A section for government submissions, inquiries, community consultations etc.
I submit that there should be a special forum in the 'Intactivism' sub-section specifically for posting about open government calls for submissions, inquiries, community consultations etc (in countries all around the world).
I have so far located two opportunities in quick succession in both the United Kingdom and Australia.
In a government the size of that in the United States, there must at any given time be dozens of Bills taking public submissions, House & Senate committee reviews (at federal and state levels) and local community consultations to which we could be making written representations (which somebody in the bureaucracy, having called for submissions, would be obliged to read).
A separate forum would also ensure that opportunities to make our views known directly to government, uninterrupted and unfiltered, would not be lost amongst the various other "Calls to Action".
