Welcome to WikiDemocracy Edit
Imagine if "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union" created a WikiCongress, to act as a people-partisan "think tank" to propose new legislation (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/lawsmade.bysec/sourcesofleg.html). Would the interests of the American people be more fairly represented than the interests of Special Interests? This is the experiment that begins here at WikiDemocracy.
WikiDemocracy has a goal of providing an area for initial "think tank" efforts, of generating an awareness of efforts that are already underway, and finally of moving some of these works into WikiCongress for legislative formalization.
If you would like to contribute to WikiDemocracy, add new "We the People" Projects that you are aware of. Or, you can contribute to the "We the People" think tank with your own special interests!
If you want to discuss and decide about the rules that should govern our wikiDemocracy, you are welcome to vote at Community Portal.
10/10/2007 : If you want to help about building a wiki that would make propositions, discussions of propositions and democratic votes easy, you are welcome to participate at the wikicracy project.

"We the People" ProjectsEdit
A number of "We the People" projects are underway that are complementary to an overall effort to improve democracy.
Electoral information is provided at elections.wikicities.com so that voters can inform each other directly concerning candidates.
BeyondVoting has some excellent references to new wikitools of democracy.
Finally, below are references to "We the People" projects. If you find yourself interested in any of these projects become involved. I'm sure there are ways that they would appreciate your help and support.

The Basics this section excerpted from BeyondVoting Edit
In selecting and fashioning new governance features, various perspectives about civics, representation, and democracy must be considered. For whatever we do, will be built on the foundations created by people and documents like the following.
- Plato - His complete works.
- Thomas Hobbes - His complete works.
- John Locke - His complete works.
This section is for initial "Think Tank Publishing". Interestingly, the UN and the Council on Foreign Relations might be considered as types of think tanks. Now Washington DC is full of think tanks. These think tanks are funded by a seemingly infinite number of sources.
In the wikia spirit this site is fully open to everyone. The sources that compose its interests are Yourselves!
