Review the simulated Kennedy/Nixon Print Debate at www.printdebate.org and consider: Will a significant majority of Americans, regardless of party, approve of a public policy issue of paying newspapers and magazines for the relatively small cost of distributing Dialogue Documents for national and important regional Print Debates?
The long term benefits of creating this historical record and common understanding of political issues far outweighs the modest costs.
