Welcome to WikiDemocracy Edit
Imagine if "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union" created a WikiCongress.
Wow! Did you hear that right? Yes you did. That's WikiDemocracy in America, folks. De Tocqueville would be really proud.
Imagine the good old citizens of this here USA all clambering together into a virtual Legislature to propose new legislation. Would the interests of the American people be more fairly represented then? You betcha they would. This is the experiment that begins here at WikiDemocracy.
"Jeez, Uncle Sam, you mean . . . instead of 535 people in Congress, there would be . . . umm . . . 220 million people in it?
That's right, Jimmy. It's Wikidemocracy in America.
That sounds scary, Uncle Sam.
There's nothing scary about it, Jimmy. It's just folks making decisions together. A whole lot of folks.
But Uncle Sam, it's gonna take our wagon trains months to all get together in the same place over there in the Washington . . .
You're forgetting about the INTERNET, Jimmy. Now let's get serious about this."
WikiDemocracy is coming to you. But you have to want it to come! There no WikiCongress without you!

8/23/2012: If you would like to contribute to a circular letter in book form about wikidemocracy, please email Robin at settdigger at gmail dot com . He would love to hear from you. And hooray to the Online Party of Canada for bringing some direct e-democracy into the Canadian political arena!
Furthermore, Robin Dunn has noticed no one ever uses this wiki! And yet, it's very high in Google rankings for the term 'Wikidemocracy.' Does anyone feel the love . . . anyone?
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.
