20140253727 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN A USER AND A PUBLIC OFFICIAL - To foster civilized discourse between the general public and public officials, a system is provided that establishes a controlled environment in which the general public and public officials can electronically communicate. For example, the system can allow a constituent to generate a message related to a political issue for a public official to read or view and provide a network that allows the message to be transmitted to the public official and be available for reading or viewing by the general public. The message could be written, captured via an audio file, and/or captured via a video file. The message, when viewed or read by the general public, can be distorted so as to preserve the identity of the person who has created the message. However, to ensure that a civilized discourse is maintained, the message would not be distorted when presented to the public official. | 09-11-2014 |
