"Big River of Democracy Tour" through Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana: "DIRECT DEMOCRACY IS LIKE DYNAMITE"

More seriously, with the U.S. briefing tours, we've always tried to go to new places and states where we haven't been before. We've done multiple briefing tours in the four big initiative states -- California, Oregon, Arizona and Colorado -- so we didn't want to repeat that. Two years ago, we went to three big, populous states in which direct democracy interplays with the presidential election -- Michigan, Ohio and Florida. This time, we wanted to get to states with strong traditions of direct democracy that we hadn't seen. So we'll all be learning things for the first time and making new contacts for Democracy International and the Global Forum on Modern Direct Democracy.
