Project aims to bolster civic discussion

By Matt Hackworth

KANSAS CITY – Kansas City and nine other US communities joined for a dialogue about America's role in the world. As part of the By the People public television project, residents in selected cities were randomly polled about their opinions on U-S economic and security policies. K-C-U-R's Matt Hackworth reports on the project and what Kansas Citians had to say about the war in Iraq and the economy.
