Demand that politicians don't call you at dinner time.  Sign up now and register your phone number for the National Political Do Not Contact Registry.  Start by entering your email below.

The National Political Do Not Contact Registry is a program by Citizens for Civil Discourse, a non-partisan non-profit organization dedicated to helping to elevate political discourse in the USA.

We are ordinary citizens who want to bring real political discourse back to American political life.

We believe strongly that political discourse has become increasingly uncivil over the past generation and that something needs to be done.

One small action that can make a large difference is the elimination of political phone calls, specifically automated phone calls, that interrupt voters from all sides and reduce political participation significantly.

If you are interested to telling the politicians to stop calling you at dinner, sign up now for free to be part of the National Political Do Not Contact Registry and be part of history.

Mr. Dakin is a former senior management executive with leading Fortune 500 organizations such as FedEx, and Fannie Mae, as well as Laureate Education and the Motley Fool.  He was Sr. Vice President of Product Management at IXI Corporation, a marketing information services company in McLean, VA.

Mr. Dakin observed that American politics has become increasingly negative over the past 30 years.   With artificial definitions around "red" and "blue", what is considered political discourse today is simply turning off millions of voters.   

Wanting to do something to make better all American lives he believes that the formation of a National Political Do Not Contact Registry will provide a starting point for American voters from all political stripes and all states, red and blue, to take back control of the political discussion from the politicians.

In August, 2007 Mr. Dakin was humbled to be invited to be part of the Second Annual Public Innovators Summit at the Harwood Institute.  The summit is where the leading public innovators convene to engage on the core challenges facing politics and public life.

Mr. Dakin received his MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, AZ with a concentration in High Technology Marketing and his BA in Government from Colby College in Waterville, ME.   He received his 'A' levels from the Harrow School in London, UK and his high school degree from Salisbury School in Salisbury, CT.

He lives in Alexandria, VA with his wife and his son.
