Good Afternoon, Roy

Here is the text of the email I received. I assume I'm not violating any confidences by posting it because it was sent to me even though I (apparently) wasn't party to the discussion. I plan to check out the named site after posting this message.

Mirek,

Thanks for the update on George Sagi.

"Get involved in local politics within the established structures." "Work for direct democracy." Seems contradictory.

However, I am aware of at least one concept that moves toward aligning these two imperatives. This is the VoteDirect program:

[vpsystems.net].

The main idea of VoteDirect is that the candidate pledges to be directed by referenda within his/her district. Needs work and practical experience I think. But still, maybe a way out of the box.

Best,

Mark Antell
