/UCWE/ - HOTSOUP.com announced yesterday that Senator Barack Obama, advisor to President Bush Mary Matalin, former White House press secretary Scott McLellan, producer/director Davis Guggenheim, and cancer survivor and mother of two Heidi Boynton will participate in discussions when the community goes live next month.
According to Senator Obama, "Americans are tired of the spin they get from too many leaders today. If an online community can give grassroots opinion leaders a platform for smart, civil debate, it will fill a huge void in today's politics."
HOTSOUP.com aims to give the public a voice in this country's decision making process; to move public conversation beyond the spin and build a forum where Opinion Drivers will exchange ideas and voice opinions. Within the community, grassroots Opinion Drivers will be joined by the biggest names in politics, business, religion and culture to discuss the important issues of the day.
HOTSOUP.com is the first online community that joins Opinion Drivers from across the spectrum. Harnessing the power of social networking technology, it connects well-known influencers from the worlds of politics, business, entertainment, and industry with influencers who drive opinion on the grassroots and community level.
