Ask the President Praises Obama for New Online Initiative | CommonDreams.org:

WASHINGTON - March 25 - Hours before President Obama's second press conference on Tuesday night, the White House announced that it will convene the first transparent, democratically accountable online town hall in American history. The new experiment enables citizens to submit questions, vote on questions from citizens around the country, and watch the President "answer some of the most popular questions" by video on Thursday. The Ask The President coalition, which launched an online voting portal and urged the White House to take citizen questions at presidential press conferences, welcomed Obama's "Open for Questions" initiative.
