The Visible Republic is the work of Joseph A. (Joe) Gioia, a current resident of Chicago, IL. The Republic will change every day. The whole thing would not have been possible without the help of a lot of people, some gone now, for quite some time. Of special note are Dennis Wilen (thanks again, Void), Mark Thomas, Keri Advocat, Peter Moore, Lucia and Jim, Louise and John, Carlotta and Frank, Dolly and Anthony and Rosalie and Joe.
