  RESPONSE to theadvocate06:
  Great feedback! STL is unique in a few crucial ways.
  1) It is not a club, or lobby-focused organization; any citizen dedicated to finding solutions can participate in the process.
  2) The process culminates in actual change of policy or corporate practice, not just a report for congressional review someday.
  3) STL will not be re-inventing the work done by other think tanks, but will learn from them and use those learnings to move toward the actionable solutions, which are voted on by the participating public before introduction to the House or Private Entity.
  
  NOTE: The basis for this idea was inspred by a program called "Youth in Government" focused on high school students who want to experience what government involvement entails in a small, but practicable way.

  this is cool. do you think it makes sense to focus it on an issue area? I needed to read through the description a couple of times to 'get it.' Perhaps a nich focus would help with the clarity. I like how clear your process is, I'd just suggest focusing a bit on the easy to understand tagline. Although not totally relevant, check out www.celsias.com and innovation.spigit.com (talk about not easy to understand...if you take the time, it's actually quite an interesting process they go through for entrepreneurs trying to launch.)
  good luck.

  not being a "Sally Sas Alot" but I dont get what makes your idea different from so many that are out there. They have think tanks and what will your action team do?
  Again not knocking anyone, I have to take constructive criticism too, just trying to help :)
