hi there!

welcome to deliberative affairs

I'm excited to have you join us. My name is Megan Bratton and I created Deliberative Affairs as a way to allow myself and others to start digging through books, articles, and our nation's documents to have a better understanding of what our foundation is so we can imagine and create our future.
You might be wondering what Deliberative Affairs means. MacMillion Dictionary defines deliberative as "involving careful thought and discussion" and affairs as "events and activities relating to the government, politics, economy, etc. of a country, region, or the world".  Putting those two words together essentially means that this place is one where we can read multiple documents on our past and our present, have open conversations, and use the information we obtain from our reading material in order to vote with confidence.
