Demand Question Time: sign the petition for more open government

Obama's Q&A session with the House GOP was a unique and curiously hopeful political event:



About 50 bloggers, pundits, and media members from across the political spectrum (including Nate Silver of fiverthirtyeight.com) have organized the Demand Question Time petition, in the interest of making this type of event a regular occurrence. If done properly this could be an excellent opportunity to make the Executive and Legislative branches more open and accessible, both to each other and - more importantly - to the People. Silver has a great post on how the details of Question Time might work.

If you support this idea, please consider signing the petition.
