At Kiva's Corner we aim to include ALL citizens in the the deliberation for better democracy here in Klamath County. This week we sat down to discuss our plan for Kiva's circle and the 5th of November, Guy Fawkes Day when we go to the polls and vote for the future of Klamath County and the United States.
At Kiva's Corner we are working toward developing a process where local citizens from Klamath County can come together to discuss and decide on issues that affect the lives and homes of citizens here in Klamath County. The roots of deliberative democracy can be traced back to Aristotle. One purpose of populist deliberative democracy can be to use deliberation among a group of lay citizens to distill a more authentic public opinion about societal issues for other decision-makers to consider.
