What if citizens could vote on laws, written and sponsored by representatives, instead of just allowing representatives to vote for them? How would we run government with this type of Direct Democracy?
Secure voting may be done online using blockchain verification (as used by Bitcoin) or by paper ballots at local post offices and government offices. The number and length of bills going up for votes in each year would need to be drastically reduced in a Direct Democracy to encourage sufficient participation. Currently, very few representatives have time to read all the bills that they vote on and citizens never hear about most of them. This is an unacceptable situation.
This site is not affiliated with any one political party or ideology. Although we do tend to favor the decentralization of power over the centralization and concentration of power, we do not advocate no government whatsoever. Any society requires organized effort to improve the quality and security of the lives of its individual members, but these organized efforts should never become rigid top-down control systems unresponsive to the people who created them. The overall aim of this site is to promote true democracy and to take political control away from corporate lobbyists, party bosses, politicians, and union leaders. Visitors are invited to fill out survey forms for each issue.
