I just wanted to give a quick shout out to all of you who have been supporting Citizen Voices since its kickoff in January.
It's pretty scary putting our opinions out there to be analyzed and scrutinized, so we truly appreciate your encouragement and interest! We've never claimed to be experts in politics, only interested. We're trying our best to post informed and entertaining content each day and we're grateful for your patience and tolerance when we fall short of perfection.
To us, being a good citizen means getting involved in the community and trying to improve it for the greater good. While we may disagree on issues at times, we all agree that San Diego is America's finest city and worth our time to make it even better.

Writing publicly about politics has definitely been a learning experience, largely because of the feedback public discourse invites. It's been a totally new experience speaking openly on the radio too (talk about getting tongue tied!)
From many of our comments I'd guess dialogue can be difficult to continue without becoming entrenched in one's own position. I've learned so much from hearing what some of the more outspoken readers have said, but just as much has been gleaned from the insightful comments of the occasional response.
Thanks indeed!
