> Dave,
>
> IP’ers be interested in participating in an experiment launched by Andy Lippman and his colleagues at the MIT Media 
> Lab to explore the propagation of civic activities through personal networks.

> The story:
>
> Can you build a network that spans all 50 states and inspires friends to call their Congresspeople about an issue of 
> importance? Andy's app makes calling and inviting friends easy: three clicks and you’re done.  It keeps a score of 
> calls and shows a map of where your network spreads. 
>
> As Andy says: "Calls matter! Issues matter! More than ever it’s important to get your voice heard effectively. And to 
> use the network to multiply it—hence the Challenge."
>
> This challenge is about engaging citizens in serious issues like the US budget, the recent immigration executive 
> orders, potential Russian interference in the government, and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. When you call, 
> choose your own issue and say whatever you like. This experiment is about engagement, not a particular point of view.
