall for All" meeting Friday night. The event was organized in response to the unwillingness of some Republican lawmakers to schedule in-person town halls during the congressional recess. State lawmakers from both sides of the aisle participated in the event, and there were also a number of local organizations present, including Alliance for a Better Utah, Utah Moms for Clean Air, ACLU Utah and more.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
