I believe Current TV is demonstrating that democratizing television can facilitate widespread participation in our national discourse.  We are trying to work within the medium of television to re-create a multiway conversation that includes individuals and operates according to a meritocracy of ideas.  There is a high degree of untapped creativity, intelligence, and talent, especially among young adults.  We invite our viewers--and the public at larg--to tell their stories on video and submit them to air on the network.  Our goal is not political or ideological.

The point is to foster a cornucopia of points of view and fresh perspectives that force people in rigid frameworks to reassess everything.  Connecting individuals to the conversation of democracy over the medium that is by far the most important is a way of opening up this medium so individuals can get back into the conversation with whatever points of view they wish to bring to it.
