I just posted this on Craigs List:

Denver Speakers Corner

We hope you'll join and RSVP. Your membership helps make sure the group continues, but it is not necessary to be a member to attend and to participate. Everyone is welcome! Who should attend Denver Speakers Corner? Everyone is welcome, but we especially encourage attendance from: *Candidates announcing their candidacy and/or asking for votes. *Supporters of such candidates for elected public office. *Public officials who'd like direct feedback from voters in an instant town hall meeting. *Concerned citizens who want to bring an issue or concern to the attention of other citizens. *Organizers forming a committee to campaign for new issues or causes. *Poets and writers with a new work to try out on a live audience. *Promoters of theatre, music, and other entertainments who'd like to make an announcement. *Promoters who want to introduce a live sample of their wares. *Public speakers who'd like to practice their craft. *People who want to listen to the above for enlightenment and enjoyment. *Curious newcomers to Denver who want to ask questions and find connections. *Denverites with out of town guests seeking unique aspects of the city to share. *Anyone looking for a good way to enjoy Sunday afternoon! "Cor ad cor loquitur." (Heart speaks to heart.) Take the soap box and give us 3 to 5 minutes straight from your heart, or just listen to what others have to share about issues, candidates, causes, and local Denver community news. The sign up sheet is out at 3:30 p.m. Those who RSVP and come by 4 p.m. speak first. This article about us was in the paper in August, 2008: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/aug/18/civic-center-blues-park-becomes-a-sunday-soapbox/ This column was in the Denver Post November, 2009: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_13876192 We hope you can join us at our next meeting to share with us about your candidate, issue, cause, concern, or just to share a few good jokes! RSVP to get on the speakers list and to get a vote as the group makes decisions, or just show up and get on the list at the meeting if you'd prefer. Those who RSVP will speak first, we will only video the first hour.

Check out what members are saying about Denver Speakers Corner:
"This is an opportunity to build social capital and hear fresh ideas." - Frank Atwood
"Come out and polish your skills. Rehearse a line a speech, or even an excuse you plan on giving your significant other. (LoL on the last one. "No really honey I was just joking!)
Express your thoughts, worries, anger (but please no violence), or just introduce yourself as you support those around you taking a chance.
Its free, so come on out and meet some pretty cool folks." - charles ballew
"Because there is no better way to keep free speech alive and kicking." - keith
"It will engage their interest, since we speak about current issues. Further, it will give people who like to speak a chance to do so, while giving people unskilled at speaking a chance to improve their skill." - G. P.
"This has the potential of becoming a great source of local news about Denver." - John Wren
