I'm really enjoying the opportunity to build a dialogue with people around our great country, through my travels and speeches across America as well as online.
In particular, I really appreciated Josh Marshall's invitation to join TPM Café as a guest blogger during the last week of August. It was a tremendous experience for me, and I hope it was a good one for you as well. While coping together with the aftermath from Hurricane Katrina and figuring out how best we could help, we were also able to discuss issues related to Iraq, American values, energy policy, and the need for leadership as well as my visits in Wisconsin and Iowa.
These were stimulating and thought-provoking discussions that allowed us to talk and debate directly in the finest tradition of American politics -- and in a way that has not been possible in this age of mass media and mass politics. I want to continue and expand that dialogue to include even more people. That's why I am starting Clark's Policy Brief.
