[Josh Tauberer]

Here's a new interesting example of a congressman using tech to draft
policy. (MixedInk is the same tool I used for my group letter experiment.)

Greetings from MixedInk!

We're writing to let you know about a unique opportunity to help shape
health care policy. We're also unveiling an exciting new feature and
sharing some other recent news about MixedInk.

Help Congress Draft Health Care Policy

Over the next couple of months, Congress will be designing legislation
that will fundamentally reshape our health care system. Representative
Anthony Weiner, a member of the health subcommittee that will be writing
the bill, is inviting citizens to draft key health care principles
together using MixedInk.

Here's a video of Congressman Weiner introducing the project:

Remember, at MixedInk, you can write your own set of health care
principles, remix what others write, and rate to help the best ideas
rise to the top. Since Representative Weiner submitted the first
version, you can add to what he wrote or borrow some of his words to
make a new version.
