- The New Democracy Project - Better government through modern communications
The New Democracy project is a consortium of influential leaders that advocate and support an overhaul of the style of democracy currently in
use in the United States. The overall impetus of the project is that the technology of the Internet can be used to increase the participation of the
citizens of the United States in their Government. In the initial stages of the project, an online system of referendums is created so that a citizen
can record or change their vote on a given issue by accessing a non-commercial website.

to bring in new laws and policies, or to alter, or remove existing ones.
