'''Demos: A Network for Ideas & Action''' "is a non-partisan public policy research and advocacy organization committed to building an America that achieves its highest democratic ideals. We believe this requires a democracy that is robust and inclusive, with high levels of electoral participation and civic engagement; an economy where prosperity and opportunity are broadly shared and disparity is reduced; and a strong and effective public sector with the capacity to plan for the future and provide for the common good. Founded in 2000, Demos? work combines research with advocacy-melding the commitment to ideas of a think tank with the organizing strategies of an advocacy group." [http://www.demos.org/page2.cfm]
